Classified 9a/+ by Gabri Moroni

Gabriele Moroni has made the first repeat of Alexander Megos Classified 9a+ in Frankenjura. It was bolted by Christian Bindhammer 10 years ago and it has been tried by many of the top guys during the years. Gabri has earlier done six 9a's including Action Directe. Beside, Bock, Ondra and Megos, the italian is having the best Tick List for Frankenjura. 2nd ascent of this beautiful route recently opened by Alex Megos. Talking with him we both think the grade would need a slash since it can't be considered as a solid 9a+ but neither a 9a... so 9a/a+ sounds good! It took me around 15 tries in not always the best conditions...
