Loic Zehani makes quick work of, Coup fourrรฉ 9a
Loic Zehani continues his fine form by making the first repeat of Manu Lopezโs Coup fourrรฉ (9a) in Faron nord needing only three attempts.
โItโs 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

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
