Simone Tentori ticks Big Nose (8C)

Simone Tentori, who two months ago sent Ephyra (8C+), has completed Big nose (8C) in Fionnay. ”The new Fionnay classic! Amazing power endurance bloc with crazy features and moves. Regarding the difficulty, not easier than Foundation imo.” (c) Siara Fabbri

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Big Nose is a new problem on the Permanent Midnight boulder. It has been cleaned and climbed by Dylan [Chuat] and Clem [Lechaptois] last year. This year, as soon as the road opened, I started trying it, and I was immediately hooked by the quality of the movement and rock shapes and colors. I could solve the moves pretty soon but I had to spend more sessions and time to find my flow and make the first part very efficient in order to arrive at the upper (main) crux with good power. I sent it during a hot evening session with a good fight at the top. So cool! I'm sure it is going to be the new classic of the area!

Any summer plans?
I will spend the whole summer in South Africa with my partner Siara, exploring the Cape Town area first and then Rocklands. We are so excited!
