Dave Macleod has just climbed a new route on the Cima Ovest in the Dolomites, Italy.
Dave's new line takes a direct line up and through the large roof feature on the Cima Ovest, joining Alex Huber's Pan Aroma just before its' crux 8c pitch...
Jeez, that picture of him "starting" the 8c pitch puts this stuff in perspective. From the look of it most of us would think covering the ground between the photographer and DM, with no apparent runners, constituting 'starting' the pitch.
