9a or 9a+ by Gérôme Pouvreau

Jibé Tribout reports, "Gérôme Pouvreau has yesterday climbed Sashinadandha 9a/a+ in Orgon. This route was equipped 15 years ago by Jerome Rochelle and was staying inclimbed instead of many attempts, specially Christian Bindhammer who was trying every year since 3/4 years. Gerome did it quite quickly falling two times at the last hold last week. This route is right of Bronx, it's a big grey bombé who offer 30 moves of small crimps. High boulder level and height stamina standard is required to climb it!It's good for the south of France where nothing "really!" hard was climb since a while!"
