Mejdi Schalck flashes Casavino (8B+)
Mejdi Schalck, who won silver at last monthโs World Championship, has flashed Casavino (8B+) at Brione. The 21-year-old posted a great uncut video of the ascent on his Instagram. Mejdi has previously climbed multiple 8C boulders and 9a routes, including Es Pontas (9a+).
How did you betawise prepare for the flash.
I didnโt prepare that much haha. A friend gave me the beta and I tried. He sent it in front of me.
What are your winter plans and will you focus on comps also in 2026?
Yes, but I will do a lot of outdoors too this year! Winter plans is a trip to US!
