Can you tell us more about your 9a ascents?
My first days in Saint-Léger were quite rainy and the only climbable route was Super Crackinette. On the first day, I checked out the moves, but the next day the first part was wet, so I reached the crux with wet hands and couldn’t really try. On my third day on the route, it was finally dry but during my first attempt, I made a small mistake at the crux. I sent it on my second try of the day.

[Le Cadafist] I did three attempts one day but the start and a pinch on the first crux was wet, anyway on my third attempt i almost get out the crux but then I slipped because I had wet hands. I took a day of rest hoping it would dry. The pinch stayed wet but I knew that it was possible even like this so I tried anyway and unexpectedly sent it on my first go of the day.

[La Castagne] A few days ago, at the end of the day, I put on the quickdraws and looked a bit at the holds, but the initial boulder felt quite hard to me. Then, the day before yesterday, after doing L’Enfumette—since it was one of the few routes that were quite dry—I decided to get back on it. I did two laps and figured out all the beta. The next day, I did a go to check the movements again, and on the go after that, I came very close but made a mistake at the end of the boulder. I sent it on the next lap.
