16 Apr 9a for USA climbers

After the repetition of Kryptonite by Tommy Caldwell in 1999, Carlo Traversi continues his period of passion for the rope also repeating Bad Girls Club in Rifle, in Colorado, 9a. This was bolted by Joe Kinder in 2011 and declared "open project" for those who wanted to free it. So did Matty Hong in August 2011, followed shortly by Jonathan Siegrist and then by Kinder.
On Kriptonite has ventured even Daniel Woods and Jon Cardwell, scoring respectively eighth and ninth repetition of the first American 9a. Daniel said he was sad to close this chapter which took three days for the final assault and a half after several previous attempts; sad because a page of wonderful climbing had closed but motivated for next projects.
