Stefano Ghisolfi Sends The Full Journey 5.15b
Share
Stefano Ghisolfi has shared footage of his successful climb of The Full Journey 5.15b (9b) in Spain, completed earlier this year.
“The Full Journey was a success!” Ghisolfi stated. “I struggled on the first section (The Journey, 9a+) and fell a few times before reaching the anchor. Yesterday, I finally clipped it and decided to push on for The Full Journey (9b). To my surprise, I sent it in one go! First 9b of the year done—on to the next!”
First climbed by Alex Megos in October 2022, with Jorge Díaz-Rullo’s second ascent in March 2023, Ghisolfi’s climb marks the third ascent. The 35-meter route on overhanging Margalef limestone features two equally challenging sections split by a jug rest.
Ghisolfi, a top-tier sport climber, has four 5.15c routes under his belt: Perfecto Mundo, Change, Bibliography, and Excalibur. Despite spending much of 2024 attempting Adam Ondra’s Silence 5.15d from late August to early December, he also sent seven 5.14d routes, including three first ascents.
