Carlo Traversi Paths Of Glory (V12) FA Video

Posted May 23, 2008 at 6:30 am · Comments { 4 } ·

Wade David has a high res video for download of Carlo Traversi doing the First Ascent of Paths Of Glory (V12) in Clear Creek Canyon, CO.  Daniel Woods made a quick 2nd ascent last weekend and commented that the problem has “really bad rock”, but it looks pretty good in the video.

    Daniels commets were based on the fact that he and Ty broke off a number of holds, including the jug in the middle of the problem.

    Only one hold was broken to my knowledge and the second ascent is yet to be accomplished. Daniel completed a right variation to the problem, but did not complete the direct topout. I thought the problem had good quality rock on it. That jug in the middle was bound to break, but everything else was extremely solid when I climbed it. More holds have broken off of Dark Waters and no one goes around calling it a pile of shit. This is a touchy subject for me, not because I put the problem up, but rather I feel that comments made that day by certain individuals might lead to less people trying it in the future. I thought it was a fun climb, it might be soft, it might be stiff, but I think a lot of people could have fun on it if they just take the time to go up and check it out. How many roof climbs do you see like that in Colorado? Not many. Accept it for what it is.

    Carlo, I’m not trying to be critical at all. I think you took my comments the wrong way. In fact, although I have tried Stanley Kubrick, I never looked at the roof much, so I don’t know either way. I was just trying to add some first hand information to the discussion. I would love to see it for myself sometime. I never called your problem a “pile of shit”

    Interesting indeed. I appreciate both of you offering your first hand insights.

    Perhaps most of Carlo’s reaction is due to the comments he heard while at the boulder and not so much yours JE.
