Thunder Ribes 9a by Matteo Menardi

Matteo Menardi has done his fifth 9a, Thunder Ribes in Arco. (c) Garreth Parry "Prime conditions yesterday at the Pueblo crag. I managed to send Thunder Ribes, a 90 moves 9a which is made up of a 60 moves 8b+, followed by a very good rest point. Then there is the 12-moves crux, which leads to a decent rest. The final step is clipping the chain."
