Domen Škofic has done Little Badder (9a) in Flatanger and now he has started working on Move (9b). ”I’m enjoying the process of working on Move. It’s going amazing at the moment:)”

With Jorge Diaz-Rullo (who took the picture), Stefano Ghisolfi and Seb Bouin at the scene, it is an amazing line up in the cave, although Alex Megos just left.

Can you tell us more about Little Badder?
It’s incredible that this route is not that much endurance based even though it’s approximately 50 meters long. It has so many good knee bar rests that it’s more challenging to stay focused on doing two very cool athletic cruxes perfectly with a nice flow. The only thing I disliked about this route is that it gets wet quickly and can stay wet for a long time. I basically send it the first good/dry day since arriving here. The other days I could focus on working the Move which stayed dry most of the time so I took adventure of every day :)

Loic Zehani, who earlier in 2024 has sent 15 routes 9a to 9b, has done the FA of La voie lactée (9a) in Baume canouille. (c) Lunar Fox

”35 powerful movements in the big overhang. "Grotte de l'Ours" style! Hard first part with a nice dynamic move and some crimpy movements, then the second part is very resistant and physical. There is no rest between. About 15 tries in way too hot, that it is so good north wind "mistral". Not soft I think.”
