Obsession 9b FA by Loic Zehani (17)

Loic Zehani reports on Insta that he has done a harder exit to a 9a+ in Orgon he did two months ago calling it Obsession 9b. "I needed 25 more tries for sending a harder exit, quite more resistant. It was an โ€œObsessionโ€ after falling 12 times in a move where I was falling only one time when I climbed โ€œLe Poisson pilotโ€. You need to climb all the integral version of โ€œLe Poisson piloteโ€ then you traverse on the right and you finish with the end of โ€œMollahs du mollardโ€ in a very resistant effort. 37 hard moves and a nice 6c/7a for the end. After reflexion, I propose 9b for this one. Itโ€™s a 9a+ into an 8b+ with a bad rest between. I would like some climbers will come and try the line despite some of the holds that are drilled (less than 10 on 37 hard moves). Itโ€™s not bad compared to Orgonโ€™s other sector, Canal.
