Sachi Amma adds one more 9a+ to the new standard

Sachi Amma has done Seleccio anal 9a+ in Santa Linya. "Amazing last day of this trip. I send it on my second go!!! I knew the lower part from Seleccion but still it was unbelievable climbing. It is soft but still 9a+ I think. Now time to go home!" During the last three weeks, Sachi has done seven routes between 9a and 9b which is something never have been done before in the history of climbing. During the last three years, Sachi has been the best Lead competition climber in the world but in 2015 he plans to focus on rock and only do two World Cups. One of them is in Norway so hopefully, he will challenge some of the hardest routes in the world in Flatanger. (c) Manabu Yoneyama
