The Roman leg of the Salewa Rock Show proved a great success last Saturday. A major climbing event had been missing from the capital for a number of years and the climbers from all over Central Italy flocked enthusiastically to this meeting. Over 150 climbers and spectators ensured that the competition was a success and this came about thanks to ASD Vertical park, Climberstore run by Annalisa Boccanera and Salewa.

The Roman stage was a success not only because of the quality of the problems and the spectacular final, set by local climbing instructor Roberto "Limetta" Podio, but above all because of the great festive atmosphere . The competition was won by Sebastiano Labozzetta who, in flashing the three final problems, overturned the Semifinal results by beating Damiano Capulli and Matteo Cittadini to receive a standing ovation. Arianna Russo won the women's event after having shared provisional first with 3 other athletes in the Semis. The Under 16 category was won by Davide Di Santo and Laura Rogora who, in doing so, confirms once again that she is one of the strongest young climbers in Italy.

"We're really pleased to have hosted this great event, the spectators were fantastic and their energy could be felt during the entire event. Vertical Park was founded a few years and has already become transformed into one the leading climbing walls in Central Italy. We would like to say a special thanks to all those who helped us, in particular to Salewa for having given us the opportunity to host this stage."
