Mattéo Soulé, 16, has done the FA of Trois pattes dans la chouffe (9a)
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
A link-up that I equipped and tried four sessions last year, and two sessions this year, to concretize the pure line very resistant in the roof of the "Trois pattes". You have to do almost all the crux of the 8c and then you arrive directly at the junction with the 8b+, 5/6 moves, 7B+ boulder, allow to reach the ramp of the 8b+ and finish in the crux of this one. A total of 25 very hard moves follow one after another without any rest. 9a to be confirmed of course but it seems rather coherent to me, the crux of the crossing is really harder than that of the Trois pattes.
What are your summer plans?
Training because of the world championships in August and the European championships in September.
