Simone Tentori sends, From Dirt Grows The Flowers (8C)

Simone Tentori has done From Dirt Grows The Flowers (8C) in Chironico after projecting for 10+ sessions. (c) Siara Fabbri

Can you tell us more about doing your fifth 8C?
Every "failed session" became a productive session and allowed me to not focus on the last piece of the puzzle but instead on the tiny details and body feelings. The mantle is so tricky for me that it completely shut me down for the first two days and then the improvements were still really slow, but I understood that every small improvement was necessary to climb the last elusive part from the bottom. I spent the last 5 sessions falling at the mantle, but I knew that it was something that I was capable of, and I kept trying [to stay] convinced that it was just a matter of time. It was a special learning process shared with a special person who inspires me every day to dream big.
