To have and not to be F9a?
« To have and not to be » 9a(?) :
After this first 40m walking with a 6c+ and then a 7b+, you will meet the real problem: 10 meters with some boulders problems one after one without any rest…Mono-fingers and very small edges on a beautifull red-brown-orange and white roc…
Alexander Megos (15 years old here)did in one day:
-« Fakes Friends » 8b 40m FA 1rst try
– « Trous dans l’air » 8b FA , cruxs on sight (More difficult mouvs than Gaia 8b, Nadir 8b or Rakomelo 8b…)
-« Dragonian Devil » 8b in Yanis sector. (Very easily by the way…)
+ an other day: « Keep Going » 8a+ 20m FA also in Kalydna sector.
He tryed this 9a route, but he didn’t have time to do many runs…
1 others grade 8 is waiting the FA in the same sector!! Let’s come to try!!
This route will be the most difficult of the sector and wait a FA,
