Stefano Folgarait does Omen Nomen (9a)

Stefano Folgarait, with two 9aโ€™s and 130 FAโ€™s under his belt, has repeated Stefano Ghisolfiโ€™s 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around 130 routes in the Terragnolo valley and there's probably potential for another 50-60 routes, most of them in unpublished crags.
