TTT 9a by Stéfanie Lo Piccolo (37)

Stéfanie 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 “Tango Tonik” at Déversé and several others lines in the 8c range. The shape was back. In the fall of 2021, I saw Petr Blaha try “TTT” 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.
