For BD Athlete Carlo Traversi, Yosemite Valley is more than just a climbing area. It’s his past, present, and future. From his grom days climbing Midnight Lightning as a young teen in baggy athletic shorts, to his recent FA of the park’s hardest boulder, the blocs of Yosemite have become Carlo’s testing ground—a veritable canvas for creativity and craft. The Dark Side is a film documenting the often-overshadowed climbing of Yosemite—the boulders where jedis—from Kauk to Carlo—learn to harness the force.
