From boulder to the big wall, Nicholas Favresse really does not miss anything. After Recovery Drink in Norway, in Badami, India he repeated the famous Ganesh, 8b+ by Alex Chabot, goal in the past for the American climber Paige Claassen. Nothing special for a climber like Favresse except that it is the first ascent on trad gear.

\n"It’s one of the coolest line I have climbed trad. Its moves are unique and protects fairly well on the horizontal breaks. It would be great to see other people climbing it clean and if the Indian community agrees it would be so cool to free Ganesh from its bolts which seem to me superfluous. The issue for taking the bolts off is that almost none of the Indian climbers have trad gear… For most of them it’s already pretty difficult to afford sport climbing equipment… so we have to take that into account".
