9a FA by Mathieu Holtz
Mathieu Holtz, who previously has done eleven 8c's, has done the FA of Les rats sous-marins 9a in Bellosset after ten days of projecting. (c) Noyan Ronin
"Short route of about 20m slightly over-hanging. The effort is sustained all the way and includes a 32 move long power endurance section with no possibility to chalk up which caused me the main struggle. The route has got no broken holds and requires a good belay to avoid decking since I had to skip a heinous clip in the middle section and commit to the next hard sequence without falling."
