Talvez alguns dirão que é uma via. Para Rafael Passos, é um boulder. E seria o primeiro dessa graduação a ser aberto em nosso país (ainda em novembro de 2009, por ele mesmo). Nesse caso, a ordem cronológica é importante: representa um grande marco, uma grande conquista - todos sabemos que os lembrados e exaltados são sempre os primeiros, os que ousaram. São, enfim, os que domaram o distante e o inalcançável, fizeram da fantasia a concretude. Descobridores. Talvez seja o melhor adjetivo para descrever Rafinha. Para nós, obsessivamente apaixonados pela subida de pedras, o que fica é uma linda linha, uma escalada extremamente clássica, plástica, difícil. Muito difícil. Aproveitamos que estamos com o poder da palavra (e das imagens) para dizer: viva o primeiro V14 do Brasil!
Maybe some will say it’s a route. To Rafael Passos, it’s a boulder. And it would be the first of such graduation to be climbed in Brazil (still in November 2009, by himself). In this case, the chronological order is important: it represents a big milestone, a great achievement - we all know that the reminded and celebrated are always the firsts, the ones that dared. They are, at last, the ones who tamed the distant and unachievable, transformed the fantasy into concreteness. Explorers. Perhaps this is the best adjective to describe Rafinha. To us, obsessively passionate about climbing, what remains is a beautiful line, an extremely classic, gorgeous, hard climbing. Really hard. Now, since we’ve got the power of the words (and images), we say: cheers to the first V14 climbed in Brazil!
