Jules Marchaland does Solar Plexus (8C)

Jules Marchaland, who since August has done his four first 8Cโ€™s, including one flash, has sent Solar Plexus (8C) in Valle Bavona. โ€Tried one day some months ago. Went quickly today. Super sick. First Time I was ยซ campus for sure ยป and today I used the foot without any doubt with the solution comp itโ€™s game changer.โ€

Today, he also flashed an 8A and Ganymede Takeover (8A+), putting him at the top of this yearโ€™s flash ranking game.

Formerly focused mainly on routes and competitions, the 24-year-old has in 2025 completed eleven climbs graded between 9a and 9b. In other words, only a handful of climbers can boast such an outstanding combined ticklist this year.
