โI immediately felt comfortable with all the moves of this route. It has no particular hard crux but a concentration of resistance to strength. After a good winter training I started trying TCT in early spring, I was thinking of a long-term project, but after a few weekends I found myself at the last movement and I didn't hesitate to reach the final edge.โ
It was put up by Stefano Ghisolfi in 2014 who wanted to dedicate the route to Tito Claudio Traversa who tragically died at age 12 as the quickdraws he had borrowed from a friend had been wrongly assembled. Tito was well-known in the climbing world having done his first 8b+ being 10-years-old.
