Jules Marchaland flashes 8c (+)

Jules Marchaland, who last year sent his first 9b and flashed an 8C boulder, has flashed Hélix au pays des merveilles 8c (+) in Pic St Loup.

Can you tell us more about the flash and the beta preperation?
I came to Pic St Loup for a change from Biographie (9a+), as it is hard for me to stay focused on a project for a long time. So I came here with my friend Naoch. My main goal was to try Legend but due to pain in my fingers, I decided to try easier routes just to train my endurance.

I belayed my friend on the route three or four times, learned the beta, and talked with him to find the best possible solution. Everything went perfectly, and it was an amazing climb. I really appreciated it, and it was super nice.

There is only a small issue with the ethics, as I had already climbed the last two meters of 6b climbing. So, in the purest ethical sense, it was not a flash. I don’t care honestly but this is a little problem but I am ok with this.
