La Negra 9a by Loic Zehani

Loic Zehani has during one week in Alicante done nine routes 8c and harder including La negra (9a) and a flash of Sesion de control (8c). In total, the 20-year-old has done almost 200 routes 8c to 9b, out of which 54 just the last 12 months. "La Negra is a route redpointed by Pedro Pons in 2001. It is 12 meters in a big overhang. It's very powerful all the route with a really hard 2/3 section."
