L'isola che non c'รจ 9a by David Firnenburg
David Firnenburg has done the second ascent of Fred Nicole's boulder route L'isola che non c'รจ 9a in Amden from 2009 after some eight days of work. (c) Lars Scharl
"Fred didnโt give it a grade, just said it lies somewhere around the 9th french grade. David proposes 9a for a powerful Fb 8A boulder (so called โCavernicoleโ) at the start, a Fb 7th graded traverse into a horizontal rest on a mini jug with heel-toe cam followed by a long and powerful Fb 8A+ boulder with spectacular swing and feet forward sequence at the very end. You sit start on crash pads and finish with a rope approx. 10 meters above the ground." More comments on Insta.
