Stefano Ghisolfi ticks Flow State (8C)
Stefano Ghisolfi has completed Flow State (8C) in Val Daone. This was the fourth 8C for the route specialist with four 9b+โ to his name. (c) Sara Grippo
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Flow state starts from Grizzly (8A+/B) and finishes on Flow (8B/+). tried it for the first time last year and it felt impossible, specially the last move of Flow. I climbed the first part quite fast but I couldn't climb the last section last year. I tried it a bit more this year and finally climbed Flow on Saturday and it took me just a couple more tries to connect it from the lower start.
What is next?
I'd like to go back on routes at some point ๐
