Catalan Witness The Fitness 8C by Felipe Camargo

Felipe Camargo, one of the guys who has put Brazil on the climbing map, has done the third ascent of Chris Sharma's Catalan Witness The Fitness 8C. (c) Marcos Costa "Super happy! The boulder is awesome and I didn't expect to do it in just four days. I've been training a lot of roof climbing! I'm making a movie about only roof climbs! So this year I will be going around trying some hard roofs around the world! The wheel of life, Andrada's Corazon de ensueรฑo in China and In search of time lost in Magic Woods! But first, it dries, is my project in Rodellar! A link into Los Inconformistas which is like an 8c into the 9a! But if it doesn't dry I might just climb in Margalef and Oliana."
