The Story of Two Worlds 8C by Luis Gerhardt

Luis Gerhardt reports on Insta that he has done The Story of Two Worlds 8C in Cresciano, which would be his first. (c) Felix Hoffman "I started trying it back in January but can’t tell exactly how many sessions I needed because I only tried at the weekends. So maybe around 8 - 10 sessions. The key thing was definitely the struggle with the conditions. Also did it two times in a row because I slightly touched the tree in my first try at 0.30 am. After that I felt pretty confident and was able to climb it half an hour later." The Story of Two Worlds was put up by David Graham in 2005 and the name related to the grade inflation at that time. "The new standard" of 8C was David's message which in practice down graded several hard core boulders in especially Ticino. Although many thought it was super hard for 8C in 2005, it is today considered a soft entry 8C with 14 repeats. It is also one of the most famous best boulderers out there.
