Mathieu Bouyoud does two 9aโ€™s

Mathieu Bouyoud, with 44 routes 9a and beyond under his harness, has sent La Reina Mora (9a) in Siurana and El Gran Bellanco (9a) in Montanejos.

Can you tell us more about the trip and those ascents?
We climbed in Siurana for 10 days. I came very close on the first try to climbing โ€œLa Reina Mora,โ€ but I fell at the end of the La Rambla section. I gave it two more tries to finish it. After that, it became very hot for climbing in Siurana, so we moved to Montanejos to finish a two-year-old project, โ€œEl Gran Bellanco.โ€ I sent it on the second day.

What is your next plan?
Norway and Flatanger. We will go there June 8th and come back 14th of July.
