8 Anni Dopo 8c+ FA by Matteo Gambaro (45)

Matteo Gambaro, who just before the lockdown did an 8c+ FA in Albenga has made one more, 8 Anni Dopo.

"In 2012 I made the FA Of "Blow" 8c. (c) Andrea Gallo. In 2015 I made the FA of the right path called "The return of the Jedi" 8b which has a difficult section at the top. After the rains my most difficult projects were wet so I decided to try a link between the two lines. The first hardest part of the 8c and the latest hardest part of the 8b. It was challenging to reclimb it eight years after "Blow" also because a hold and support for important foot broke. It was very nice to be back on the road with a new motivation!"
