04 Feb Adam Ondra in Varazze

 
Adam Ondra has spent four days in Varazze, with the intention of repeating "Gioia"  sit start 8C+, the famous and very hard boulder opened by Christian Core in Cava dei Druidi sector. 
 
Adam began with Gioia stand start, this also opened by Core and repeated by Niccolò Ceria and Gabri Moroni: Adam called it "magnificent" and confirmed the grade of 8B. 
He did  flash "Excalibur sit-start". 8A and  in a few attempts "Phantom" 7C.

Stopped by bad weather, Adam tried to find some dry problem, and did in quite difficult conditions "Alphacentaury" 8B, an overhanging powerful boulder  opened by Christian Core in the sector Terra di Mezzo and repeated  by Michele Caminati.
