The Bow 9a+ FA by Stefano Ghisolfi
Stefano Ghisolfi has done the FA of The Bow 9a+ in Arco. In total, the Italian, who has also been one of the best Lead competition climbers in the world, has now done 18 routes 9a+ to 9b+. (c) Sara Grippo Video starting 1.40 showing the amazing crux. Uncut video from below.
"I started trying the route after the lockdown and then it came warmer and warmer weather, so I was thinking about stop trying this summer and try again next fall, but I kept going and finally did it yesterday. The bow move is kind of crazy, when I was trying at the beginning it felt weird and quite impossible, but probably it is the easiest and only way to do it."

โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
