Hugo Parmentier sends Hyper finale (9a+) and two 9a's
"I discovered the crag right after the French Championships [where he finished #5] and then did three small trips in between training in Annecy and bouldering in Fionnay with Clem Lechaptois and Marine Thevenet. It was a long adaption to the massive endurance routes of Super and Hyper finale. Especially having trained the power endurance for the comps. So Super Finale took me a lot. Then the boulder problem of Hyper Finale was hard to understand but then when it was well executed and I had trained endurance of Super Finale the whole route felt doable. I think I was recovering from the Fontainebleau project as well during the trip. Massala Tea is a power endurance test piece on small crimps. My complete style. It felt pretty hard even though it took me fewer tries than Super."
What is your next plan?
I hope to return to Fondation’s Edge in Fionnay with Clem and Marine. I’ll go to «Histoire sans fin » 8b+ multipitch (Petit clochet du Portalet, Mont Blanc area) with Symon Welfringer) And I have some business in La Ramirole but I don’t know how long and if I’ll be able to go there and hopefully climb my project.
