Cavalo de Troia (9a) FA by Felipe Camargo
”My hardest first ascent in Brazil so far! Incredible route...really steep and physical 8c/+ to a taxing no hands kneebar into a powerful v10 (7C+) boulder problem to the anchor!”
Can you give us a few more details about this route?
It’s an old project that Enzo Oddo and Gabri Moroni bolted in Brazil in 2013. It took me about seven days.
Is there more left for you to do in Brazil?
[Yes] Gonna focus on Brazil this year and try some hard projects here!!
