First 8c+ by Traversi

Carlo Traversi (20), who, 30 years after the FA, made the 2nd ascent of Trice, 8A+, and has bouldered as hard as 8B, has now turned his attention from bouldering to routes. The result is quite stunning, or what do you think about: Friday - Simply read, first 8b Saturday - Benign intervention, first 8c Sunday - Girl talk, first 8c+. (It should be noted that Ethan Pringle also did it last week and put it in as an 8c.)
