Nalle Hukkataival repeats GioiaVideo

Here it is finally, the video of Nalle Hukkataival making the 3rd ascent of Christian Core's Gioia, Font 8C, at Varazze, Italy

Nalle makes it look like somewhere in the 6C or 6C+ range, but this is one of the very hardest problems in the world, meaning 8C or possibly 8C+. The grade of Gioia will be discussed for some time yet and further repeats are needed before it can settle, but like Nalle says: Let's remember that Gioia means Joy.

Enjoy!

It's true, I've seen video of Gioia where it looks like I'd imagine its grade to be, but Nalle makes it look doable for punters. Good climbing.

Big congrats to Nalle for sending, and making it looks that easy! As used as we are to power..SCREAMS nowadays, with almost everybody displaying their war-cries, within the ''A muerte!'' motto,..this silent cyborg, crushing while not showing the slightest emotion, make it even more impressive to me. Are we witnessing a new trend?...no more SHAAAAAH! UUUURRGGH! NEEEHH!
