Cavalo de Troia (9a) FA by Felipe Camargo

Felipe Camargo has made the FA of Cavalo de Troia (9a) in . The Brazilian has previously sent 9b and boulders up to 8C. (c) Fabio Moreira

โ€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!โ€

Can you give us a few more details about this route?
Itโ€™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!!
