Loic Zehani FAโs La Sainte Poule (9a+)
Loic Zehani, who previously has done 17 FAโs 9a+ or 9b, has made the FA of La Sainte Poule (9a+) in Sainte-Baume. The picture is from his FA of Harder Better Faster Stronger (9b) from last autumn.
โNice line where everything happens in the first part. A dozen moves ( not the most beautiful ! ) that lead to a very nice and tricky boulder section ( about 8A over 3 moves ) , then after a rest (not good) another nice boulder section wich works the shoulders well ! The second part , much less harder, is very beautiful . Bolted by my father with "la Poule" 's points , thanks to him.โ

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
