Jakob Schubert sends Qui (9a+)

Jakob Schubert reports on Instagram that he has sent Qui (9a+) at the Geisterschmiedwand. The Austrian projected it last year, and he sent it on his second go this year. It was put up in 1996 by Stefan Fรผrst, as an 8c+, and Adam Ondra did the first repeat in 2019 suggesting an upgrade to 9a+ and he commented, "possibly something has broken, but very possibly it has not got much harder due to breaks." Later Alfons Dornauer and Roland Hemetzberger sent it confirming Ondra's upgrade. (c) Misha P
