Stefano Ghisolfi sends Dreamtime (8C)

Stefano Ghisolfi, who has climbed five 8C boulders and above in the past nine months, has now repeated Dreamtime (8C) in Cresciano. At 33, Ghisolfi has established himself as one of the worldโ€™s top route climbers over the past decade, with four 9b+ ascents to his name. On the competition circuit, he has claimed six World Cup titles, including the overall crown in 2021. (c) Sara Grippo

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried it once around 15 years ago but just out of curiosity, without any chance. I decided to try it again this year more seriously and went for the crimps beta after four sessions.

What is next and what about comps in 2026?
The Story Of 2 Worlds (8C) and maybe Story of Three Worlds (8C+)! I'll compete in just a few selected comps in Europe, and in the Euro championship in Lead.
