Jules Marchaland ticks Kangaroo's Limb (9a+) and a 9a

Jules Marchaland, who last month flashed an 8C boulder, has sent Kangaroo's Limb (9a+) and Illusionist (9a) in Flatanger. โ€With the injury in my leg, it was the only route I could try. When I started again, I felt weak, and it was a tough one. I canโ€™t say I really enjoyed the route ๐Ÿ˜…... But I had to finish the job and had a great fight.โ€

Can you tell us more about the injury in your leg?
My trip was a bit weird because I could not move out of my bed for like ten days. It seems I could not move my leg because of a nerve problem. Then I was really weak going back so I had to take a rest day. It was horrible but after three days of recovery I could send it.

Kangarooโ€™s Limb the 24-year-old actually sent on the same day but as he got short roped going dynamic to the last hold, he just jumped instead clipping the chain. โ€Climbed it 2 fucking times ๐Ÿ˜…. Last day best day we said ? So hard mentally, this shitty trip is finally not that bad. Sick route, 8b route into good rest, and hard long boulder with random moves.โ€
