Stefano Carnati sends Change P1 (9a+)
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I arrived in Flatanger on August 1st, with only two weeks to climb, and decided to focus on this line since practicing the initial part went smoothly. Having already climbed most of the 9a routes in the cave, this was the only one that seemed feasible given the humid conditions we faced during the first days.
The brutal crux took me five days to figure out efficiently, but on the sixth day, I finally managed to link it from the ground! Although my time here is running out, I’m determined to return someday to put in more effort and complete the entire line.
