The Val Bavona in Ticino has been the playground of the international bouldering elite for years. In the recent past, the French Charles Albert, the Japanese Daisuke Ichimiya and Giuliano Cameroni moved out and opened new blocks.
While the Ticino bouldering area Cresciano is struggling with parking and access problems, the reports from the Val Bavona far more positive. New lines are opened almost every week and the local usually mixes Giuliano Cameroni With. So in this case too.
Together with the barefoot climber Charles Albert and Daisuke Ichimiya he spent a lot of time - sometimes under difficult conditions - in the north-west of Ticino and opened new lines.
