Stefano Ghisolfi is Ready to Fail

The video of Italian climber Stefano Ghisolfi and his quest to repeat the first 9c in the world, 'Silence' at Flatanger in Norway, and the world's first 9A boulder problem, 'Burden of Dreams' at Lappnor in Finland.

"In order to achieve big goals, I must accept the possibility of failure." This is Stefano Ghisolfi's attitude every time he starts a new project. It's done him well so far, as demonstrated by various 9b+ redpoints and his win of the 2021 Lead World Cup. Now though the Italian has raised the bar even higher: his aiming to repeat the first 9c in the world, Silence at Flatanger in Norway, and the world's first 9A boulder problem, Burden of Dreams at Lappnor in Finland.
