In April of this year, the Val Bavona received a new hard boulder line: Primitivo (8c). The first ascent went to the account of Jimmy Webb. Now the video is online.
Giuliano Cameroni, Jimmy Webb, Isabelle Faus and Daniel Woods, They all planned the Boulder Primitivo. A successful celebration of the stand-start (8b) succeeded the first three. Then they went one step further and added a low start (8c) to the boulder. The start of the low-start took first Jimmy Webb (FA), followed by Giuliano.
For Giuliano, the ascent on the night of the ascent was a surprise, as he himself says: “I had a tape on my finger and actually only wanted to try it for training purposes. And then I stood on the block. "
