Jacopo Larcher's Rise

To Jacopo Larcher, Northern Italy’s ‘Tribe’ represents not only his longest and most demanding project to date, but a six-year evolution from trad newcomer, to one of the most versatile and accomplished climbers in the world. In March of this year, Larcher chose to forgo his right to grade the route, deciding not to reduce his astonishing achievement to a number. Instead, he decided to allow that to stand as a monument to the climbing community who helped push him to its roof.
