Gioia move by move demonstrated by Christian Core...
When you hear the word Varazze, a beautiful bouldering area springs to mind lost in the forest above that small village in NE Italy, discovered and developed by the tireless Marco Bagnasco. And obviously another local climber springs to mind, namely Christian Core who after having climbed almost all the hardest in the area, freed his "Gioia", a problem graded 8C+ which finally brought this area into the international limelight. Here, together with his partner Stella Marchisio and their twins, Christian reveals some of the fascination of this Italian magic wood!
