9a by Midtbรถ in Deverse/Gorges du Loup

Magnus Midtbo has done Kinematix, 9a in Deverse. "Kinematix starts with Totale Eclatch, a short powerful 8c on pinches, then you do some hard moves into Honk 8b+. (That is the reason why he has these routes as 'logg-book'.) magnusmidtboe.com also reports that "...some holds were even wet" but the following did also master bad conditions with hard ascents the last week. Jon Cardwell, Gabor Szekely, Andrea Szekely, Jerome De Boeck and Sean McColl who actually did ten routes 8a+ and harder in Deverse/Gorges du Loup. (Which name should we use for improving the database?)
