9a+ by Sachi Amma up at 4 000 m and Hirayama not far behind

Planet Mountain reports from Yuji Hira did make the first repeat of Excalibur 8c+ and Tinipi 9a+ located high up at 4 000 meters. Tinipi was Sachi's sixth 9a+ in the last 12 months. Sachi also worked out 2/3 of a 100 meter testpiece that Yuji bolted saying it is harder than 9b+. "Next year we're planning to come back, there are many beautiful peaks which still aren't developed, I'm eager to return!" Yuji says that Tipani is the best route he has bolted and Sachi thinks that the 46 year old can do it. "Tinipi means "Dream" in the local language and it is going to be crazy news if one day his dream comes true!" © Eddie Gianelloni Full commentary added as a comment.
