  • In 2021 he won the Lead World Cup - a competitive indoor climbing circuit - and climbed Bibliographie, at the time one of the world's two 9c rock climbing routes. He is part of the new generation of climbers who found their footing in climbing gyms before transitioning to real rock and is regarded as one of the best sport climbers in the world.
    Stefano Ghisolfi's 2021 season was one for the ages. Watch "Beyond" to relive it and find out more about the past, present and future of climbing.

      I kept distorting my face into more and more disgusted grimaces as he kept going towards the top. Most of these...things I would not have identified as "holds".

    As a climber that likes short powerful routes, the excalibur is definetely my favourite of the hard lines, its just so special - a free standing rock which seems easy enough to conquer, but from one side, you get a 12 metre 25 degree moonboard problem on the yellow crimpers all the way up. Something magical about how slick and straight that face is.

    • @lucaa4480

    • @Bennici

      I don't think so, no. There are only a handful of people who have climbed 9b+ at all, and most of them don't have as big a ticklist in that 9b and up range. I think Megos is kind of close, but 3rd on that list. Followed by Schubert/Bouin/Sharma, probably.
