Chykungunya 8c (+) by Max Bertone (12)
Max Bertone, little brother to Oriane, has done Chykungunya in Ouaki giving it a personal 8c grade, Video. The last week the 12-year-old has also done two 8A's.
"I agree with Oriane. Harder than Pari and for sure the hardest route I have done. Maybe I have the advantage to be short and to have little hands. This explain the fact that I felt it harder than 8b+... but not enough to be 8c+, as suggested in the topo."
