Hazel Grace 8C/+ FA by Giuliano Cameroni

Giuliano Cameroni has done yet another stunning FA, Hazel Grace 8C/+ in Gottardo, which adds an obvious sit start to the 8B+ stand he made the FA of in 2017. The 24-year-old running the Mellow Youtube channel has previously done eight FA 8C and harder. Here is part of his Insta comments: "First day of the season, what a day! A huge mountain of snow was surrounding the bloc, making it magical. Conditions were perfect and no pressure was involved. Checked out the moves, rested for half an hour and climbed it first try. Great moment where everything connected."


How many sessions did it take and what about the slash grade?
I tried it for a long time last summer and the summer before, probably around 30 sessions in total. This year I felt stronger, conditions were perfect and surprisingly it connected first go from the start. Took so long to figure out a very tricky heel hook and all the positions needed to stay on the wall. Really hard to give an opinion about the grade because there is a super tricky heel hook. Physically it felt 8C but technically 8C+. Could be both, let's see what other repetitors think.
