8c+ by Loic Zehani (15)

Loic Zehani, who has done three 9a FAs, has done his seventh 8c+, L'intรฉgrale du playboy in Lourmain. The 45 metre long route has a 9a+ left variation put up by Seb Bouin. "The day after my send of the 8c+ I tried the 9a+ and I am ok on the moves but I failed on the dyno. Next year maybe (when I will be stronger and taller). For the 8c+ It took me 6 days of trying (2 tries in a day), during the winter holidays. To my knowledge the first ascent of the 8c+ was done by Gรฉrome Pouvreau. It's a very very nice route and thanks Jibรฉ Tribout to have bolted that piece of rock and thanks all the other bolters."
