Stefano Ghisolfi sends Kangaroo's Limb (9a+)
Can you tell us more about the ascent and also say something about your big project?
I tried Kangaroo's Limb as a side project while trying Silence. In total, I worked on it for 8 days but on some of them I did just one or two goes after trying the main project. In the end, when I was feeling ready to send it, I focused on attempts and sent it the day after. On Silence I'm slowly improving on the crux, I could do it in two parts but connecting them together seems still far. Now I'll be back home for the Rockmaster and the World Cup in Koper and then I'll come back to Flatanger for a few more days
