Simone Tentori sends three 8C’s

Simone Tentori has had some great days in Valle Bavona doing Primitivo (8C), 4-Lo (8C) and Roadkill (8C). ”Surreal experience climbing it myself. The kneebar drove me crazy, but stocked to eventually unlock it.”

How can you best explain the great progress this year?
2025 was a breakthrough year for me. I could spend more days on the rock than ever before and skipped indoor training for several months. I was seeking to push my limits further and decided to focus exclusively on very hard lines. In the past 12 months, I could climb 10 problems graded 8C (including one 8C+) and tried so many more across different locations, rock types, and styles. That was such a valuable lesson and I feel that it contributed to fundamentally reshape my climbing and my perspective on difficulty. Very excited to leave for the US soon and see what happens next

What are your US plans?
Not sure yet. I'll meet in arizona with my partner Siara and then hit Bishop or Red rocks base on the best conditions. I don't have a specific goal in mind, just keep the flow going and climbing on what gets me the most psyched. I'm keen and very curious to check Yosemite boulders if there is a chance.
