Mega New D16 in Italy is Parallel World

Dariusz Sokołowski has made the first free ascent of the 60-metre Parallel World at Tomorrow’s World in the Dolomites at D16.

Other hard lines at the cave include Tom Ballard’s Je Ne Sais Quoi D14+ and A Line Above the Sky D15. Sokołowski, 55, repeated A Line Above the Sky a few years ago and has established other D15 routes.

There are two other unconfirmed D16s that have been climbed: Gord McArthur’s Storm Giant and Filip Babicz’s Oswiecenie.
