Pietro Vidi completes Dark Matter (8C)
Pietro Vidi has done Power of Now (8B+),
Tigris sit (8B+) and Dark Matter (8B+) in Magic Wood. In the 8a ranking game, the 21-year-old Italian is #2.
โDark matter is the longest line in the darkness cave, around 40 moves. I mainly tried it to gain some fitness as itโs super crimpy and powerful and good training for resistant projects in the fall. I tried a bit with Dave [Graham] and we both agree is way harder than any other 8B+ in the cave wich all took me just a couple tries, whereas dark matter was was a bigger fight. It was originally graded 8B+/C but after some breaks we agree it is definitely 8C!
