Carlo Traversi sends Magic Line 8c+ trad
In other words, Carlo is one of the very few climbers that have sent world class grades in all three disciplines.
What about your tick list on big walls and DWS?
Hardest big wall would probably be Magic Mushroom 7c+ on the Eiger although I don’t really consider that noteworthy. More of a fun, not so difficult climb. I have been working on the Dihedral Wall on El Cap the last few winters but the weather hasn’t lined up for a proper attempt. I’ve done a bunch of DWS competitions but very little DWS on rock. Hoping to change that this Fall.
