Caroline Ciavaldini Impresses Yuji Hirayama With Her Redpoint Game
In this short EpicTV episode, Caroline Ciavaldini joins Yuji Hirayama and the crew in Saint-Léger-du-Ventoux, southeastern France, for a session on steep, overhung limestone where precision and persistence matter as much as power. As the “Wine Dine Climb” series wraps up, the focus turns to redpoint tactics, composure on hard sequences, and the kind of performance that earns respect from one of climbing’s most revered masters. It’s worth watching for the mix of high-level effort and genuine stoke: Yuji’s smooth send of Le Concept (8b+) sets the tone, then Caroline’s determined redpoint of Leviathan (8b+) delivers the payoff—complete with “guru” praise that feels earned. If you love seeing how elite climbers manage rests, recover on the wall, and keep the head game together when the route bites back, this is a quick hit of motivation from a legendary limestone venue.
