9a by Jakob Kronberger (14)

Jakob Kronberger has done Klem Loskot's Intermezzo XY gelรถst 9a in Plombergstein. Last year, when he did his first 8c+ at the same crag, he said: "I would like to climb Intermezzo. If I can't do it this year, I already know what to expect in 2015!" Alhough he is just 14 years old, Jakob is already 179 cm tall. More info to come. The youngest to have reached 9a are Ashima Shiraishi and Adam Ondra who were both 13 years old at the time. ยฉ Salzburg.com
