Italian professional climber Laura Rogora climbed numerous hard lines during her recent stay in Slovenia, including three 9a's.
At the end of the year and the start of the new year, Laura Rogora a clear statement: I'm fit! Within a week, she climbed three 9a routes and five routes in the 5c/+ range without a rest day. Given the short length of stay, she didn't have much time to plan the individual routes. She needed one to three attempts for each of the 8c/+ routes, and it didn't take much longer for the three 8as either.
What a trip. This was the most successful climbing trip of my life!
