9a+ by Hugo Meignan (18)

Hugo Meignan has done an amazing ascent of Cedric Lachat's Staphylocoque 9a+ in Pic St Loup. "In the euphoria of my first 9a Moshka, I decided to try the next route Staphylocoque directly. This route combines Moshka beginning and end of a project called Kmira (unrealized). Finally on the third day of climbing, much to my surprise and with a super fight I managed to link this beautiful route." The last few years, only around ten climbers have done 9a+ and Hugo being just 18 years old is one of the youngest ever.
