Can you tell us more about the ascent and the process behind?
Sashidananda is a route with a resistant style, featuring powerful movements in a big overhang. There's a physical start followed by two consecutive cruxes without rest: the first in the most overhanging part with a complex heel hook that requires feeling and a lot of core strength. The second, the hardest, involves a big drop knee to hold a small edge before throwing laterally to the right onto a crack. For me, the difficulty of the route was managing the sections preceding the crux quickly to conserve energy but without any mistakes, then making explosive throws and believing despite the alteration of my ability to sense the movement due to physical and mental fatigue.

I don’t usually count sessions on projects when they drag on, but I know I had 9 sessions this year, maybe the same last year, and I had already been on the route in previous years. That's a lot compared to Supercrackinette, which took only 8 sessions, but for me, they are at the same level, the entry-level of 9a+.
