8a's by an eight years old

Tito Traversa, 8 years old and 131 cm, has bagged his first two 8a's, La diretta Basola and Faith. It is just 9 months that he sent what he thinks was his first hard route, a 7b+ at Fachiamo. Via his dad, Tito said with Faith he experienced "a fantastic feeling. I set off convinced, climbed smoothly, the moves went well one after the next and suddenly I was at the chain. I remember the other climbers clapping and one man in particular said Chapeau!ย” Source: planetmountain. Foto: T&G photo.
