Perfecto Mundo | Stefano Ghisolfi climbs 9B+

Perfecto Mundo follows The North Face climber Stefano Ghisolfi as he takes on one of sport climbing’s most notorious modern testpieces: a brutal 30-metre line in Catalonia graded 9B+. Built around months of training and 32 hard days on the route, the film captures the obsession, patience, and precision required to even imagine success on a climb where, at times, a single middle finger can be the difference between progress and the fall. What makes this worth watching is how vividly it distills a world-class ascent into its essential ingredients: doubt, repetition, problem-solving, and the razor-thin margin between failure and a “perfect” go. In under six minutes you get a front-row seat to elite-level preparation and the raw, unforgiving reality of trying at your absolute limit—ending with the kind of send that earns a place in climbing’s smallest club.

Welcome to Perfecto Mundo – an extreme 30-metre Catalonian route that defines the limits of sport climbing. It’s a brutal and unforgiving line that, in parts, allows the use of nothing more than a single middle finger. And it’s a challenge that only a tiny and select group of the world’s greatest climbers has ever conquered. On 7 December 2018, The North Face’s Stefano Ghisolfi earned his membership to this elite club too, sending a perfect repetition of this 9b+ punisher after a solid 32 days at the crag, a year of training, trial, error… and a lot of intense preparation for his all-important middle finger. #NeverStopExploring
