All Italian climber Stefano Ghisolfi needed was two rest days in order to finally come to grips with One Slap, the new 9b Adam Ondra freed at Laghel, Arco, last week. The route is the direct start to One Punch, a 9a+ freed after 10 days of attempts by Ghisolfi at the start of May.

Ghisolfi needed another four days to make the first repeat of One Slap and the 24-year-old has now climbed three 9b’s, after his 2015 first ascent of Lapsus a Andonno and his January 2017 repeat of First Round First Minute at Margalef in Spain. At present only two climbers have managed to redpoint routes harder than 9b, namely Chris Sharma and Adam Ondra.
