The Bomb 9a by Fabrizio Peri (49)

Fabrizio Peri, who did his first 9a at age 42, has done his third, The Bomb in Collelpardo. "Before the lockdown I managed to send a project that I had been trying for two years. It is a connection of about 90 movements which starts with the most of the 8b+ Callagan and then continues with a 10 meters traverse into the second half of Sitting bull of 8c+/9a."

So how is it possible to be in peak performance almost 50-years-old?
It's possible if you have a great passion and if you like to always train to the maximum ... and you must be lucky to not get injured. I am a lover of training and I like to study and always try new methodologies. I am a military teacher of physical education and climbing and I can train two times a day for an hour and a half per session.
