<b>Vandeputte repeats 'Tonino 78'</b>

Antoine Vandeputte, still only 18, has made the 3rd ascent of Mauro Calibani's Tonino 78, 8C+, at Meschia. Antoine has done just one boulder harder than 8A+ previously, the original sit-down, Leonardo assis, hard 8B+, in September last year (it was 8B+ before an important hold broke and might now be harder). Tonino 78 adds a five-move 7C+ start to this problem. Tonino 78 is "only" around 15 moves long, making it the shortest problem above 8C in the world. Antoine suggests 8C.
