The Cores are a special family: Christian was bouldering champion, Stella is the Italian women’s champion and just over a year ago they become the parents of twin daughters. Their story is linked to the woods above Varazze and began long ago, when as children they first approached the world of climbing and competitions. Constantly immersed in the magic of the woods on Mount Beigua and with the jagged coast on the horizon, Christian gives us an insight into his inner and sporting life, telling us about the difficulties and sacrifices necessary to become the first world champion and allowing us to get to know this environment made up of rock, perspiration and magnesite.
