Carlo Traversi Instagram - BD Athlete Carlo Traversi has put up the FA of The Dark Side (V16/8C ) in Yosemite, establishing what is now the hardest boulder in the valley. “This past weekend I climbed one of my lifetime projects in Yosemite.  I call it a lifetime project because when I started trying the line, it seemed so unfeasible that I imagined it taking a lifetime to finish.  More importantly, it's such an inspiring line that I accepted the fact that I’d keep trying it for the rest of my life regardless of the mounting failures. It sits smack in the middle of Camp 4 on the left side of the Thriller boulder.  It was there when Ron Kauk made the first ascent of Thriller in 1984 and when Jerry Moffatt made the first ascent of The Force in 1991.  It was there in 2003 when I first saw the boulder, incapable of climbing either of those legendary lines.  I couldn’t see it until 2013 on my first trip back to the Valley after a long stint away.  Then it popped right out of the wall and I haven’t been able to take my eyes off it since. Over the last 7 years I’ve put 50 sessions into making this dream into a reality.  I’ve quit a few times, only to be dragged back in the following year.  It’s definitely my most difficult climb and the most work I’ve put into anything in my personal climbing.  It’s called “The Dark Side” and I’m suggesting V16 for the grade.”

Carlo Traversi Instagram - Magic Line 5.14. All gear placed on lead. Learned a lot from this one. Finding peace in a near constant state of tension. Moving softly while maintaining that tension. Trusting the granite, testing its limits of friction. Accepting a new feeling of flow. Imagining my feet are like the roots of a tree, grounded in each position. Then ripping them up and pressing them down again. Over and over. Just keep moving. No thinking, just moving. Seeing it through. Demanding perfection. Much thanks to everyone who I’ve shared the day with at this line over the years. We are lucky to have these places to test ourselves. Photos by @christian_adam_ . Thanks to @blackdiamond for the support and @marymeck for the belays. Video coming from @kippwagon.

Carlo Traversi Instagram - Tierrany V14. Yosemite’s new hardest (but not for long). On that one-two with @jwebxl. Brushed this thing up in 2013, but didn’t start giving serious efforts until end of 2019. Finally sorted out the bottom business with Jimmy a few weeks ago...crew vibes for the win. He found his way to the top and I followed a few tries later. This ones a really atypical Yos bloc, less trickery and more iso power on decent holds. Reminds me of Swiss, except for the HP40 sloper top out 😳. Photo by @jwebxl. @blackdiamond @fiveten_official @frictionlabs
Carlo Traversi Instagram - I’ve always been drawn to climbs that have both historical significance and an air of mystery surrounding them. In today’s day and age, that combination is getting harder to come by, with every piece of stone captured a million ways and cast out into the daily feed without a moments thought. While this sharing of information satisfies our immediate arm chair curiosity, it has the potential to rob us of a real experience complete with the trials and tribulations of understanding something for yourself. In American climbing, there is no route more shrouded in mystery than @tommycaldwell ‘s Flex Luther at The Fortress of Solitude. He made the First Ascent in 2003, proposed it as the first 5.15 in America and save for a couple snaps from @timkemple, there’s nearly no information about the route. Over the years, whispers of broken holds and unclimbable choss have dominated the narrative, but I always found that information to be speculative and incomplete. It continued to draw me in, to discover the truth for myself. Finally this year, I decided to put everything into climbing Flex. I spent a month in the Spring sorting the moves but was thwarted by wet holds and a lack of partners. I returned at the beginning of October to continue my efforts. It’s been a long month of hot days, wet days and everything in between, but finally yesterday I was able to clip the chains on one of my dream routes. It’s definitely the hardest thing I’ve climbed on a rope so far. The whole process has been captured on film and I’m looking forward to telling more about this story in a future release. For now, I must extend a massive thanks to everyone who has supported this journey. To my sponsors @blackdiamond @fiveten_official @frictionlabs, my wife @marymeck for always supporting my wild dreams and everyone who ventured up to the cliff this month @honngy @margojain @jon_cardwell @christian_adam_ @ethan_pringle @ryanolsonk @broncopeters @nelsoncarayannis @agrphoto and Jeff Achey @wolverinepublishing . Looking back I will cherish the days spent at the cliff with such a wonderful collection of talented and supportive people. 📸 @christian_adam_
Carlo Traversi Instagram - From Dirt Grows The Flowers V15 was established by @dave_graham_ in 2005 and along with The Story of Two Worlds was declared by Dave to be “the new standard” for V15 after many of the first of that grade had been downgraded. As a young climber both of those problems along with Dreamtime were always the top of my list for hard boulders. Turns out it would be the last one for me to complete. Grade and history aside, I have always been drawn to “From Dirt” because of its uniqueness within the hard boulders of Ticino. The crystal band that forms the lower part of the climb is distinct and powerful and is probably around V13. Once at the sloping lip you reach the real test which is a frustratingly subtle V11 mantle to gain the exit slab. I absolutely love boulders that manage to encapsulate both high end power and tech. Not many manage to do it at an equally high level. In early 2013, shortly after finishing Story and making the first ascent of The Kingdom V14/15, I fell off the mantle of From Dirt multiple times from the start on my final day in Swiss that year. It’s lingered in my mind ever since. Returning this year, it was my highest priority. One promising session was followed by one terrible one, and it seemed unlikely that it was going to happen. I waited for a single cold day at the end of the trip and after feeling stiff and tired in my warm up, I pulled on and perfectly executed every move to the top. It was the most weightless I’ve ever felt on the wall and one of the most pure moments I’ve had in climbing. It reminded me of how much I love pushing myself in bouldering. Prop to Dave for being way ahead of the game when he made the first ascent of this one. It still stands as a perfect test piece of hard bouldering and one of my favorite boulders that I’ve climbed. @blackdiamond @blackdiamond_climb @theboulderfield @frictionlabs

Carlo Traversi Instagram - Send days at The Fortress are few and far between, but yesterday I had the chance to witness @honngy make the 2nd ascent of Flex Luther, which was established as the first 5.15 in America by @tommycaldwell nearly 20 years ago. Matty put the work in and got it done and it was super inspiring to see him fight through the multiple intricate and bouldery sections of the 100 foot route and finally clip the chains. I was also stoked to tick my hardest belay 😂. We’ve both been waging war on this route over the past year and his ascent has me more motivated than ever to see the process through. My split tip is finally healed up and I’m ready to give some more goes this week! @blackdiamond #liveclimbrepeat
Carlo Traversi Instagram - In the early 2000’s, when I began climbing, Five Ten @fiveten_official was THE brand to be associated with in climbing. With the best athletes, clever and edgy marketing, and the stickiest rubber and most innovative climbing shoes in the industry. The moccasym was my first pair of climbing shoes and when I saw the “Five Fifteenie” ad with @chris_sharma on the First Ascent of Biographie, I knew I had to have the Anasazi Velcro as well. In 2006, my professional relationship with the brand began after they offered me my first sponsorship. For the last 16 years I’ve had a wonderful time working for, promoting, and more recently helping develop shoes with a brand that I truly believed in from day one. Getting to know Charles Cole and all of the passionate employees that have worked for Five Ten over the years is an experience I will cherish forever. Unfortunately times change and all good things must come to an end. Beginning this year I will no longer be representing Five Ten as an athlete. It’s bittersweet for sure, part of me is still tied to the emotional connection I’ve had with the brand since the beginning, but I also realize that the Five Ten of today is not the same as the Five Ten of yesterday. I’m greatly looking forward to trying out the many different climbing shoes that have entered the market over the past years and also to spend time imagining what the future of climbing shoes might be. Photos of just a small portion of the shoes I’ve gone through over the years. Some relics in there. Can anyone name all the different models?

Carlo Traversi Instagram - A few weeks ago, @marymeck and I welcomed this little bundle of joy into our lives, Mila Juniper Traversi. What an incredible experience bringing her into this world and I’m so proud of Mary for her strength and perseverance throughout the lengthy labor and delivery process. In awe, in so many ways, at what women are capable of. Now we are settling into our new life as a team of three and looking forward to our first adventures with the little one as soon as possible!

Carlo Traversi Instagram - Another shot of Flex Luther 5.15 from @christian_adam_. Really puts the whole wall in perspective. The ground quickly drops away from the base of the cliff and it causes the exposure to increase exponentially as you progress up the wall. Love that feeling of being extremely small in a massive landscape. @blackdiamond @fiveten_official @frictionlabs
Carlo Traversi Instagram - The last few months 📸…. Took a little break from posting. Needed a little reset and time to think about my underlying motivations for sharing. And more importantly the motivations for capturing in the first place. As demand for content grows and supply picks up to meet it, it’s hard to not feel like the things we create become less valuable. More recently I felt the need to hold onto the things I’ve captured so they feel more important and personal. There’s probably some truth to both of those sentiments but they run contrary to community. They can also stifle creativity. Moving forward I would like to start sharing a bit more but I’m unsure of the avenue.

Carlo Traversi Instagram - Even above 10k feet, the quest for cooler temps in July eluded me this year. After quickly shredding my sweaty skin on the hot granite I resolved to stick to the indoor training program until the Fall temps start to roll in. 📸@marymeck. #bouldering @blackdiamond @theboulderfield @blackdiamond_climb @frictionlabs
Carlo Traversi Instagram - Slowly settling into the new routine. Mostly gym time @theboulderfield the last few months but nice to dig my fingers back into the cold Tahoe granite this past week. Contagion Low felt unlikely a few years back but the pieces fit this time around. Another primo bloc from @jwebxl 👌🏻. @blackdiamond @blackdiamond_climb

Carlo Traversi Instagram - Spent the better part of April and May on the Western Slope of Colorado climbing at a rarely visited cliff called The Fortress of Solitude. I’ve spent many days at this cliff over the years, having climbed Kryptonite 5.14c/d in 2015, made the First Ascent of Mask Off 5.14b/c in 2017 and bolted a new mega line with @jon_cardwell in the winter of 2016. For the amount of days I’ve spent up there, sends are rare due to the difficulty of the climbing and the taxing nature of the approach. I knew going into the trip that focusing on keeping a learning mentality would be the best approach. Absorb, endure, and enjoy the process. My main goal was to try @tommycaldwell ‘s Flex Luther, which he established as the first 5.15 in America in 2003. I tried the route a few days in 2015 and was impressed with the difficulty of the climbing and also the style, which is particularly slow, technical and engaging throughout its entire 100ft. It was a style that I wasn’t accustomed to and still not good at, and I love that fact. I showed up this year in the best route climbing shape of my life and waged war along with @honngy (pictured here) and on a mini trax when I didn’t have a belayer. Progress was slow at first with a lot of seeping holds but about 3 weeks into the trip I had a big breakthrough and climbed from about 6 moves in (just below the low crux) and fell on the last hard move. It felt like a send was imminent but a mixture of warm weather and a lack of belayers in my final week(s) proved to be an insurmountable barrier with my limited time left. So it goes. Overall I really enjoyed my time up at the cliff this Spring, tapping into the limestone sport climbing game after a couple year hiatus. I’ll certainly be back when the weather is prime again! Many thanks to @marymeck for the many belays and to my sponsors for their continued support @blackdiamond @fiveten_official @frictionlabs @theboulderfield

Carlo Traversi - 10.6K Likes - BD Athlete Carlo Traversi has put up the FA of The Dark Side (V16/8C ) in Yosemite, establishing what is now the hardest boulder in the valley. “This past weekend I climbed one of my lifetime projects in Yosemite.  I call it a lifetime project because when I started trying the line, it seemed so unfeasible that I imagined it taking a lifetime to finish.  More importantly, it's such an inspiring line that I accepted the fact that I’d keep trying it for the rest of my life regardless of the mounting failures. It sits smack in the middle of Camp 4 on the left side of the Thriller boulder.  It was there when Ron Kauk made the first ascent of Thriller in 1984 and when Jerry Moffatt made the first ascent of The Force in 1991.  It was there in 2003 when I first saw the boulder, incapable of climbing either of those legendary lines.  I couldn’t see it until 2013 on my first trip back to the Valley after a long stint away.  Then it popped right out of the wall and I haven’t been able to take my eyes off it since. Over the last 7 years I’ve put 50 sessions into making this dream into a reality.  I’ve quit a few times, only to be dragged back in the following year.  It’s definitely my most difficult climb and the most work I’ve put into anything in my personal climbing.  It’s called “The Dark Side” and I’m suggesting V16 for the grade.”

Moving softly while maintaining that tension. Trusting the granite, testing its limits of friction. Accepting a new feeling of flow. Imagining my feet are like the roots of a tree, grounded in each position. Then ripping them up and pressing them down again. Over and over. Just keep moving. No thinking, just moving. Seeing it through. Demanding perfection. Much thanks to everyone who I’ve shared the day with at this line over the years. We are lucky to have these places to test ourselves.

Brushed this thing up in 2013, but didn’t start giving serious efforts until end of 2019. Finally sorted out the bottom business with Jimmy a few weeks ago...crew vibes for the win. He found his way to the top and I followed a few tries later. This ones a really atypical Yos bloc, less trickery and more iso power on decent holds. Reminds me of Swiss, except for the HP40 sloper top out 😳. Photo by @jwebxl. @blackdiamond @fiveten_official @frictionlabs

Likes : 2612Carlo Traversi - 2.4K Likes - I’ve always been drawn to climbs that have both historical significance and an air of mystery surrounding them. In today’s day and age, that combination is getting harder to come by, with every piece of stone captured a million ways and cast out into the daily feed without a moments thought. While this sharing of information satisfies our immediate arm chair curiosity, it has the potential to rob us of a real experience complete with the trials and tribulations of understanding something for yourself. In American climbing, there is no route more shrouded in mystery than @tommycaldwell ‘s Flex Luther at The Fortress of Solitude. He made the First Ascent in 2003, proposed it as the first 5.15 in America and save for a couple snaps from @timkemple, there’s nearly no information about the route. Over the years, whispers of broken holds and unclimbable choss have dominated the narrative, but I always found that information to be speculative and incomplete. It continued to draw me in, to discover the truth for myself. Finally this year, I decided to put everything into climbing Flex. I spent a month in the Spring sorting the moves but was thwarted by wet holds and a lack of partners. I returned at the beginning of October to continue my efforts. It’s been a long month of hot days, wet days and everything in between, but finally yesterday I was able to clip the chains on one of my dream routes. It’s definitely the hardest thing I’ve climbed on a rope so far. The whole process has been captured on film and I’m looking forward to telling more about this story in a future release. For now, I must extend a massive thanks to everyone who has supported this journey. To my sponsors @blackdiamond @fiveten_official @frictionlabs, my wife @marymeck for always supporting my wild dreams and everyone who ventured up to the cliff this month @honngy @margojain @jon_cardwell @christian_adam_ @ethan_pringle @ryanolsonk @broncopeters @nelsoncarayannis @agrphoto and Jeff Achey @wolverinepublishing . Looking back I will cherish the days spent at the cliff with such a wonderful collection of talented and supportive people. 📸 @christian_adam_

Likes : 2431Carlo Traversi - 2.1K Likes - From Dirt Grows The Flowers V15 was established by @dave_graham_ in 2005 and along with The Story of Two Worlds was declared by Dave to be “the new standard” for V15 after many of the first of that grade had been downgraded. As a young climber both of those problems along with Dreamtime were always the top of my list for hard boulders. Turns out it would be the last one for me to complete. Grade and history aside, I have always been drawn to “From Dirt” because of its uniqueness within the hard boulders of Ticino. The crystal band that forms the lower part of the climb is distinct and powerful and is probably around V13. Once at the sloping lip you reach the real test which is a frustratingly subtle V11 mantle to gain the exit slab. I absolutely love boulders that manage to encapsulate both high end power and tech. Not many manage to do it at an equally high level. In early 2013, shortly after finishing Story and making the first ascent of The Kingdom V14/15, I fell off the mantle of From Dirt multiple times from the start on my final day in Swiss that year. It’s lingered in my mind ever since. Returning this year, it was my highest priority. One promising session was followed by one terrible one, and it seemed unlikely that it was going to happen. I waited for a single cold day at the end of the trip and after feeling stiff and tired in my warm up, I pulled on and perfectly executed every move to the top. It was the most weightless I’ve ever felt on the wall and one of the most pure moments I’ve had in climbing. It reminded me of how much I love pushing myself in bouldering. Prop to Dave for being way ahead of the game when he made the first ascent of this one. It still stands as a perfect test piece of hard bouldering and one of my favorite boulders that I’ve climbed. @blackdiamond @blackdiamond_climb @theboulderfield @frictionlabs

Matty put the work in and got it done and it was super inspiring to see him fight through the multiple intricate and bouldery sections of the 100 foot route and finally clip the chains. I was also stoked to tick my hardest belay 😂. We’ve both been waging war on this route over the past year and his ascent has me more motivated than ever to see the process through. My split tip is finally healed up and I’m ready to give some more goes this week! @blackdiamond #liveclimbrepeat

Likes : 1990Carlo Traversi - 1.8K Likes - In the early 2000’s, when I began climbing, Five Ten @fiveten_official was THE brand to be associated with in climbing. With the best athletes, clever and edgy marketing, and the stickiest rubber and most innovative climbing shoes in the industry. The moccasym was my first pair of climbing shoes and when I saw the “Five Fifteenie” ad with @chris_sharma on the First Ascent of Biographie, I knew I had to have the Anasazi Velcro as well. In 2006, my professional relationship with the brand began after they offered me my first sponsorship. For the last 16 years I’ve had a wonderful time working for, promoting, and more recently helping develop shoes with a brand that I truly believed in from day one. Getting to know Charles Cole and all of the passionate employees that have worked for Five Ten over the years is an experience I will cherish forever. Unfortunately times change and all good things must come to an end. Beginning this year I will no longer be representing Five Ten as an athlete. It’s bittersweet for sure, part of me is still tied to the emotional connection I’ve had with the brand since the beginning, but I also realize that the Five Ten of today is not the same as the Five Ten of yesterday. I’m greatly looking forward to trying out the many different climbing shoes that have entered the market over the past years and also to spend time imagining what the future of climbing shoes might be. Photos of just a small portion of the shoes I’ve gone through over the years. Some relics in there. Can anyone name all the different models?

The moccasym was my first pair of climbing shoes and when I saw the “Five Fifteenie” ad with @chris_sharma on the First Ascent of Biographie, I knew I had to have the Anasazi Velcro as well. In 2006, my professional relationship with the brand began after they offered me my first sponsorship. For the last 16 years I’ve had a wonderful time working for, promoting, and more recently helping develop shoes with a brand that I truly believed in from day one. Getting to know Charles Cole and all of the passionate employees that have worked for Five Ten over the years is an experience I will cherish forever. Unfortunately times change and all good things must come to an end. Beginning this year I will no longer be representing Five Ten as an athlete. It’s bittersweet for sure, part of me is still tied to the emotional connection I’ve had with the brand since the beginning, but I also realize that the Five Ten of today is not the same as the Five Ten of yesterday. I’m greatly looking forward to trying out the many different climbing shoes that have entered the market over the past years and also to spend time imagining what the future of climbing shoes might be. Photos of just a small portion of the shoes I’ve gone through over the years. Some relics in there. Can anyone name all the different models?

What an incredible experience bringing her into this world and I’m so proud of Mary for her strength and perseverance throughout the lengthy labor and delivery process. In awe, in so many ways, at what women are capable of. Now we are settling into our new life as a team of three and looking forward to our first adventures with the little one as soon as possible!

And more importantly the motivations for capturing in the first place. As demand for content grows and supply picks up to meet it, it’s hard to not feel like the things we create become less valuable. More recently I felt the need to hold onto the things I’ve captured so they feel more important and personal. There’s probably some truth to both of those sentiments but they run contrary to community. They can also stifle creativity. Moving forward I would like to start sharing a bit more but I’m unsure of the avenue.

Likes : 1142Carlo Traversi - 1.1K Likes - Spent the better part of April and May on the Western Slope of Colorado climbing at a rarely visited cliff called The Fortress of Solitude. I’ve spent many days at this cliff over the years, having climbed Kryptonite 5.14c/d in 2015, made the First Ascent of Mask Off 5.14b/c in 2017 and bolted a new mega line with @jon_cardwell in the winter of 2016. For the amount of days I’ve spent up there, sends are rare due to the difficulty of the climbing and the taxing nature of the approach. I knew going into the trip that focusing on keeping a learning mentality would be the best approach. Absorb, endure, and enjoy the process. My main goal was to try @tommycaldwell ‘s Flex Luther, which he established as the first 5.15 in America in 2003. I tried the route a few days in 2015 and was impressed with the difficulty of the climbing and also the style, which is particularly slow, technical and engaging throughout its entire 100ft. It was a style that I wasn’t accustomed to and still not good at, and I love that fact. I showed up this year in the best route climbing shape of my life and waged war along with @honngy (pictured here) and on a mini trax when I didn’t have a belayer. Progress was slow at first with a lot of seeping holds but about 3 weeks into the trip I had a big breakthrough and climbed from about 6 moves in (just below the low crux) and fell on the last hard move. It felt like a send was imminent but a mixture of warm weather and a lack of belayers in my final week(s) proved to be an insurmountable barrier with my limited time left. So it goes. Overall I really enjoyed my time up at the cliff this Spring, tapping into the limestone sport climbing game after a couple year hiatus. I’ll certainly be back when the weather is prime again! Many thanks to @marymeck for the many belays and to my sponsors for their continued support @blackdiamond @fiveten_official @frictionlabs @theboulderfield
