Siara Fabbri ticks Salamandre (8A+)

Siara Fabbri, with two 8B+’ to her name, has completed Salamandre (8A+) in Brione. ”Worth doing just for squeezing those pinches!! Very cool movement in tension.” (c) Simone Tentori

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
This boulder is quite unique for the area because it has a really big perfect pinch sticking out of the wall. You do the entire boulder besides the top-out with your left hand on this big pinch, then a smaller pinch. The moves are very much about keeping tension in the feet and shoulders, and I found that I need to really actively squeeze the big pinch. Once I understood this, it felt very good. 5 star climbing and a classic must-do!
