Estado Critico 9a by Alizée Dufraisse

Alizée Dufraisse has done the first female ascent of Estado Critico 9a in Siurana. Including five previous 8c+ or harder, four 8As and several top competitions results, the French woman must be considered as one of the best female climbers in the last ten years. (c) Jacopo Larcher Full story on on her blog: "Last year, I spent quite some time on it, I was very close. As I chose to take part of the World Cup circuit of Bouldering, I had to leave without the ascent and I was very sad, but choices are like that, we can t have everything all the time. This year I realize that climbing outside is my priority and this is the reason of my climbing."
