Second life 8A+ by Vroni Gaรner
Vroni Gaรner , who last year did five 8A's, has done Second life (8A+) in Chironico. "First of the grade - perfect start of the New Year!"
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I first tried this line during my Ticino trip in winter 2021/22 and already got close to sending it. But as I arrived several times with numb fingers in the end section I realized I need warmer conditions. During my second trip last spring, I couldnโt really try this boulder due to a finger injury. So I arrived really motivated this winter and climbed it already in my first session but with a small dab. This try gave me a lot of confidence and in the next session, I was finally able to send Second Life.
