Sever The Wicked Hand 9a by Silvio Reffo
Silvio Reffo, who did his twelfth 9a in 2018, has added one more to his scorecard, Sever The Wicked Hand in Frankenjura. "I did a try some years ago, last week I checked the moves but the route was wet and this week I tried two days."
How come this was the first 9a since 2018?
I climbed some 9a but I downgraded them to 8c+ ๐๐๐... Last year due to lockdown I didn't climb and skip the good climbing season in Italy. With work and family, it's also difficult to be in a good shape every moment...
What are your summer plans?
Iโd like to finish some projects near home but I must wait for fresh conditions So for the summer Iโll work, train and climb in some summer spots in Italy.
