Caminati's rope breaks over an arete - FA used three ropes
Michele Caminati, an Italian who is a very good gritstone climber, fell to the ground from ten meters after his rope snapped over an arete on The Elder Statesman. Luckily he just fractured his wrist and heel. Planet Mountain has made an interview. The video below shows how the rope breaks which should be a good lesson to the whole climbing community. FA Steve McClure did actually use three ropes on the FA as he was afraid of the rope against the arete.

8B+ FA by Caminati
Michele Caminati has made the FA by L' Ultimo dei Moicani, 8B+ in Monte Amiata. "My hardest climbing yet, the one that made me fail and despair so many times... will it also be so hard to other people? Don't know, maybe it's just not my style, but I liked it all."
