Jules Marchaland does Ephyra (8C+)

Jules Marchaland has sent Ephyra (8C+) in Chironico. The 24-year-old stopped competing in July last year and then in a couple of months he sent six 9a routes and beyond as well as five 8C boulders including one flash. (c) Arthur Delicque

โ€Unexpected send. 3 days. Just stuck the pinch a few times. Never linked it before. And somehow finished it and made the top-out for the first time. So, so, so, so, so good. Such an amazing moment with friends.

What is next?
Back to routes. Maybe Ratstaman Vibrations (9b) or Biographie (9a+) in Cรฉรผse. But no endurance training since Madrid world cup, so getting back in endurance shape chill outside and a Fionnay trip for Permanent midnight low (8C+) and others stuff, good combo.
