Teahupoo 9a FA by Loic Zehani (18)

Loic Zehani, who previously has done nine FAs 9a to 9b, has done the FA of Teahupoo 9a which was bolted by his father. "The first part is vertical with a boulder problem on the first 2 meters. After that, you have a boulder section (7 moves) in overhang with an undercling up to a little two fingers pocket to get out of the roof and enter in a nice and technical wall. This route is very nice because it's very varied. It took me five days to complete this route because of the boulder section but also because of the wall section."
