Michele and Matteo Reusa do Cobra Reale (9a)

Michele Reusa and Matteo Reusa (pictured) have completed Cobra Reale (9a) in Andonno.

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Michele, 18: It is a connection of Cobra (8b) and Anaconda (8c). It is a route of resistance strength and I am very happy to have done the route because it is not my style.

Matteo, 17: I tried this route last year, always falling on the last move. this year when I came back to try it I managed to send it.

Now the teenagers are in Margalef where both have onsighted 8b and redpointed several other hard routes 8b+ and beyond.
