				Cristian Brenna has established himself as one of the world's top sports climbers, competing at the highest levels and making swift repeats of some of the hardest routes around. We decided we could no longer afford to leave him unnoticed. Our idea was that of a theoretical journey from the crag to competitions, via isolation areas and intense training sessions, technique and stamina. And who better to have as a guide? Cristian is crazy about climbing and he accompanied us enthusiastically, tirelessly, in between one coffee and the next cake. This is the result: a brief profile based on his thoughts, followed by an interview and an (extremely impressive) curriculum vitae - don't miss it, because it shows just how good he really is…
