Laura Rogora Sends The Bow 5.15a
And a list of her hardest sends up to 5.15b
Laura Rogora has sent Stefano Ghisolfis’s The Bow 5.15a in Padaro, Italy, for the route’s second ascent. Ghisolfi made the first ascent earlier this year. It’s a linkup of two existing routes that he first sent in 2017: Fine di un’epoca 5.13+ and Omen Nomen 5.14d.
“Quite impressive, probably one of the best female achievements ever,” said Ghisolfi on 8a.nu. “I think the route is extremely hard. I think, she used similar beta on the crux with some adjustments for her height. I also gave her some advice and betas.”
In July, the Olympic-qualifed athlete won the Briancon World Cup ahead of Janja Garnbret.
The 19-year-old Italian crusher moved to Arco earlier this year to be closer to hard climbs. This year, she is one of the world’s most impressive sport climbers over the past year with over 10 routes from 5.14+ to 5.15b.
