‘El Maneton’ the latest news
News from the ‘El Maneton’ about their ascents at Erto, Covolo, Arco etc
We received a rapid review of what the El Maneton climbers have been up to of late. For those who dont know, the El Maneton sports group is composed of some of Italys most talented climbers, including Dino Lagni (current World Champion, Jenny Lavarda (Italian Champion), Luca Zavagnin, Davide Zavagnin, and Lisa Benetti. Dino Lagni made what is believed to be the first repeat of Klem Loskots bouldery "Ombre atomiche" 8a+ at Erto, before on-sighting "Grande Grimpe" 8a at Onore. Finally free from the competition circuit, Jenny Lavarda made a series of impressive redpoints including "Incantesimo" 8a at Covolo, "Gilgamesh" 8a at Muzzerone, "Polentin" 8a at a Pian Schiavaneis and "Gradodipendenti" 7c+ at Pueblo di Massone. Luca Zavagnin climbed "Dita di Pietro" 8a+ at Covolo, while his brother Davide flashed "Grande Grimpe" 8a at Onore 8a and freed "Shalom" 8b/8b+ at Covolo in just four attempts. Lisa Benetti has returned in style after giving birth to redpoint the steep "Dita di Pietro" 8a+ at Covolo and the intense "Acido Lattico" 7c at Erto. Thats all or now from El Maneton.
