For many climbers it is an unattainable goal, for some a lifelong dream. For Stefano Ghisolfi, it was a „normal“ route that you can tick off as you pass through. So Stefano gets himself a quick (the 30th *) ascent of the Güllich classic „Action Directe“ on the Waldkopf in the Frankenjura. Before that, Stefano tries his hand (unfortunately unsuccessfully) at one of the most difficult routes in the world, „Silence“. The route, graded [9c] by Adama Ondra, is still waiting for a repeater.
„A quick stop on the way home from Norway, it was worth to spend few days on this historical masterpiece. It is mind blowing to think that it was climbed in ’91 from the visionary Wolfgang Güllich, I’m grateful to be able to climb this piece of history of our sport. Thanks to Andy, @malik.schirawski And @sara_grip for the motivation on the send day.“
Even if it is perhaps not the first 9a route in the world, see Buster Martin who was able to climb both routes. Climbing the Action Directe is still an outstanding achievement
