Stefano Ghisolfi does Brunhilde low start (9a)
What is your project status of Silence? Have you done all the sequences?
Yes, but just separately. No great progress so far, still haven't tried it from the ground. The hardest part is starting a bit before then the first crack crux and climb it. I go with the right foot in the crack instead of left, and use some crimps to turn again up, but the rest is very similar!
