he was on a
trip with a group of 10 kids and 3 adults from Italy. While he was climbing he
fell of 15 to 20meters. He was belayed from the ground by a person but they don’t
mention if he was toproping or lead climbing. Local police is still
investigating but at this point they talk about an equipment problem, a quickdraw
was apparently not used correctly. Like previously said he is in Grenoble
hospital and fighting for his life.
This wrong assembled quick draw has been shown as an example by the mountain police to the deceased Tito Traversa's father to explain how Tito could take a ground fall from 20 metres. The 12 year old Tito was together with ten children and three adults from his local gym on a road trip to France. Tito borrowed 12 quick draws as he was going to warm up on a 6b. Eight of the quick draws were assembled wrongly as can be seen on the picture.
