Mathieu Bouyoud FAโs Titanesque (9a+)
Mathieu Bouyoud, with 43 routes 9a and beyond under his belt, has done the first ascent of Titanesque (9a+) in La Balme de Yenne.
Can you tell us more about the first ascent?
Titanesque it s the longest route in La Balme, around 50 m long. It takes the Titan route and the end of Les Nuances du ciel, two others 9a routes. Two bolts and ten meters for the link-up were added. Many attempts were made to complete it. A long standing project that l equipped four years ago. I work on it every year.
