Update Ghisolfi: climbed after the first key point Silence | Video

The Italian Stefano Ghisolfi reports on the progress in the 9c route Silence in a new video. Starting after the first crux, he was able to climb to the deflector.

It seems as if Stefano Ghisolfi chooses the same communication strategy as in the past Adam Ondra when projecting Perfecto Mundo. The Italian provides the climbing scene with a new video every week in which he reports on the progress of the route. In the latest video, he also reveals his strategy in terms of rest, climbing and training days.

While he still looked pretty helpless in the first video a week ago, he now manages to climb through without falling when he climbs to the deflector after the first crux. But of course, the way to the complete ascent is still far, because the first key point is tough. We remember Adam Ondra's brutal knee twister.
