TTT 9a by Stรฉfanie Lo Piccolo (37)
Stรฉfanie Lo Piccolo has repeated her husband, Cedric's Trip tik tonik (9a) in Gorges du Loup. Fanatic Climbing has made an interview with the 37-year-old and mother of two children, who twice got a bronze in the Youth World Championship.
"After the Covid period, I was in good shape. The gyms were closed, the children were back to school, and we had more time to climb outside. In the space of a year, I did a lot of hard climbs: the tough 8c/+ of โTango Tonikโ at Dรฉversรฉ and several others lines in the 8c range. The shape was back. In the fall of 2021, I saw Petr Blaha try โTTTโ and it caught my attention. I did 4 sessions in October 2021 in order to find my methods. This spring, I went back on the route and started doing good links."
During the last three weeks, she has worked it intensively and she thanks Matteo Gambaro who found a new knee bar that unlocked the first crux for her.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
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.
