Le 28 octobre, Babsi Zangerl a revendiqué la quatrième ascension de Meltdown (5.14c) à Yosemite. Créée par Beth Rodden il y a 15 ans, cette voie est devenue la référence ultime du trad dans la vallée, et l’un des cracks les plus durs au monde. L’ascension de Babsi est le premier doublon réalisé par une femme, et il est aussi important de noter que tous les doublons de cette voie ont été effectués par des athlètes de Black Diamond, Carlo Traversi ayant fait le second, et Jacopo Larcher le troisième. Regarde l’envoi brut de Babsi et laisse-toi emporter !
