It’s strange but true: despite having travelled around the world, Italian boulderer Niccolò Ceria visited the Zillertal for his very first time only last year. This cult climbing destination in Austria is famous for its beautiful granite sport climbs and boulders set in a pristine valley and was developed above all by locals Gerhard Hörhager and Markus Schwaiger.
What is even stranger, but just as true, is the fact that Ceria managed to climb a new line. Located above the narrow riverbed, this is now called Faber Castell. Here’s the video that recaps his experience.
