Stefano Ghisolfi ticks The Full Journey (9b)
Stefano Ghisolfi has repeated Alex Megosโ The full journey (9b) in Margalef, after projecting it for nine days. (c) Sara Grippo
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I was projecting The journey (9a+) and also tried the last part (the full journey). But I was struggling a lot on the 9a+ crux and I couldn't do it and I fell few times before the 9a+ anchor. Today I passed for the first time and then I kept going and did the full journey, the very first time I could to the 9a+.
What is your next focus and how long will you stay?
The focus is now on Sleeping Lion (9b)! We haven't planned how long the trip will be, until it's too warm!

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
