โStart in "La chicha"( 5 moves ) then to the right with 4 super hard movements ( more or less 8A+ FB ) , then you have another hard section ( more or less 7C FB ) . These two sections are on natural holds ( little pinchs ) on a very big overhang . Once you get there you are at the beginning of "fast and furious" a long , resistant and physical 9a . To summarize : start in "la chicha" and finish in "joli son de clarine net". Very happy to climb this because it's a massive effort on big overhang ( + 60 movements ! ) and I am really close to my limit on the first crux . The line and the movements are very beautiful and original and It's very good to climb in . One of the hardest think I have done.โ
