Will Bosi FAโs Kyanite (8C)
William Bosi has done the first ascent of Kyanite (8C) in Valle Bavona. The 26-year-old sent the Dave Graham project in only two sessions during a film project that also involved Giuliano Cameroni. In total, Bosi did six boulders 8B+ to 8C+ during the two weeks trip and he is #1 in the VL ranking game. (c) Robbie Meade
โKyanite is a left-hand version of Axinite (8B+). You start in the same place and climb the initial moves of Axinite before breaking out left through a very steep roof. It is about double the moves of Axinite before returning you to the top-out of the original line, but not before a desperate Gaston deadpoint move to rejoin the original line.โ
