Stefano Carnati sends Vecchio Leone Sit (8C+)
Can you tell us more about the ascent and the number of sessions needed?
I did the stand 5 years ago. Then I briefly tried the sit last year 3/4 times but with little dedication. This year it took other 3 sessions!
What are your winter plans?
I’ll be heading to Slovenia next week for my PhD, so I’m really looking forward to visiting some crags there as well! I’m currently attending my 2nd year of PhD in environmental and chemical sciences and I must spend a period of at least 6 months abroad and Slovenia was the choice as I’ve found a research group interested in my topic!
