8c+ FA by Chris Zehani (39)

Chris Zehani has done his third 8c+ FA the last year, Fox et Sashidananda in Orgon which is link-up between an 8b and Sashidananda 9a. "There are 42 ultra resistant moves without rest and it is for sure 8c+. It took me a lot of tries and a lot of time... but I am 40 years old (in June!) and now many routes take more tries and time than before. Another thing. Gerome Pouvreau redpointed Sashidanada in 2009 and graded it 9a. It is for sure too hard for me but I think it's more a 9a+ which many strong climbers also think.
