14 Nov Stefano Carnati, first 9a

Stefano Carnati, young Italian climber of National Team, resolved his first 9a in Switzerland doing Coup of Grace in Sonlerto, a overhanging route opened by Dave Graham in 2005 and did by Gabriele Moroni also that 6 years later realized the second ascent.
On facebook Stefano writes: "I tried this route for the first time about one year ago and soon realized it was too hard for my level. 
This year I came back really motivated to try it again and after some tries I managed to figure out the moves, but linking them seemed impossible!
This afternoon my father drove me to Sonlerto. Conditions were good and I felt quite well. After a good attempt, on my third go I set on send-mode, climbed the first part quickly, took a long rest before the roof and went throught the last section until the final jug! I tried to calm down a bit and then climbed the final slab to the top of this big boulder! ‪#‎coupdegrace‬ was done!!!!"
