Giuliano Cameroni adds another dream line to Val Bavona

“Maybe my best FA so far." With these words Swiss climber Giuliano Cameroni announced via Instagram that he had made the first ascent of the spectacular prow Baba Yaga in Valle Bavona, bolted and freed after 5 days of effort and now graded 9a.

The route is located a mere 200 meters from the classic boulder Heritage, on "one of the coolest blocs I’ve seen", and joins the growing list of highly aesthetical valley lines freed by the 23-year-old such as Simple Man and Mojo Rising.

“Baba Yaga” (9a/5.14d) FA Few months ago I had the chance to bolt and open this prow, one of the coolest blocs I’ve seen! Dream line that follows a steep arête for 10 meters and tops out with a tricky but easier final section. Maybe my best FA so far. Thanks @ju.and.me for showing me this gem.. situated 200m past Heritage @adidasterrex @fiveten_official @redbull @redbullswitzerland @petzl_official Thanks @stefankuerzi for the pic
