Pietro Vidi sends Foundations Edge (8C) and three 8B+
Pietro Vidi, who was #6 in a Boulder Euro Cup in May and #3 in the Italian Championship, has during a five day trip to Fionnay done Foundations Edge (8C), video, The Bitter End (8B+)
Scarred for Life (8B+) and Compass North (8B+).
"It was my first time in Fionnay and I was looking forward to putting my comp shape to good use on this roof! In five days of climbing, I could send all the lines of the big roof. The only one left is Fuck the system (8C+) which I briefly tried and Iโm really psyched to come back for. I have been pretty lucky with the weather as it was very cold and dry for the period.
Compass definitely felt the easiest, it just took me one hour plus one try the day after. I needed two sessions for Scarred and two and a half for Foundation that felt slightly harder than the 8B+ but it fits my style way better. The bitter end is a route on his own that I used as a side project and should probably have a sport climbing grade!"

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
