The hardest pitch of all, graded 8b+. It was Janja’s favorite pitch, where she pulled off amazing climbing and the biggest fight of her life. On the other side, there was Domen’s nightmare, where the style of climbing was super crimpy and technical. With this pitch you would be getting some holds that made quite some drama in the 360ascent story.
It was the biggest and most challenging project we’ve ever done. Behind it, there was years of dreaming, planning, trying to find a way and brainstorming. The project finally got a green light in spring 2020 and there was no way back.
Setting team
