Canada: Cineplex sends
Israel Blanco and Mauro Bubu Bole make the first and second repeat of The Game M13 at the Cineplex Cave in Canada, while Anna Torretta repeats Musashi M12.
As reported a few days earlier, Mauro Bubu Bole, Israel Blanco, Anna Torretta and Andrea Gallo are currently dry-tooling in Canada. After having repeated Will Gadd's Musashi at the Cineplex, Bole and Blanco set their sights on The Game, currently the only mixed route to be graded M13. Israel Blanco repeated Ben Firth's monster creation last Tuesday and Bole made the third ascent a day later. Anna Torretta, not to be left out, made the first female ascent of Musashi, which Blanco subsequently flashed. After having ticked all there is to tick, the trio decided to change the rules of this "no leash" game: instead of resting on ice axes and heel hooking on handles ad infinitum, they chose to climb clean so as to add some credibility to this sport. The result: Musashi proved to significantly harder and both men fell a few meters from the chain. The saga continues...
