The Italian Stefano Ghisolfi is once again in Margalef for a long time to climb in a project of Chris Sharma. By the way, he committed Gancho Perfecto (9a / +).
One could almost think that Stefano is on the heels of Chris Sharma, because Gancho Perfecto The sector La Finestra near Margalef was first managed by Chris Sharma ten years ago. The route was repeated the same year by Ramón Julián Puigblanqué, followed by Adam Onda's ascent to 2011. The recent commemoration of the Sharma route is now home to Stefano Ghisolfi in passing, as the following video shows. Actually, he returned to Margalef for another Chris Sharma route: Perfecto Mundo, See below.

Mega project by Chris Sharma
For Perfecto Mundo it is a major project by the American Chris Sharma. These days, the route is being visited by three of the best climbers in the world: Stefano Ghisolfi, Alex Megos and the opener (not yet climber) himself, Chris Sharma. The level of difficulty will probably be 9b +. The following words from Stefano Ghisolfi show how hard the route is: “Margalef has a lot of routes to offer, and Perfecto Mundo could be the hardest of all, that's why it is my choice. I already spent four days on it and still feel very very very hard. I know it could be not only a winter project, maybe a year project or even a life project (probably it will), but I feel ready for this challenge and I know I can be back home empty handed after all the winter on this route . I don't care, I will do it, it doesn't matter how long it will take. "We just say:" The race is on! "
