Weekend Stoker: Laura Rogora Sends 5.14d at 14

It’s the last weekend of 2018, so be sure to climb safe and sneak in a few last gym sessions before the New Year. The Italian lead and bouldering championship title holder, 14-year-old Laura Rogora, has taken the Italian climbing scene by storm.

This video catches up with Rogora in 2017 to see what drives someone so young to push herself so hard.

Watch her become the first Italian female, and one of the youngest in the world, to climb 5.14d with her send of Grandi Gesti, a massive 40-metre roof in Sperlonga, Italy.

Great weekend spent working on a link in Ferentillo?? The route is still a project but yesterday I felt it possible? ? @mrcmonkey . . . #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #picoftheday #loveclimbing #climbforlife #escalade #escalada #grimper #klettern #montura #wildclimb #campcassin #italy #rome #bomber #instagood #instalike #instagram @climbskinspain @agripp_climbingholds @montura_official @terracielomare
