| Luca Giupponi had an impressive weekend with a double “third ascent” at Arco di Trento and Pian de Shiaveneis. On Saturday 19 May he made the third ascent of "Mike Jordan", 8B/8B+ at Pueblo di Massone. Freed by Francois Legrand last summer, this 20 move route immediately to the right of "Twingo" is similar in style to "Underground", even if much shorter. On Sunday he changed both crag and style and redpointed "Superpolentin" 8b at Pian de Schiaveneis in the Dolomites. This extension to Polentin finishes after an impressive 55 moves and had previously been climbed by Luca 'Canon' Zardini and Martin Elsler. Luca Giupponi current form is no secret: a onth ago he climbed "Missing Link"8B+ at Osp, Slovenia, and in April freed "The last way" 8c+ at Erto. > Pian Schiavaneis - Climbing beneath the Sella > Luca Giupponi frees "The last way" (05/04/2000) |  Luca Giupponi photo F.
