Biotronic 8B+ Boulder | worked 22nd May 2016
First ascent.

Biotronic has been very important for my trip, my season and probably for my climbing life in general. It is rare to find a hard project to work, with only the holds you need, with compact rock and, more important, something you can enjoy from the first go until the last one. If you also consider it might be one of the best line of the area, all the feelings were going to be positive this time. [2]

Mr Blobby 8A+ Boulder | worked 2023
Second ascent.

Second ascent isn’t fully correct without an exhaustive gloss. In this case I wasn’t able to repeat it in the same style that Dan did it. In fact, Dan impressively put it up in one single day (cleaning included!) without spotters and with one single big pad. The style I used was way more conservative and I’d be lying without explaining what I needed: A deeper clean, 8 big pads, 2 spotters and some top rope tries on each working session. [1]
