L'isola che non c'è 9a by Christof Rauch
How hard is the roof boulder and then the rope climbing?
It shares Ragtime 8B+ untill the last ~6 moves (~7A/B) but has another 5-moves 8A crux on the rope instead, followed by some easier climbing to the top.
How many sessions were needed to send?
I did it (Ragtime) in two sessions in 2016. Over the next years, I had two sessions on the route. Last autumn I invested three more sessions and got really close to sending it but then the snow came and it was too cold. Yesterday was my first session this year. I felt stronger than last autumn and surprised myself with a send.
