Super Pit (9a) FA'ed by Silvio Reffo
1 June 2023
"I bolted this route last autumn, but with the arrival of winter it was too cold to climb to in Covolo. Last month after climbing Trofeo dell'Adriatico (9a+), I went back to try Super Pit. It is a route of 40 movements of power endurance, in fact, in the last few weeks I was falling on the last hold 5-6 times. It’s amazing how this crag still offers many extreme routes. I still have several projects from 9a to 9b that I would like to try in the next season."
