8c+ by Loic Zehani (14)

Loic Zehani, who previously did three 8c's, has done the first repeat of his father's route, Crépuscule in Orgon, giving it a personal grade of 8c+. Cristophe gives us some further info. "The route begins with a boulder section (about 7C): CUPRESSUS BLUES" 8b+, very hard for the fingers with small pockets and without feet) which is linked to the hardest part of L'ARLESIENNE 8b+, without any rest. It is a good stamina test piece with 42 movements and it took hime some 40 tries."
