22 years of dedication • 9a redpoint • 8b onsight • 562+ routes graded 8a and above
Born and grew up in the Dolomites, I began climbing at the age of five in the mountains surrounding Cortina d’Ampezzo. After early success in youth competitions I focused on outdoor sport climbing and quickly progressed through the grades: first 7c at ten, first 8a at twelve, first 8b/8b+ at thirteen, first 8c at fifteen. On the 18th of March, 2015 I completed the historic ascent of the first Italian 9a.
Today I continue to push my limits by setting myself ambitious goals, within, above and beyond sport climbing. Climbing as a sport always took and gave a lot at the same time. My last setback results from a bike fall earlier this year. While I am still not 100% recovered, I am now planning and building a new chapter. Always aiming high from the Alps, where my heartbeat and the winds set on the same frequency.
