9a by Markus Jung in Frankenjura again

Markus Jung has done The Essential 9a in Frankenjura. More great pics by © Tobi Körner and a report in German. "I had The Essential on my do-to-list since my brother Daniel climbed it in 2013. When I came back to figure out the moves again everything went surprisingly well. I became very confident on the route and had a good progress. Took me just three days of attempting.. I'm just super happy." In total, Markus has done four 9a's meaning he is six behind his brother Daniel. Other successful sport climbing brothers are Firnenburg, Zanone, Ometz, Hörst, Cossey and Stranik brothers . Any others?
