\nYesterday afternoon Tito Traversa, 10 years (will be 11 next April 22), a promising young Italian climber, has finally managed the free ascent of\u00a0Sarsifal, 8b + at the Roof of Sarre in Valle d’Aosta. We say \u201cfinally\u201d because already at the end of October, the boy of Ivrea was very close to send it and knowing his\u00a0tenacity and talent, we tought that it should\u00a0be a quick job!.
\n\u00a0
\nThen\u00a0a long series of negative events \u00a0kept him away from the cliffs for almost three months. Finally back in good shape, Tito was again at work. After falling twice\u00a0at the last bolt, Tito got \u00a0a sprained ankle playing volleyball at school (and then they say that climbing is dangerous.. ;-).
\n\u00a0
\nResult: four days of forced stop. The last week end Tito has devoted to the preparation of the qualifying competition in the Italian championship (that he won). But we feel like to listen the end of the story with the words of his father Gianni:

\n"Wednesday Tito could not wait to finish the job with Sarsifal. We left at 4.20 PM from Ivrea, after school, to get to the roof to 17.30 and he started for the only possible try before it got dark but \u00a0fell again after the last hard\u00a0move for a dirty hold (with a pebble inside).
\n\u00a0
\nThen yesterday, after school, we went back to the roof: Tito, during the warming up, did a survey to check and clean the holds and then, after a half hour of rest, he left for good ride. He climbed quiet, precise and effective, as the day before, but this time there were no surprises and everything went well until the chain. "
\n
\nThe route is the combination of Sarre 2000, the exit of Parsifal L1 and Parsifal L2. As he had done for Sarsifal L1, Tito repeated the pitch following the original line in the connection between Parsifal and Sarre 2000, which is one of the toughest sections of the whole route. The traverse is what you see in the video
