Born and grew up in the Dolomites, I began climbing at the age of five in the mountains surrounding Cortina d’Ampezzo. After early success in youth competitions I focused on outdoor sport climbing and quickly progressed through the grades: first 7c at ten, first 8a at twelve, first 8b/8b+ at thirteen, first 8c at fifteen. On the 18th of March, 2015 I completed the historic ascent of the first italian 9a.

Today I continue to push my limits on the most iconic crags of the Alps, Slovenia, Spain and France while remaining deeply connected to my home crags in the Dolomites.
