Jules Marchaland does Hugh (9a) 2nd Go

Jules Marchaland, who got the silver in the French nationals last week, has sent Hugh (9a) in Eaux-Claires on his second go. โ€Historic. Athlรฉtic. Fun. Flash was possible but too aleatory.โ€

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
The French championship was near by so I had to take the opportunity to check it as it is located far from my house. It is super famous in France because it is our first 9a and I know it is pretty much my style so I had to try to flash it.

I fell on the last move on the first crux and then I did all the moves and sent it directly after.

What was your result in the nationals? Did you make it into the World Cups?
I was #2 but I did not make it. The French championships was not selective this year. We had two selective comps previously.
