Super Pit (9a) FA'ed by Silvio Reffo
"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."
