Esteban Daligault does ร‡a chauffe (9a)

Esteban Daligault, with five 9aโ€™s under his belt, has done ร‡a chauffe (9a) in Seynes .

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
So, Iโ€™d already tried and did few attempts on this route 4 years ago. This year I went back to Seynes for a friendโ€™s birthday and I decided to try again. It took me 5 sessions this winter. And I succeeded at the last test of the weekend after a great mental battle.

What are your next plans?
I do a lot of mountaineering, so Iโ€™m going to try some hard mountaineering routes for the time being. Iโ€™ll be climbing again in the spring, and Iโ€™d like to do a 9a+, Bon Voyage (9a) and I have multipich projects, like Historie sans fin [8 pitches 8b+ in Switzerland] and others.
