| 9c | Silence | Flatanger | 3 September, 2017 | 5 |
|
First Ascent Check out the documentary on YouTube about the successful ascent of the most difficult route in the World. |
||||
| 9b+ | Vasil Vasil | Sloup | 4 December, 2013 | 3 |
| First Ascent. 2 years and 20-25 days on this thing. It is definitely not mega line, it is painful, short and in dirty place. But it was there, I bolted it 5 years ago and I couldn't leave it unclimbed. It is basically one-mover. 7 meters of burly 8b route into hard boulder problem, which is 8B+ on itself for sure. One single move is at least 8B. Very frustrating process of making no progression for long days, but when it finally happened, on super cold sticky day, it felt like nothing. In a short moment it was all over. Short, but LONG awaited moment. I am so happy. | ||||
| 9b+ | La Dura Dura | Barcelona / Oliana | 7 February, 2013 | 5 |
| First Ascent. 9 weeks of epic is over! And hopefully for Chris soon. I can move on. Soo happy. | ||||
| 9b+ | Change | Flatanger | 4 October, 2012 | 5 |
| First Ascent. Crazy process comes to a beautiful ending, it can't be any better. No more comment, except for I am still super happy. | ||||
| 9b | One Slap | Arco / Laghel | 13 November, 2017 | 5 |
|
First Ascent Amazing link up of Queen Line into the One Punch with spicy moves in between. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 9b | Chilam Balam | Villanueva del Rosario | 13 April, 2011 | 5 |
| I was so glad to repeat this mysterious route. The route is a Monster, so long that your knees trembling from the view, but in the end it was not as hard as I had expected, but deserves its grade of 9b, though it is on its lower end. Only 3 days of work, one hold at the bottom is enlarged. | ||||
| 9b | C.R.S. | Mollans | 2 November, 2015 | 5 |
| First Ascent What a moment! Extremely satisfying ascent, nice to feel the progression on the real rock. This route bolted from Seb Bouin is just ultimate power endurance testpiece, combining desperately physical overhang with extremely thin holds on the very top. Last try, last day, 3 days in total and 1 try two years ago. Never did the "real" 9b so fast, not even close:-) This cliff (close to St Leger) is the future, ranked number 2 after Flatanger for me in terms of 9b's and more...and it is not secret spot any more... | ||||
| 9b | Move Hard | Flatanger | 10 July, 2017 | 5 |
| First Ascent Good training link up. From the first crux of Move move right into the crux 2 of Project Hard. | ||||
| 9b | Chaxi Raxi | Barcelona / Oliana | 27 March, 2011 | 5 |
| First Ascent Yes, last day of the trip again, I must climb under the pressure... Took 8 days of work, my hardest. Not the best line in Oliana, but still pretty good. 8B+ boulderproblem into 9a/a+ with good rest on tufa in between | ||||
| 9b | First Round First Minute | Margalef / Laboratori | 3 February, 2014 | 5 |
| nice short power endurance testpiece | ||||
| 9b | Lapsus | Andonno | 20 April, 2017 | 3 |
| Amazing endurance testpiece with a few artificial holds, but amazing climb nevertheless. Kept falling for two days in February where it was actually finished, I just had really bad beta. For my height it is rather low end 9b, but being taller than Stefano definitely helps a little. | ||||
| 9b | La Capella | Siurana / La Capella | 16 February, 2011 | 5 |
| First Ascent Yes! I sent it last try of last day of the trip. An extremely bouldery route which took 7 days this trip and 2 days last year. Bearing in mind the effort, it could be 9b, but I am not sure at all. Would have been definitely 9b if I hadn't figured out better sequence for the lower crux, as I had the sequence I had thought it would be a quick work and 9a+ but in the end I fell nine times in the higher crux... Time will tell | ||||
| 9b | Move | Flatanger | 20 August, 2013 | 5 |
| First Ascent 9b/b+ or just HARD 9b. Took me 2 weeks and half, while feeling strong and with bomber conditions. This route was hard for me, one my hardest, though Change is probably harder to repeat, as it fits my style WAY MORE | ||||
| 9b | Queen Line | Arco / Unknown Crag | 18 April, 2017 | 5 |
| First Ascent 1st 9b in Arco. 17moves of super hard intense pinching, crimping and dropknees, into easier finish. Quite hard 9b for sure, but probably only the harder finish breaks into 9b+. 4 days of work this trip, a few goes three yrs ago. | ||||
| 9b | Golpe de Estado | Siurana / El pati | 13 March, 2010 | 5 |
| HUGE relief for me, mission accomplished despite various obstacles - notoriously strong wind, injury, flu and stomach ache just before the second trip (thus I was out of shape). After first day in the route I did not expect I would have to dedicate so much time, but proved to be really hard and mischevious. 29 tries (mental torture for me!) during 14 days, but some days only go when I found out it is just too windy to climb at 6th bolt. I do not say it is hard 9b after breaking the hold, but 100% it is 9b now (a bit harder than Marina). | ||||
| 9b | Neanderthal | Barcelona / Santa Linya | 12 February, 2019 | 3 |
| Finally! | ||||
| 9b | Iron Curtain | Flatanger | 3 August, 2013 | 5 |
| First Ascent One project less, onto the next one! This one took me 6 days this trip plus quite many days of waiting for acceptable conditions. The sending was true heartbreaker, fell off one metre below the anchor because of wet hold in the morning, wanted to rest for the next day, but strong wind breaking the pole of the tents made me go out and send in a beutiful evening, together with Seb and Dharma. | ||||
| 9b | Mamichula | Barcelona / Oliana | 8 February, 2017 | 5 |
| First Ascent Linkup of Papichulo and Pachamama. Links the best of of both routes, skipping the rests and adding hard traverse. Sick power endurance climbing, comp style. Definitely hard 9b for me, too pumpy | ||||
| 9b | Disbelief | Calgary / Acephale | 20 July, 2018 | 5 |
| First Ascent Project from Calgary climber Josh Muller who worked on it quite a bit and actually did all the moves! Took me 8 days of effort, mental battle with one low percentage. In the end, I think it is pretty high-end 9b, but I do not have the courtage to call it 9b+. 7C+ into 8C boulder without any rest into easy finish. | ||||
| 9b | Fight or Flight | Barcelona / Oliana | 9 February, 2013 | 5 |
| Perfect last day in Oliana. Time to move on. Awesome route Chris! | ||||
| 9b | Robin Úd | Alternativna stena | 5 October, 2016 | 5 |
| First Ascent 4 days of work this year, 1 day in 2014. Ultra athlethic climbing in the cave - 30 moves of hard climbing. | ||||
| 9b | Eagle-4 | Avignon / St Léger | 13 February, 2018 | 5 |
| First Ascent Many days falling and thinking this no more than 9a+, in the end, I hesitantly propose 9b. | ||||
| 9b | La Planta de Shiva | Villanueva del Rosario | 22 April, 2011 | 5 |
| First Ascent obsession about this route, one of my hardest so far, pure enurance climbing with few rests, continuously hard with minimum of rests, took 7 days of cleaning, trying and brushing (it had been already bolted) | ||||
| 9b | Stoking the Fire | Barcelona / Santa Linya | 19 February, 2016 | 5 |
| Kind of mental battle for sure. Tried for two days last year in February, then I almost sent it first day in November, then two mopre days being super close in December.This trip 5 days, but it took me a bit of time to get into sufficient shape for this. Brutally physical power endurance testpiece. Right exit will be hard and is one of the biggest challenges in Catalunya. | ||||
| 9a+ | Chaxi | Barcelona / Oliana | 21 March, 2011 | 5 |
| First Ascent Skipping the first bouldry section, with the 7b start on the right, logical line on itself | ||||
| 9a+ | Catxasa | Barcelona / Santa Linya | 8 February, 2019 | 3 |
| my nemesis, the only 9a+ that has two Czech ascents thanks to Jakub Konecny | ||||
| 9a+ | Pachamama | Barcelona / Oliana | 3 February, 2017 | 5 |
| took a bit longer, 4 days, but feeling quite fit:-) Glad to feel like this after Yosemite | ||||
| 9a+ | Power Inverter | Barcelona / Oliana | 25 January, 2013 | 5 |
| first day of the trip, with totally wet upper slab. Made stoked for La Dura dura, felt strong!! | ||||
| 9a+ | La Castagne | Avignon / St Léger | 2 February, 2018 | 5 |
| First Ascent Left "En Verve". Project by Quentin Chastagnier. Hard bouldering | ||||
| 9a+ | Open Air | Innsbruck / Schleier Wasserfall | 17 November, 2008 | 3 |
| whopee! my hardest definately! a bit harder than Weisse rose, so 9a+ should be appropriate I hope, when Alex Huber did it, Action Directe considered as 8c+ , then 9a for this one was OK. Now when AD is 9a, this should be 9a+. 5 days, 9 goes, BUT always in good conditions and friction, in summer it would be something very different... | ||||
| 9a+ | Three Degrees of Separation | Provence / Céüse | 21 July, 2015 | 5 |
| oh, glad it is done! Maybe I can dyno after all... | ||||
| 9a+ | Obrint el Sistema | Santa Ana | 14 March, 2011 | 5 |
| First Ascent 5 tries, 2 days, low end 9a+ I quess, but should deserve the grade since it is pretty tough boulderproblem after 8c+ climbing and rest in the jugs | ||||
| 9a+ | Czech Trip | Mavrovo | 19 October, 2018 | 5 |
| First Ascent Harder and longer exit of Macedonian trip. Bolted with headlamp on day 1, cleaned on day 2, rested on day 3, sent on day 4. Possibly 9a+/b. | ||||
| 9a+ | Hyper Finale | Sion/SW / Rawyl | 17 July, 2016 | 5 |
| First Ascent The direct original finish, 3 goes. Includes weird boulderproblem after 8c+/9a climbing and very good rest. | ||||
| 9a+ | Change P1 | Flatanger | 25 July, 2012 | 5 |
| First Ascent The first pitch of the ultimate project. Did it on the absolute limit, then the period humidity came and I was no longer able until the end of the trip to climb even the first pitch... Damn, return in September/October | ||||
| 9a+ | Meiose | Interlaken / Charmey | 27 January, 2018 | 5 |
| One day ascent, third go. Nice short power endurance on tiny holds. Low end 9a+ with kneepad. | ||||
| 9a+ | La Rambla | Siurana / El pati | 10 February, 2008 | 5 |
| 5.go, without resting hold altough it is nonsense to consider it as prohibited | ||||
| 9a+ | Biographie | Provence / Céüse | 22 July, 2014 | 5 |
| This route was so uch harder to send this year. It took some time to get used to grabbing pockets, three days this year. Having tiny fingers definitely helps a little | ||||
| 9a+ | L'étrange ivresse des lenteurs | Provence / Céüse | 4 September, 2010 | 5 |
| First Ascent project from Sylvain Millet to the right of Biographie, 2 days in summer, 1 day in September, unexpected (too fast) send of sth I had thought that would be 9b | ||||
| 9a+ | High Line | Kanjon Tijesno | 25 September, 2018 | 5 |
| First Ascent Amazing 50m of climbing, demanding all the way to the top! Bolted and cleaned in 2 days, climbed in 2 days | ||||
| 9a+ | 120 Degrees | Flatanger | 19 June, 2016 | 5 |
| First Ascent absolutely crazy inverted roof boulderproblem after having done the first part of Elden Inuti. | ||||
| 9a+ | Thor's Hammer | Flatanger | 8 July, 2012 | 5 |
| First Ascent first two pitches of multipitch monster project from Magnus Midtboe (enormous effort) linked into massive 55-meter long pitch. Could be easy 9b, but climbed it rather fast and found some better beta compared to Magnus. Third pitch is impossible for now though there are some holds. | ||||
| 9a+ | One Punch | Arco / Unknown Crag | 13 November, 2017 | 3 |
| took a few days, hard one for sure! 9a+/b | ||||
| 9a+ | Iñi Ameriketan | Bilbao / Baltzola | 9 May, 2014 | 5 |
| harder than Il domani, even though easier beta than Patxi and Rikar used has been found. 2 days, sent in humidity | ||||
| 9a+ | Goldrake | Milano / CORNALBA | 6 April, 2010 | 5 |
| First Ascent incredible fight! 5th go, an old project on the right of Jedi, unfortunately two chipped holds on the start, but sick route! I am absolutely not sure about the grade, it is notorious dilema - 9a or 9a+. Just the same as so many other routes. But I decided to go for 9a+ with this one since it is pretty much my style and the send was really incredible fight | ||||
| 9a+ | Sacrifice | Echo Canyon | 23 July, 2018 | 5 |
| First Ascent nice project to the right of Hnour and Glory, bolted by Evan Hau. Hard kneebar boulderproblem into pumpy climbing. | ||||
| 9a+ | Geocache | Frankenjura / Vogelherdgrotte | 23 May, 2016 | 3 |
| 1 day ascent. Almost did in a couple of tries in the short morning session, but punted really hard on the very top. Then I took a rest and sent it in the evening. Regarding to the grade, I agree with Alex that it is strange route most of all (even though it is very cool and fun to climb). And hard too, but how hard is the question. I am considering that the route fits my style, being tall helps a tiny bit and I feel in a good shape, I guess 9a+ could be OK. But conditions were rather humid, even though it was not 30 degrees as the previous day. | ||||
| 9a+ | Jungle Boogie | Provence / Céüse | 5 June, 2012 | 5 |
| First Ascent 3 days, 7 tries, awesome power endurance climbing on small crimps | ||||
| 9a+ | Thor's Hammer 2 | Flatanger | 16 September, 2017 | 3 |
| First Ascent 3 hard boulderproblems in massive exposure. Second pitch of TH, jumar start or 2nd pitch of multipitch route. Start on the ground will be 80m of 9b+. | ||||
| 9a+ | Hell Racer | Hell | 22 September, 2013 | 5 |
| First Ascent 4th day on, last day in Norway, excellent timing and good way to say good bye. Took 4 days in total. Quite serious bouldering into sustained finish | ||||
| 9a+ | Marina Superstar | Sardinia / Domusnovas | 20 October, 2009 | 5 |
| First Ascent So happy to have some really hard FA! Well, I am not sure about the grade. Definately my hardest yet, but probably not 9b, thus I go for 9a+/b. I have to try more routes from Chris to compare. Beautiful line 35m line in very steep cave. It took me 4 days this year and 3 goes last year. Thanks to Matteo Marinini for bolting and to whole Cagliari! | ||||
| 9a+ | Stone Butterfly | Herculane | 15 May, 2018 | 5 |
| First Ascent Amazing project from Gerhard Horhager right of Guri Guri. Power endurance on small tufas and crimps. Very complex and fun climbing. | ||||
| 9a+ | Vicious Circle | Osp/Misja Pec | 25 March, 2016 | 3 |
| First Ascent 9a+/b. Left start into Sanski par. Bouldery and short 8c+ into the most of the Sanski par 9a (without first six moves). I would say two 8c+'s with a bad rest in between. Super powerful and resistant climbing. | ||||
| 9a+ | Perlorodka | Holstejn, Mor.kras | 6 September, 2011 | 5 |
| First Ascent Finally it is done! Great line, one of the best lines at home and feels great to send the line I have been walking around for years and thought of it as impossible. Possibly the route I spent the most time on, but once you are at your home crag, you don't bother with the tries even when you are tired. So great to send both of my projects the same day! 8a + no-hand rest + 7Cboulder + rest + 8B+ boulder (12 moves) + 7B+ mantle onto the ledge | ||||
| 9a+ | Bohemian Rhapsody | Roviste | 29 April, 2020 | 5 |
|
First Ascent The longest and hardest linkup in this beautiful granite area. Climbingwise absolutely amazing. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 9a+ | Naturalmente | Camaiore | 21 April, 2017 | 5 |
| First Ascent one of the best routes I can imagine. Slightly overhanging wall, tiny crimps, undercuts, shitty feet, resistant, bullet-proof rock. Tried for two days three weeks ago, now it went down after checking the moves. Rather high-end 9a+ I would say. | ||||
| 9a+ | Kangaroo's Limb | Flatanger | 21 September, 2013 | 5 |
| First Ascent Another season in this beautiful cave is over for me. Many projects left behind. Left exit version of Kangaroo's dyno project, the cheater's one. Dyno specialists, come and try it! I could stick the dyno as a single move, but not very close to link. | ||||
| 9a+ | Underground Dreaming | Arco / Unknown Crag | 24 February, 2018 | 3 |
| First Ascent just another linkup... | ||||
| 9a+ | Corona | Frankenjura / Schneiderloch | 6 June, 2009 | 5 |
| wow! OK, it is low level 9a+, but still could be 9a+ though I needed mere 8 tries to send it! a bit different sequence than Markus plus being tall helps a lot... | ||||
| 9a+ | Predátor | Srbsko | 19 November, 2015 | 5 |
| First Ascent Very nice route with awesome sequence in the crux, which is impossible to grade. For me probably 9a/a+, but with no flexibility definitely much harder...1 daz month ago, now sent 2nd go in 30mins | ||||
| 9a+ | Overshadow | Malham | 16 May, 2011 | 5 |
| 4 days this year, 3 day last year, it was already turning out into the mental war, so many slipped feet and mistakes, the send felt quite easy in the end, but the upper end of the grade for sure. Props to Steve | ||||
| 9a+ | Qui | Innsbruck / Geisterschmiedwand | 19 September, 2019 | 3 |
|
2nd ascent after 23 year, FA Stefan Furst in 1996. It took me over 10 years and roughly 10 days. 1st day this year. Stefan gave it 9a, possibly something have broken, but very possibly it has not got much harder due to breaks. I believe it is more 9a+ now, even though the crux is very hard to grade. The difficulty is not to be underestimated as the first 8c section is suprisingly tiring and makes the crux so much harder. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 9a+ | Ultimatum | Arco / Massone | 19 April, 2017 | 3 |
| Icing on the cake after Queen Line | ||||
| 9a+ | Torture physique integrale | Interlaken / Gastlosen | 7 July, 2013 | 5 |
| First Ascent 5 goes, two days. The full line going to the top. 9a+/b is the most correct I guess. For my height and my beta could be hard 9a+, every other beta for short people could be 9b. This place is crazy!!! I love it here. | ||||
| 9a+ | Super Crackinette | Avignon / St Léger | 10 February, 2018 | 5 |
| A route is a dream, the ascent was a dream. | ||||
| 9a+ | Papichulo | Barcelona / Oliana | 24 February, 2009 | 5 |
| brillant! absolutely my style, 5 days of work | ||||
| 9a+ | Modified | Frankenjura / Holzgauer Wand | 28 October, 2015 | 3 |
| Got so close just after 2nd go ascent in september, now I thought I would crush straight away, but trying Alex's methods was not the best idea as my fingers turned out to be too fat. Resorting to my original beta I sent 5th go of the day. Good training in the end... | ||||
| 9a | Napalm in the Morning | Vienna / Adlitzgraben | 15 March, 2014 | 3 |
| Brilliant line, but it all comes down to two single moves. FA by Berni Fiedlernsome years ago, some holds have broken since then supposedly and hasn't been reclimbed. It could be harder than the neigbouring Erfolg ist trainierbar,but I have no clue about the grade of that one either. Maybe just hard 8c+. | ||||
| 9a | Flammen Inuti | Flatanger | 6 August, 2017 | 5 |
| First Ascent suprisingly good addition to the cave. Start like Elden Inuti, before the last bolt of the first pitch keep going right and low. Then join Halibut. With the anchor at the first pitch of Elden Inuti 8c+/9a. | ||||
| 9a | Tanec kuřátek | Jáchymka, Mor.kras | 30 March, 2010 | 5 |
| First Ascent crazyy! narrow but long cave with tricky moves. After bouldery start, pumpy climbing follows difficult chimney where only your calfs are getting pumped, test of my new drill successful :-) | ||||
| 9a | Hakuna Matata | Milano / Cubo | 18 April, 2013 | 3 |
| 3rd go, pumpy | ||||
| 9a | Om | Endstal | 14 June, 2009 | 5 |
| 6 goes, 2 days, beautiful climbing in rather alpine type of rock, props to Alex | ||||
| 9a | Proces | Visnove | 4 May, 2016 | 3 |
| very happy to send it despite humid and greasy conditions | ||||
| 9a | Beginning | Arco / Eremo di San Paolo | 3 September, 2020 | 3 |
|
2nd GO Very resistant climbing. I found a kneebar and that made the route less bumpy, which might make it only 9a. Checked the moves and did it next go. But I had done St Anger in the past and tried Zauberfee before. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 9a | La prophétie des grenouilles | Fournel | 11 July, 2014 | 5 |
| 2nd GO ALMOST second 9a onsight in one day! broke a hold after the crux! | ||||
| 9a | Retour Gagnant | Avignon / St Léger | 31 January, 2018 | 5 |
| First Ascent Done with a headlamp in the end of the day. Waiting for the big projects to dry up, hopefully... | ||||
| 9a | Echolokace | Býčí skála, Mor.kras | 17 October, 2010 | 5 |
| First Ascent The weirdest boulderproblem ever! Great line and moves though! | ||||
| 9a | Perla východu | Moravský kras | 16 September, 2007 | 5 |
| First Ascent very hard, nice and tricky. Yeaaaaah! | ||||
| 9a | Pantera | Frankenjura / Schneiderloch | 10 October, 2009 | 5 |
| 4 days, two falls from last hard move | ||||
| 9a | Purgatory | Hell | 21 July, 2013 | 5 |
| First Ascent one day last year, second go this year. Perfect power endurance route | ||||
| 9a | Valhalla | Flatanger | 29 July, 2016 | 5 |
| First Ascent Odins Eye extension, all the way to the final rail of Thor's. Incredibly massive pitch of ultra tiring climbing, at least 65 meters. Possibly one of the harder 9a's, but not 9a+. Bolted by Joe Kinder | ||||
| 9a | Macedonian Trip | Mavrovo | 16 October, 2018 | 5 |
| First Ascent Project bolted by Klemen Becan in 2014. Amazing tufa line, almost 50 meters of perfection. 3 goes | ||||
| 9a | Biologico | Arco / Unknown Crag | 8 April, 2012 | 3 |
| First Ascent 1 day ascent, bolted by Loris Manzana | ||||
| 9a | Action Directe | Frankenjura / Waldkopf | 19 May, 2008 | 5 |
| the masterpiece | ||||
| 9a | Witchhammer | Flatanger | 26 August, 2015 | 5 |
| First Ascent 2nd GO A new line bolted by Adam Pustelnik. Starts with a first few bolts of Nordic Flower and goes left, crossing Thors Hammer in the roof and going into the Brunhilde for the final crux. Really fun climbing, different sections with rests in between, never easy. Flatanger at its best. | ||||
| 9a | Todos los santos | Roc Galliner | 6 February, 2014 | 5 |
| First Ascent Amazing line to the left Ni Blog Ni Facebook. Slightly overhanging face on crimps. Unique place totally worth the hike. 3 goes. Bolted by David Gambus | ||||
| 9a | La Terza Eta | Camaiore | 21 April, 2017 | 5 |
| First Ascent 4 goes, ultra tired and ultra fight, but somehow I did not fall... | ||||
| 9a | A Muerte | Siurana / Can Piqui Pugui | 4 March, 2010 | 3 |
| 3 tries 2010,2 2008, easy 9a, but harder that 8c+ | ||||
| 9a | Palestina | Cuenca | 13 February, 2013 | 5 |
| such a bummer not onsight it, but shit happens. Next time I can more lucky | ||||
| 9a | Los Revolucionarios | Kalymnos / Odyssey | 25 May, 2009 | 5 |
| 6 tries, 3 days, big moves on strange holds, depens on conditions and your height | ||||
| 9a | More | Medveja | 26 March, 2016 | 5 |
| First Ascent What a day! 3rd go, very intricate climbing on small holds and big moves | ||||
| 9a | Mia | Vranjača | 25 July, 2020 | 5 |
| First Ascent Amazing 50m line in an amazing cave close to Paklenica. Hard to say about the grade, after 25m of 8a/a+ you get into resistant section with weird crux which I think suits my style, even though after having worked the moves it is max 8c+. Possibly 8c+/9a. 3rd go. | ||||
| 9a | Abyss | Nice / Gorges du Loup | 1 August, 2007 | 5 |
| 3.GO,not sure about grade,maybe 8c+/9a I dont know | ||||
| 9a | Ira | Bilbao / Baltzola | 10 May, 2014 | 5 |
| First Ascent shares the artificial start with Tas Tas, then goes straight via some funky moves in between stalactites. bolted by Patxi, humidity | ||||
| 9a | La Teoria del Gesto | Rome / Sperlonga | 21 December, 2017 | 3 |
| First Ascent Climb most of Grandi Gesti, keep left all the way to the Cavalieri Selvaggi anchor. Unfortunately good kneebar before the final crux, which is reachy and all about srrange fingerlock | ||||
| 9a | Le Cadre Nouvelle Version | Provence / Céüse | 5 September, 2010 | 5 |
| First Ascent 2nd go this year, 1 try five years ago of that 8c | ||||
| 9a | Im Reich des Shogun | Basler Jura | 30 September, 2009 | 5 |
| 2nd ascent after Eric Talmadge (props to him), 2 days, 5 tries, amazing structure of rock | ||||
| 9a | Cabane au Canada | Sion/SW / Rawyl | 9 July, 2013 | 5 |
| Long-term dream came true when I did not even expect it. I travelled to this incredible area, thinking that the route would be pretty dirty and abandoned after a long winter, but I found it perfectly cleaned with the draws hanging in. I admit that it is definitely not hard 9a, it definitely rather lower end, but it fits my style, I felt in very decent shape and I fought hard! For the first time in my life, I onsighted a route which had been suggested 9a and I could honestly believe that it could be in the 9a region. For all the others it was simply not case, even though it is very hard to judge it while you are onsighting. Beautiful moment and experience in the early morning session in some of the most breathtaking sportclimbing-wall I have ever seen. | ||||
| 9a | Super Finale | Sion/SW / Rawyl | 17 July, 2016 | 3 |
| First Ascent Hyper Finale and half way up into Etoile de Maya. | ||||
| 9a | Interklemezzo | Kanjon Tijesno | 22 September, 2018 | 3 |
| First Ascent Amazing wall in Bosnia close to Banja Luka. It was bolted by Peter Schwamberger and during two days at Chill&Drill Fest I made the first ascent. First pitch is 8b+, then hard boulderproblem into technical finish. More projects waiting | ||||
