Carlo Traversi Instagram – 10 years ago, after a sleepless night and recovering from a few too many beverages, I took a drive up Boulder Canyon to throw myself at The Game V15 for a few hours. I started off solo and spent 3 hours failing to reach a previous high point. Nearing the end of my session, some friends started showing up to either support or try the boulder and energy started to build. It was quite the crew consisting of @jonnyhork, @connor.griffith_ , @jon_cardwell , @dave_graham_ , @jwebxl , @jamiecemerson , @greg_mionske , @sticcs. It’s hard to not get swept up in the energy of such a motivated crew of climbers, and despite being really tired, my stoke was renewed. I pulled on, decided to try really hard, and somehow made my way to the top. At the time The Game was considered to be the most difficult problem in the world. I didn’t know about any of that, but nabbing the second ascent helped me build confidence in my capabilities as a climber. It was a significant mental turning point for me and a memory I look back on fondly. Video by @jonnyhork. | Posted on 14/Mar/2021 01:58:33
