Christian Core (IT)
I spent half of my life with training, and if I went back in time, I would do exactly the same thing again, with no regrets. I have the incredible fortune to be part of the Fiamme Oro (Golden Flame) team (the State Police group) and this allows me to train consistently every day. I have done many competitions, achieving the best possible results, and I've visted many places
around the world. The biggest luxury that our sport gives us is the possibility to travel around the world visiting beautiful and at times extremely remote places, often meeting people who share the same passion. What better way to fully live what we believe in. Climbing is amazing.

Goals for the Future:
Climb around the world as much as possible, whether it's bouldering, lead climbing or deep water soloing. Try few but worthwhile things: The quantity doesn't matter, it's the quality of the things I climb that counts.
Favourite Marmot Gear:
Variant Jacket, Midweight Crew, Power Stretch Glove, Long Hauler Duffle Bag, to name but a few. It would be impossible to narrow it down to just a few products! There are too many..
