HUGE progress on SILENCE

Special 100k!!
My last trip in Flatanger in September/October 2023 gave me amazing feelings on Silence, the Vibes in the cave were extraordinary and climbing with many strong climbers helped me with my own project.

I have the feeling that he won't downgrade Silence...

[@biomorphic]

Silence is definitely a 9c, because the amount of time Adam spent on it first, and Ghisolfi after, proves the route is harder than 9b+. But B.I.G. will eventually get downgraded, because it can't take two trips to climb a 9c. Time will tell!

[@noiseforthealgorithm4668]

@@biomorphic not just harder. way harder then 9b+

[@kiefmanning7394]

I am surprised Adam hasn’t downgraded it yet

[@nicolacornolti]

@@kiefmanning7394Adam said that this climb was only first possible because it suited him very well and still gave it a 9c. I don’t think he’ll downgrade it

2 months from now we’re gonna get an unannounced mellow vid of him sending silence

[@mikej243]

Insane to see a Boulderer appear in a sport climbing crag

@@mikej243 Shawn also showed up at Excalibur a while back. I'm pretty sure a copy of Shawn gets spawned out of thin air whenever someone is close to doing something really hard.

[@Fred-oz3tw]

still more similar than lead and speed

[@climbermacleod]

Nice film and great to hear another climber say you can still find important improvements in the sequence after a long time trying the route!

[@mariesidman7905]

People forget how ahead of it's time this route is. Remarkable

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

Ondra's been ahead of his time for a decade and more. Even his FA of Terranova and grading it V16 might be soft.

[@olivierlessard6783]

I feel like the whole of the climbing community is behind you on this one Stefano. Everybody wants to see you succeed and send this. Do it. You can. We all know it. We're behind you.

[@biomorphic]

Ondra recently said it will take you at least 2 more years to climb Silence. Prove him wrong and send Silence in 2024!

[@HourRomanticist]

Yeah but he really means 2 more seasons. Depending on how long Stefano is in Norway each season will usually determine how long it takes someone to do something like this. If he only went 2 weeks/season, I could see that. Obviously this is monumental progress though, and it didn't seem like Stefano was this close before!

[@AnonymousCoward218]

Where did he say this?

[@biomorphic]

@@AnonymousCoward218 he said it when interviewed by "The Struggle Climbing Show" podcast, if I am not mistaken.

[@achjo123456]

I was there with my wife in September last year and we saw Sthephano personely on this route. At his first day we remain the only 2 more people in the cave. Just Stephano with Sara and us. It was quite great to see one of the world's best climber in the probably hardest route in the world. Of course later on it was even greater to see Jakob on 1 side and Stephano just right from him on the 2 side..:-) I talked to Stephano and Sara very shortly, just few words basically, but I have to say they are both very nice and kind people. Wish you a lot of luck Stephano on this route. Hopefully, we will meet there again..:-) Even 7a - 8a climber like me can enjoy Flatanger extremely, there is so many great routes in these grades..:-)

[@Strade8]

Simple rules for italian names: there are no h and ph sound is f. Stefano.

[@Inritus618]

I don't think I ever fully appreciated how horizontal the main crux is. It always looked like 30* overhanging, but in this video it looked nearly entirely horizontal.

[@thereasonabletroll68]

Shawn being there was the most unexpected thing lol I want to see all he was up to out there.

[@climbrR]

He was up the wall, obviously.

[@HourRomanticist]

Hopefully he'll make a video but probably not lol

[@Marnie-tw6vf]

There is bouldering in Flatanger as well

[@CedricPion]

That uncut sequence in the crux with the sun hitting the wall 😍

[@Alphare33]

Not a spoiler: the shots taken from under around and after 18:00 are incredible! Massive props to the film crew. Congrats on 100k also :)

[@trevorsesnic8162]

Right?! Really highlights the “wtf is he holding onto!?”

[@giotto4321]

Agreed, it's the first time I've seen the crux from that angle and it really shows how overhanging, complex and sustained that sequence is. Bravo!

[@TristanCleveland]

That cave is unreasonably large.

[@AtharvaVaidya25]

Congrats on 100K @Stefano! Time to send Silence now :D

[@steghiso]

Mario Kart x Climbing is THE lifestyle

[@tobiaswollmann6859]

When the text appeared that the static rope is after an 8b route i just thought if i would skip the first 8a part of my climbing projects i would be just rappeling down from the anchor 🤣So if silence drains you just drop by and we can rappel together maybe less satisfying but also less straining ;). Nice video as always cool vibes.

[@robson3954]

I loved the different perspectives/angles of the route, which truly show how hard it is!

[@christopherrogi7405]

You guys are the best! Seeing professional athletes not only competing against but also having fun with each other is amazing - together we can achieve more in this sport, keep at it! See you in Innsbruck! Cheers!

[@jenshinkelmann]

The sound, the cinematography, I don‘t know what it is but this edit was amazing.

[@akinaridate9233]

You got this stefano,, dont forget to enjoy the moment, sometimes in climbing when you too focus with idea to do the climb make you forget to enjoy the moment and proggres

[@vincechin3417]

This thing is so hard even though you know it’s possible. Adam’s ability to keep trying for days and weeks on end with nothing but his belief in the possibility of this section going is remarkable.

[@LongBoy.0]

Nuts that Rabatou just casually sends 9a+ and it's not even his real sport

[@highcurrent1125]

Climbing is not his sport?

[@mathewlynch583]

Bouldering is his thing but he's not new to lead climbing.

@@mathewlynch583 I know that, I'm just kidding.

@@highcurrent1125 At the highest levels, sport climbing and bouldering are different sports.

Watching Stefano trying hard on Silence before going to the gym to get an extra boost of motivation for my session

[@unclecaravan]

That full crux link was one of the most beautiful bits of climbing i've ever seen.

[@PePe-lp2xi]

Man he just unintentionally showed me the massive difference in talent between him and me (8a climber) when he said he just discovered that changing slightly the angle of his hand had a massive impact like that microbeta was what made my 7c-8a routes possible. Its so amazing to hear him say it unironically

[@johannbae4787]

Stefano! Thank you for these incredible insights. If you ever find yourself in a spot, where you don't know what to post anymore, I would highly appreciate to get some personal experiences regarding rest and the mental aspect, which has to be enormous while challenging yourself at Silence. Like how do you rest, how do you distance yourself from a project like this to not think about before going to sleep lol or how do you deal with the downs? Would be super interesting and helpful to know. Wishing you all the best!

[@jonashaas8143]

I really thought he‘d go like: „After climbing the crux, my next goal was to beat Jakob in Mario Kart“ and then the video would go off the rails, just showing their races for the next few minutes. Pretty disappointed that that is not what happened…
