Paul Robinson does Unison (8C)

Paul Robinson, who did his first 8C, out of 28, in 2008, has completed Unison (8C) in Brione. โ€One of the best!โ€

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried unison back in November of 2024. I was immediately blown away by its aesthetic and pure difficulty. That trip I was not able to complete it and vowed to return as soon as I could.

This February, I made my way back to Ticino with the goal of climbing Unison. I felt like I was in much better shape than the previous year and began making big links really quickly. Itโ€™s been a warm and humid spring so getting good conditions was tough but thankfully, I managed to find a window and send. Looking forward to enjoying my last week here in Europe and getting home back to Freak Show (8C) in Coal creek!
