8th 9a FA by Loic Zehani (17)
Loic Zehani has done the FA of Iron Man in St Lรฉger, after six sessions, which was bolted by Albert Gnerro. This was the 8th 9a FA by the 17 year old.
"The route is almost 40 meters long and it's absolutely beautiful. It starts with a big overhang of more than 10 meters with three hard and bloc sections and then after a physical rest on tufas, it ends with the second part of "En voie dure Simone" a superb 8c. I think it will be ยซ a classic ยปin this grade soon. "
Alberto has bolted some 500 routes and we will follow up with some comments from him as there is an autobiography coming out. "I bolted this route last year but no chance to try because it was always wet. I easily do the roof but at the top there was wet holds. I did the 8c some years ago. I regret not to have the first ascent but good for Loic. He is a strong climber."
