Action Directe 9a by Stephan Vogt

Stephan Vogt has after some 23 days of projecting done the 19th repeat of Wolfgang Güllich Action Directe 9a in Frankenjura. Last year his hardest route was 8b as he almost only focused on AD. Already last summer he fell on the last move and his hardest challenge was not to put too much pressure on himself going for it again. (c) Vaidotas Monstavičius "On a rainy day with terrible conditions, the first mono, first important foothold and the entire topout being completely soaked, it happens. I was so sure that I wouldn't send it that day but I guess that was exactly what I needed. It is such a rewarding feeling to have a goal for so many years and then finally succeed! I am so grateful to have such great people around me! Thank you for supporting and believing in me! I couldn't have done this without you!!!!"
