9a+ by Alex Megos in Flatanger

"BÄÄÄM!!! First repeat of "Thors Hammer" 9a+ in the Flatanger Cave is done! Felt harder then the other routes I've done in that grade. Took me 3 days to link the over 60m pitch which is always between 55 and 85 degrees steep! 38min climbing time... felt like a 10k run! Thanks Raimund Matros for the pic!" It was mainly bolted by Magnus Midtbö but Adam Ondra made the FA in 2012 and there is actually a possibility to make an extension. Also Jakob Schubert is trying it and Daniel Woods and Ethan Pringle are up in the big cave, too.
