Action Directe 9a by Simon Lorenzi

Climb2Climb reports that Simon Lorenzi, Lead Youth World Champion and winner of one Euro Cup in bouldering, has done his first 9a, Action Directe in Frankenjura. In total, the Belgian needed eleven days over three visits, in addition to some specific training. So why did you choose AD as your first 9a and what is the ambition for 2017? I choose Action Directe because I love Frankenjura. It's my style, the place is so historic and is the most famous 9a in the world. It is not far away from Belgium, just 5 hours from my home. This year, I will do the world cup in Lead and I hope to make many semi finals. Action Directe was put up in 1991 and has after being upgraded around 1995 been considered the first 9a until last year, when Hubble from Ben Moon in 1990 was proposed to be upgraded.
