Jules Marchaland FAโs Le bruit de lโacid (9b)
Jules Marchaland, who last month sent his fifth 9a+, has done the FA of Le bruit de lโacid (9b) in Claret.
Can you tell us more about the FA?
It links Guรจre de bruit (9a) with a hard boulder with a massive cross dyno. Fell 20 times here and 4 times at the last boulder problem of Super Samson (8c). 7c+ route - 8b boulder - 7c+ boulder without rest. So happy for this mega route. First time tried a route that suited me so well. Harder than the 9a+โs Iโve done. Super psyched. Thanks again Lucien.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
