glassgowkiss Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 From 8a.nu: "In Campanili di Lastei, Pale di S. Martino, Dolomiti, Manolo and Riccardo Scarian have opened a very hard multi-pitch route, called Cani Morti, declaring "8a obb" (only Wogü, by Beat Kammerlander in Rätikon, has this "obb" grade). The route, 5 pitches, 200 mt, is still to be freed, and they think that the max. difficulty is 8b/8b+, in the first pitch (20 mt, 4 bolt). In all the 5 pitches there are long run-outs on high demanding level of climbing. Altitude 2700 mt, the rock is excellent. "Obb" is short for "Obbligato", meaning that you must free that grade on that route. Aid-climbing is possible on more difficult grade only" next spring i am going on bolting frienzy..... Quote
