Giuliano Cameroni's ingenious first ascent in the Val Bavona

Big words we are used to from American climbers. Swiss are more restrained. The latest creation by Giuliano Cameroni let him choose unusually rude words.

"My proudest FA and all in all the best problem I have ever done," he comments on the first ascent of Grande gigante gentile (8a). The boulder is a 12-meter giant in perfect Bavona granite. “The exit is still in the 6c area and I was mentally prepared for it,” says Giuliano.
