9a (+) and 9a's by Kamil Ferenc
Kamil Ferenc has been climbing very hard under the radar for some years, including seven 9a's and harder, but finally he agreed to come out commenting his latest 9a's. (c) Kasia Berbeka
"My favorite country is Spain where I climbed most of my top routes โ like Seleccio Anal last week. This is my 7th route of nine grade, my best OS is 8b+.
I tried both Seleccio Anal and Natural for the first time in February this year but unfortunately I didn't finish them then.
After a month of intensive training mixed with good rests I came back to Santa Linya to finish what I started. First day of Aprilโs trip I tried Seleccio Natural โ I felt my training give the result feeling stronger - quite surprised I sent it second go that day. It was a good sign, as both routes have a shared start, but Natural ends more easily.
The second day was similar, after warming up I did one try to remember all the moves and sent Seleccio Anal second go on that day. The route was downgraded from 9a+ to 9a/a+ in Feb by my team colleague Piotr Schab. I donโt feel that experienced with the grade, tried only Papichulo out of 9a+ but I found Seleccio Anal easier. Anyway the route fits me perfectly, very much my style of climbing and I am really glad to have sent it.
I hope will be able to jump to next level soon. This year will be exciting, I plan to take part in two editions of World Cup, then visit Flatanger and spend autumn in the United States."
