Until there is no more boundary. Because that's how it happens. Millimeter by millimeter. Centimeter after centimeter. The line must be studied, assimilated, earned under the skin, in every fiber of the body. In every corner of the mind. Days and days of attempts, travels, indoor and outdoor training, waiting. Defeats and progress. Doubts and certainties. Until that boundary nullifies itself. Mind and body. Gravity and fluidity. Plastic and rock. Everything connects. Opposites attract. He is the line. The line is him.
Stefano Ghisolfi is a great route worker. And that's how he climbs. In a process of millimetric precision, hold after hold, block after block. And that's how he takes us inside them. In the work in progress of Silence 9c; in Change 9b+, Bibliographie 9b+, Perfecto Mundo 9b+, and Excalibur 9b+: the world's most difficult routes narrated by Stefano in a constant dialogue with them.
And still. His Piedmontese roots. His debut at the Aosta Valley Tetto di Sarre. The transition to the professional world with entry into the Fiamme Oro Moena Sports Group shared with his sister Claudia, the second Italian, after Laura Rogora, to complete a 9a line. And finally, the long journey between victories and defeats in international competition circuits, chasing the overall Lead World Cup title achieved in 2021.
A great story of love and humility. Of friendships, discoveries, and growth. Where mistakes and difficulties have been a reason for new challenges, a ground for confrontation and enrichment. Leading the Turin athlete to be what he is today: a champion at the forefront of both indoor and outdoor world sport climbing.
