Michele, 16, and Matteo, 15, Reusa send TCT (9a)
Michele, in the picture, comments: ”I tried the route for 2 days plus attempts on the 2 routes that make it up (L'Extremacura (8c) and Base Jump (8b+)). The route is very beautiful. It’s a resistance route and the game is to do the 8c very easy in order to arrive on the 8b+ well.”
Matteo, 15, has won two Euro Boulder Cups in 2023 and Michele, 16, was #6 in his only appearance. In the 8a ranking game, the little brother is #4 and big brother is #6.
