Jules Marchaland adopts a fast climbing style and makes quick work of, Super Crackinette (9a+)
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried the route 3 times x 3 days. On the first six days I fell on the mono (1st crux) and on the last three days I fell on the last move (2nd crux). Very nice endurance route. I climbed it as fast as possible to be good on the last move (1m25sec for 30 moves🤣).
How long is the route and how many clips?
Maybe 20 meters and 9 quickdraws but I only clip 6. I ran [up it] very fast🤣🤣, besides the 2 meters of the easy slab at the end.
