Stefano Folgarait does Omen Nomen (9a)
Stefano Folgarait, with two 9aโs and 130 FAโs under his belt, has repeated Stefano Ghisolfiโs Omen Nomen (9a) in Arco.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I started trying the route around mid-November and in a short time I fell several times on the last hard block and felt pretty close... then in January I was forced to stop for 20 days due to an injury. I resumed trying the route in February and then on March 3rd, after finding an easier method for the final block, I finally managed to climb it.
How big is the bolting potential around Arco?
I've bolted around 130 routes in the Terragnolo valley and there's probably potential for another 50-60 routes, most of them in unpublished crags.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
