Dylan Chuat FAโ€™s Prouโ€™esse (9a)

Dylan Chuat, with 21 routes 9a or 9a+ under his belt, has done the FA of Prouโ€™esse (9a) in Bas-Valais. โ€One of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful line of Valais in this level. Another find of Sam [Ometz] but I was the one who took care of releasing her. A perfect bow with only right hand plates, left hand micro-cracks, and no foot in the middle, which imposes a demanding and quite striking gesture. For the level, I was rather going on an 8c+, but apparently, at the moment, I'm not too bad, so I'm trying to propose 9a... to be confirmed!

Especially since a week before, I chained L'oeuvre (9a) in three tries and the style is quite similar. So, it would not make sense to value this easier way if L'ล’uvre remains at 9a. In short, at least, it will bring people, because the way is really worth the detour! Thanks again, Sam, for this umpteenth find!โ€
