Two 8c+'s by Matteo Menardi (18)
Matteo Menardi, who did his first 9a two years ago, has done two 8c+'s in Fonzaso, Drumtime and Il Gladiatore.
What are you projects/plans, what about training and comps?
Probably I will come back to Fonzaso, because there is still one stunning line to climb; otherwise I'm going to try some unfinished projects closer to my home. I'm also looking forward to climb in the Osp Cave!
Because I like climbing outside, I train climbing on hard routes. I also train indoor and, when I do not have the possibility to lead climbing, I enjoy training on a small board in my house. I will climb outdoor and, afterwards, I'm going to decide about the training for the competitions.

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.
