In the spring, Dave Graham added another tough test piece to his favorite bouldering habitat – Val Bavona: Celestite (8C+). You shouldn't miss the video of the first ascent.
Hardly any other climber has climbed as many difficult boulders in Ticino as Dave Graham. And even as he gets older, the strong American doesn't seem to get tired of tackling difficult new paths - on the contrary. At the end of March he achieved the first ascent in Val Bavona Celestial, with 8C+ one of the most difficult lines in the valley.
