Do you remember your first multipitch? Watch one of the planet’s strongest sport climbers tick his first one here.
Stefano Ghisolfi had never climbed a multipitch route when he showed up at the Verzasca Dam for Red Bull Dual Ascent.
I repeat: Stefano Ghisolfi had never climbed a multipitch route before Red Bull Dual Ascent.
In the Oct. 29 head-to-head climbing competition, he and his partner would speed climb a six-pitch route bolted to the 590-foot dam.
Skip to a minute in, when Ghisolfi tells Yosemite fixture Cedar Wright he’s never climbed a multipitch, and stay tuned for what Ceedy says into the camera right after Ghisolfi walks away.
I’ll let you take it from here.
