@@skyrimguy32423 while not the hardest grade wise, it’s the biggest logistical nightmare by a mile. Not to mention camping on the wall for multiple days take a toll on you mentally.
The biggest lesson in this video is that even if you're a strong climber, hiring a guide to instruct you through technical stuff like anchor systems and rope management is never a bad idea.
It's humbling to see Stefano getting a bit of a workout on this route. Every pitch is well within his ability, but the extra mental exertion, endurance, altitude, etc. adds up. Something to think about before attempting any serious multipitch.
This hand/counting game is also from Abruzzo!!! I grew up in the US but my father always tells me stories about my grandfather and his brothers playing this game! I have never heard anyone say it is from the north before, thank you for sharing!
Nothing to do with that. Come around Arco, where Stefano lives, you'll see plenty walls to go multipitch climbing. Stop this USA vs Europe nonsense, we all love the same sport, let's cheer Stefano for his first real multipitch instead.
@@adaml2987 Don't write nonsense. He dedicated his life to competitions and super hard grades becoming one of the best athletes in history. People do multipitch in Europe.
I climbed only once a multipitch, it was up to 6a+, which was the maximum grade I could onsight at the time. The guy who was with me could climb 7b max (worked). It was 12 pitches, in France, and we managed to climb 9, then it was late and we had to descend. He was leading the most difficult, and I was leading the easiest, probably 3 out of 9 we did. Spit anchors were very far from each other, so it was even more scary. At the end of the day I was exhausted, but it was an amazing experience. Much harder than yours, considering you climbed 9b+, and at the time I could possibly climbed 6b, since I was onsighting some of the 6a/6a+ I tried. My climbing partner really pushed my limits that day.
Your partner bringing you on a 12 pitch climb for your first multipitch when you climb 6a+ max sounds a bit foolish. Did you have a conversation about it afterwards?
It was a Saturday. We travelled to France (from Italy) on Friday night and we slept in a tent inside an abandoned gallery. I didn't sleep at all, it was too noisy, and I was cold, probably also the tension. When we got back, we had dinner in a French restaurant and he told me: "You did good today, it was not as easy as I thought, where do we go tomorrow?" I told him: "Tomorrow I am going to sleep all day, I am exhausted." I do agree with you that the route was really challenging for me. We went climbing together a couple of times before, just classic sport routes, then he taught me a couple of knots to prepare me for multipitch. I do agree, I wasn't ready for that, but I managed. I trusted him because he had a lot of experience. That was my one and only multipitch, because then I broke my collar bone playing football (soccer), and I had to gave up climbing for years. Anyway, this was the route: www.camptocamp.org/routes/56831/it/roche-colombe-via-le-temple-du-soleil @@MtJochem
such beauty! I would love to see more of this. I like it when creators/pros show new areas that us normies could potentially climb and challenge ourselves with
Funny to hear them talk that way about 6c+. Also about the route being pumpy. I guess it shows that those grades are still hard and never feel completely like nothing even when you are on a whole other level.
Those sweeping shots make the Dolomites look like (beautiful) piles of kitty litter, must've been heady! Good thing you climb the steep stuff, less choss!
"Dolomitiche", Alessandro Beber's video series is very well done and has some beautiful shots of historical routes climbed by those who did the first ascents (many years ago), all while telling crazy stories about the origins of sports climbing. It's amazing to watch and an incredible collection of the history of alpinism!
It sounds a lot like 6c and 6c+ are like YDS 5.9 and 5.9+ on trad routes. my friend once hilariously ordered the grades in YDS in ascending order: 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.8+, 5.10a, 5.10b, 5.10c, 5.9+, 5.11a, 5.10d, 5.11b and so on....
I don't mean to be mean or anything. Stefano is obviously an amazing climber. But is bizarre and ridiculous that climbers these days (especially those who are sponsored and are out in the mountains all the time, but also everyone else) have not done multipitch climbs and they're climbing 9a and 9b. Or even 6a and up. My first climb was a multipitch and the first six years of my climbing was basically all multipitch. Also bizarre that people can climb in a gym for 5 or 7 years or whatever and never have gone outside. The whole climbing experience has totally changed. It would be nice to start on sportclimbs and get hard. But it was a different experience even doing 'so called' easy routes and learning to place gear from the very start. And having balls in your mouth adventures every time you went climbing. It's a pity so many people dismiss this when they are getting into climbing. I guess it depends on your 'crowd'. But surely it's obvious long routes are out there and you don't have to stick to sport climbs and bolts.
Great video! And congratulations to win La morra! :D How can I find a youtube channel of your guide "Ale Weber"?, the idea seems to be very interesting
@@steghisosarebbe bello un secondo canale in italiano magari meno professionale,meno impegnativo, in cui portare robe più scontate ma che possono essere comunque belle,tipo allenamenti vari,in cui non è necessaria chissà quale qualità ma è comunque piacevole.
Stefano's preparing for the ultimate triple: Silence, Burden of Dreams, and The Dawn Wall
bro
*orbayu
Funny thing is he'd probably send the dawn wall in two weeks
The dawn wall isnt that hard compared to the other two.

When you have money you have time
Stefano and Pete Whitaker need to do some multi pitch trad climbing in Norway or something.
This! He already made him proud in the la sportiva legends!
hell yeah
I still cant believe such a good climber never climbed multi pitch
Imagine being being the guide to one of the strongest climbers in the world

You've got talent! 😅😂 very cool of you and that you made a route with a professional mountain guide!

En España tambien es un juego popular en la provincia de Teruel, La Morra
It always surprises me when such amazing climbers haven't done multipitch! My first time ever climbing on rock was multipitch.
Europeans man
@@adaml2987not at all, in Europe are so many good mp and he is living 10min walk from nice walls

Yeah. The better you get the bigger the zone between "this feels hard" and "I can't fucking do it" gets.
Nice job, man. Some beautiful shots of the Dolomites 😁
Can’t wait to see stefano with a rack of cams.

Brenta has great rock, and the routes are pretty cool too, esp. the ones leading up the the tower with the crack on inferiore!
Amazing camera work
Your channel is so good man!
Nice video! La morra is also a local game in Aragon (Spain) :)

It's amazing for Italians. Unfortunately I can't speak the language 😞
You should do some multi pitch climbing with Pete
I think I met Alessandro on La Fiamma in 2022. What a nice guy!

Welcome to the club of alpine climbers!
The year that Stefano was born i did the first ascent of a 20 pitch 5.12 (800m, 7b+)😅
It's interesting watching Stefano's transition from a gym climber to, i'm guessing, Dawn Wall next?
Stefano you should do digital crack off the cosmique arete. It's an epic alpine 8a+ single pitch
Stefano will have the mental for the trentino game
One error. There is no mora without 4 ostie en mez 😂😂
He's yelling his rope commando like a real Italian 😀
Me encanta tu contenido 💪, ojalá algún día pongas subtítulos en español 🙏😊
Joder tio, italiano es como español con un dialetto 🤌
@@Miura.Powers ya, pero es que no habla en italiano 😅, en todos sus vídeos habla en inglés 🤌
Bout time
Prepping for El Cap?? Please say yes!
Ciao Stefano! É possibile sapere le impostazioni GoPro che usi per la POV sul caschetto?
Eternal Flame is next 🔥
I think These Shoes are ok..i used it for burden of dreams😂😂😂
Strider of the Dolomites. That guide sounds and looks like Viggo Mortensen!
Could someone explain the game they plays for me haha
Dear Stefano Ghisolfi parla come che te magni!
Stefano is right, 6c+ is the most dangerous grade haha
Oggi ho scoperto che ho scalato prima in Brenta io di Ghisolfi
Nice first climb! Seems like you might make a pretty good climber if you keep at it, maybe even become a professional climber some day
😂
Climbing for 20 years and never doing a multipitch is craaazy. How?!
Especially when you live in or near Arco, the multipitch paradise 😁
What brand is the backpack? 😉
It looks like The North Face Verto 27 Backpack
"6c is the hardest grade ever"
Stephano
What's the guide's YT channel? I could not understand it fully.
*alessandro beber
don't worry this is not the first time we get lied to while watching "my first time" videos
But it's the first time you think you get lied and then it's actually true
What the f is the name of that game and how does it work??
Go visit Honnold in red rocks next and see what other firsts you can do 😂
Unfortunately Alessandro videos are on Italian language. They would be amazing with English subtitles.
Hello there
L'attrezzo per il recupero è al contrario, ma dovrebbe funzionare lo stesso.
6c>9c
try el cap
My first multi pitch ever
Los Riglos
Epic

You are living in Arco and never climbed a multipitch?! Not for real, shame on you 😅
Ma via dai, la guida che munge la catena al primo tiro…
Non le volevo vedere certe cose.
