9a by Ruben Firnenburg (17)

Ruben Firnenburg has done his second 9a, The Essential in Frankenjura which his two year older brother, David, also did two weeks ago. "Really happy to send it. Cool and bouldery line on pockets. Crux for me is a dead-point-move at the second bolt. Pretty unexpected because of rainy and foggy weather. Route was almost dry." (c) Ben Ullman
