Alphane 9A by Aidan Roberts
Aidan Roberts reports on Insta that he has done the first repeat of Shawn Raboutou's Alphane 9A at Chironico. The 21-year-old has previously done a handful of 8C's and his hardest is Isles of Wonder Sit 8C+. Five years ago he won a Euro Youth Cup and his best result among the seniors is #19.
"Alphane however, was a pleasure throughout. Every day of effort, on rock or replica, felt to bear fruit with lessons of subtleties in movement, intricacy of holds and optimising mindset. Iโve got nothing but positive memories surrounding this climb and lots of days sharing methods with friends. It feels as though every session has been a success, almost a shame that there wonโt be more to come!"

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
