Will Smith has joined the 9a club by climbing Era Vella today
Haydn climbed Kabaah yesterday in what must be the latest ascent in the year of this route yet. Very impressive to watch, a very smooth ascent!
Great photo from 1981! How old is Manalo now?
On 7 December 2016 Maurizio Manolo Zanolla, belayed by Daniele Lira shortly before his 59th birthday, made the second ascent and first repeat of Il Mattino dei Maghi, the legendary climb first ascended in 1981 by Manolo at the crag Totoga (Pale di San Martino, Dolomites) and, until now, unrepeated.
A few days ago Manolo did the first repeat of his own route Il Mattino dei Maghi, that he opened in Totoga in 1981 at 7c+... Mindblowing. http://www.planetmountain.com/en/news/climbing/manolo-climbing-and-il-mattino-dei-maghi-first-repeat-in-35-years.html

Not quite sure 8c constitutes as significant haha! But I'll take it and run though!
