Laura Rogora's sensational seven-day spell in Slovenia
At the start of the year we reported that Laura Rogora had sent two 9a's at Mišja Peč, Sanjski par extension on 31 December 2024 and Martin Krpan on New Year's Day. Obviously the 23-year-old Italian isn't one to rest on her laurels, on the contrary, she continued her slay at one of Slovenia's most important crags and in seven days she amassed an unprecedented list of redpoints.
On 2 January, after only six attempts, she checked in with the first female ascent of another 9a, Xaxid Hostel, while for the 8c+ Hysteria and Človek Ne Jezi Se she needed three and two attempts respectively. Add to these the 8c's Strelovod and Talk is Cheap.
Rogora's ticklist is truly impressive and requires further clarification: firstly, the booty came after seven continuous days of climbing, without a single rest day... And secondly, what she accomplished at Misja is miles out of the ordinary. Miles.
