| On 8 March Luca Zardini climbed the final pitch that was missing from his Erto repertoire: "Ombre Atomiche", an 8a+ boulder problem freed by Klem Loscot a few years ago. As Zardini puts it: “Ombre is a very particular route. Even though it’s four meters high and has five bolts, it all boils down to six extremely hard moves. That’s why it’s given a boulder grade. I tried Ombre Atomiche after a month dedicated to bouldering, with two trips to the Cubo in Valle d'Aosta where I climbed four 7c. I then tried the moves much more seriously than during the few sporadic attempts in the past. Last Wednesday I got really close to sending the problem but failed. Then, after a rest day, I topped out with a shout of elation. Great!” Canon > Zardini flashes Shalom 8b+ (10/10/2001) > Zardini frees "The Big Mother" 8c+/9a at Erto (04/08/2000) |
