Watch Alessandro Zeni climb Eternit 9a+ at Baule, Dolomites

“Eternit is a route developed by Maurizio Zanolla on the Baule crag. An extremely smooth wall, seemingly impossible to climb, in the middle of the Vette Feltrine near Rifugio Boz.

I approached this route for the first time in 2010. On that long-ago day when I tried the route, I wasn’t at the skill level to be able to free climb it, but I remember that I nevertheless managed to complete the moves. The positive feelings on that attempt led me to believe that sooner or later I would be able to climb it. A dream that, unfortunately, was destined to be shattered.”
