05 May Borna Cujic climbs Il maratoneta

On one of the many walls of Paklenica, in Croatia, there is a line by Maurizio "Manolo" Zanolla, climbed in 1987 and graded 8b+. For those who have repeated some of the routes of the great Manolo, they know what it is to climb up one of his route. The grade is not given, the style is unusual, it is not the "usual" climbing. No wonder then that in 28 years of history, Il Maratoneta has counted only occasional repetition. The last (sixth) comes from very young, only 17 years old, Borna Čujić.
In his blog, Borna said that many times as a child had passed under those 15 meters, below the jutting wall, amazed by the compactness of the wall, by the almost total outlets. Instead there are holds, tiny but arranged in perfect order and offer a fantastic climb, one that everyone dreams for a living.
Borna wanted to realize a dream that had been dreaming since childhood.
