La Moustache qui fâche 9a+ by Tanguy Merard (17)

Tanguy MERARD 🦐, who did his first 9a last year, has done La Moustache qui fâche 9a+. "Really nice route in the cool sector of Entraygues! Beautiful moves and first 9a+ for me. I tried it for the first time last year, I was close but a little hold broke. I gained a little bit of power and I sent it on my fourth session this year. It was a good process."

Next for the 17-year-old is Biographie 9a+, which he has been working on earlier this year but he had to take a three weeks break due to a back injury.
