Niccolò Ceria's beautiful bouldering booty across Italy

Between December 2018 and January 2019 Niccolò Ceria climbed throughout Valle d'Aosta, Liguria, Piedmont and Basilicata, successfully repeating some of the hardest blocs in the region but above all discovering his own. This relentless desire to explore and discover is undoubtedly one of Ceria’s prime traits, and down at Pietra del Toro in Basilicata he stumbled across "one of the most beautiful problems I’ve ever cleaned." Called Curry, this pristine traverse is located on the top of the hill and was clean with local hotshot Michele Rubano. "It's much bigger than it looks in the photos" the 25-year-old told planetmountain.com "And even more beautiful!"
