Melloblocco 2017 starts today

Everything ready for today in Melloblocco celebrating also the Italian Bouldering Cup.(C)Talo Martín/Muérdago Films More than 2.000 pre-registered climbers and more tomorrow will take part in one of the biggest bouldering events in the world. The forecast will be rainy but just in the evenings during 4 days of competition, party and live music. The organization also has covered with big canvass a bunch of boulders to avoid the rain. Vertical-Life have been invited and like last year they will run a Zlagboard and a scorecard contest, through their App. If you break the 2.44 world record by Ramonet you get 1 500 Euro.
