La grande vadrouille 9a FA by Loic Zehani (17)

Loic Zehani has done his seventh 9a FA, La grande vadrouille in Gargantua. "In total there are 90 movements in roof and big overhang. The finish is hard and more crimpy in overhang too. The first part is a 8b+ in a roof very physical and stamina (45 movements) after that you have a hard section with shoulder boulder moves. Here you have done an 8c+. After a physical rest you have a last hard section with crimps in the end of the overhang. It's hard to not fall after all the energy you left beforeโ€ฆ It's in fact the connection between 3 routes; Dรฉgenรฉrรฉscence / Uncle spit/ Gargantuesque, but it's very logical and cool line."
