Janun Hornegger does Intermezzo XY gelöst (9a)

Janun Hornegger, who two months ago sent his first 9a+, has completed Intermezzo XY gelöst (9a) in Plombergstein.

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I started trying the route last year, but to late in the season and the summer heat stopt me from sending. This year I came back to the route much earlier. I was very close from the first day back, but I had to invest another four days this year. And yesterday was special, it did not feel good first, because my feet hurt from the heelhook and I had really bad skin. I wanted to stop because of the pain. Yet i made a last trie in the upcoming thunderstorm and rain, which was successful. Not the most solid send, the moves felt much worse than on other tries, but it was successful in the end :)

The route is another boulder testpiece from the local legend Klem Loskot. It consists of an 8b boulder followed directly by an short 8b route.
