San Ku Kai 8c+ by Andrea Chelleris (13)

Andrea Chelleris, who last year did an 8c+/9a, has done San ku kai (8c+) in Entraygues. "I spent 10 days and maybe 20 tries, I thought to do it before but I had problems with the heel."

The 13-year-old did his first 8b+ at age 9 and he is also a competitive skier who last year won the Italian Championship. Last year he also did his first 8a+ onsight.

How did it go this year in your skiing and climbing competitions?
In skiing, I won a FIS Children Cup in Slovenia called Pokal loka (it's an international competition). In climbing, I won the boulder Italian championship.

Have you been close on an 8b onsight?
Yes, 2 times. I did Albaretto (8b) in 2 tries in Bosco Verde and I did Helikopter v omaki (8b) in 3 tries because I missed a heel.
