Primitivo 8C by Dave Graham (40)
Dave reports on Insta that he last month did Primitivo 8C in Valle Bavona. "One of the most technical sequences I have ever accomplished ๐
" As always, he shares the detailed beta and the full process making you eager to watch the video coming out next week.
The 40-year-old has been one of the very best climbers for 20+ years and he has been featured on 8a probably 150 times. The great story is actually that he has had great progress in the last years. In 2016, after having done countless 8C's, he did his first 8C+, out of two. Two years ago, he did his first 9b route. The wizard is also known for his strong opinions and in 2005 he made the FA of The Story Of 2 Worlds (8C). The name refers to the different grading scales at the time and in practice, this classical FA stopped the grade inflation.
Two months ago, Epic TV made a great 48 hours portrait of one of the most psyched climbers out there.
