Loic Zehani makes quick work of, Coup fourrรฉ 9a

Loic Zehani continues his fine form by making the first repeat of Manu Lopezโ€™s Coup fourrรฉ (9a) in Faron nord needing only three attempts.

โ€Itโ€™s a nice and long route (40m). The first pitch is a 10 meter powerful 8b called Fuego, then you have a good rest followed by 25 hard moves without good feet. This part is both physical and technical as often on the north face (of this crag). The moves are varied with pockets, underclings and crimps. The last 15 meters are very easy. (But, being a) North face in February: hard to get warm fingers but very good holds.โ€
