Fiera de Primiero and Arco

Well it looks like Jamie did a great job in Fiera with the Blocs, "the best final of the year" according to Tim Hatch the Chief Judge. On the other hand the weather didnt really do the job. Rain, rain and more rain. So rather than stick around for the finals we headed off to Arco for some routes. One day at the classic and excellent Massone Crag and a day at a crag developed in 2006 called Grotosauro just up the road from Massone. After a swift warm up i headed up the line of the crag "The Winner" 7b+, an imense and pumpy outing for its 30m with a real sting in the tail. I also managed to OS Thunder Storm, 7c+ which was also a pretty long outing. Deffo a crag to visit as there is an excellent selection of technical routes in the 6b to 7a+ zone.
