Pietro Vidi adds Roadkill (8C) to his ticklist
Pietro Vidi, who has sent seven boulders 8B+ to 8C this autumn, has repeated Shawn Raboutouโs Roadkill (8C) in Valle Bavona. In the 8a ranking game, the 20-year-old Italian is #4.
"It was quite an unexpected one! I would have never thought to be able to do the first kneebar and for two days I couldnโt do the move. On the third day I randomly stuck the move thanks to Dave's [Graham] precious tips, and I fell on the easy part not being able to keep my mind together. I came back the day after, stuck the move first try and didnโt let go on the high exit! For sure, it is one of the most beautiful lines in Bavona, even though it all revolves around the first move."

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.
