Hubble 9a by Peter Dawson

peter dawson has done his second 9a, Hubble at Raven Tor after some 15 sessions. It was set up by Ben Moon in in 1990 and until recently considered the first 8c+ in the world. Probably do to adaptation to the current grade inflation, it has been upgraded to 9a. "I thought it was harder than Rainshadow so yeah 9a." Here is the video of the 12 meters long route.

The route is extremely short and after 10 moves you are into 7c climbing to the chains. I started making significant links in spring and by summer I was reaching the final moves. The sequence came together two weeks ago and it was my second 9a. Climbing it was one of my best experiences as I absolutely nailed the sequence and to make such a hard sequence feel quite solid was incredible! The key was gaining the finger strength which I did by trying in the route lots. Next I would like to try Mutation which is another classic 9a at Raven tor."
