Loic Zehani FAโ€™s The come back (9a+)

Loic Zehani, with 18 FAโ€™s 9a+ or 9b to his name, has done the FA of The come back (9a+) in Gargantua. โ€Start with the new route "dynamite" just to the right of "satan" , then the middle part of "plรฉnitude cรฉrรฉbrale", the shoulder movements of "uncle spit" to finish with the bouldery L2 of "gargantuesque".

Very hard first ten moves until "satan L1"(more or less 8c+) , then a very physical and powerfull 8b+ (25 moves) end for finish an 8b more fingery and bouldery. First big redpoint after my ankle injury I am very happy! Gargantua cave is perfect for not getting hurt my ankle again.โ€


What is coming up next?
I donโ€™t have any specific plans. First, Iโ€™d like to fully recover from my injury, which was only a month ago (a total ligament tear in my ankle). Then Iโ€™ll just climb routes I enjoy and enjoy myself. ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿฝ
