After 35 sessions spread over a year and a half, Elias Iagnemma finally completed the First Ascent of The Big Slamm (V17/9A) in southern Italy. Divided into two hard 8A sections and capped with an 8B/+ stand start, the boulder demands impeccable technique under challenging humidity.
“It is incredible how it is a precise climb where every part of the body, shoe and flap of skin must deform perfectly in those minimal sandstone holds,” he said on his Instagram.
