Earlier today, Cristian Brenna lost his life on the Monte Biaina ridge. The Italian was one of the world's most talented climbers of the 1990s and early 2000s.
On 20 November Cristian Brenna made the first repeat of “Is not always Pasqua”, Italy's hardest trad route, first climbed by Mauro Calibani in October 2002, and graded E9 7a.
