2021 was one of the best years for Italian climbing pro Stefano Ghisolfi. He not only won the overall World Cup in lead climbing, but crowned his season with the first repeat of Bibliography, which was only the second 9c worldwide at the time.
Adam Ondra pulled some difficult routes before the turn of the year, including Taurus (9b), Kout pikle (9a +) and The Lonely Mountain (9b). Ondra in particular raves about the difficult Taurus route.
Stefano Ghisolfi manages the first ascent of a difficult route in his home area of Erebor near Eremo di San Paolo, Italy. He carefully suggests 9b as the level of difficulty.
