Max Bertone, 16, does Redoublement d'effort (9a)

Max Bertone has sent Redoublement d'effort (9a) at Roche de rame. โ€Two days of rest after the TAB and thanks to a new beta (thanks Tanguy and Yannis) I can top this hard line for me. Physical and far moves... Definitively not in my style ! 4 sessions (with "La proue dรฉbridรฉe") and at least 6/7 tries needed for this short and powerful route.โ€

Can you tell us more about this line?
It is a two sections route. The first one is the hard section of ยซ La proue dรฉbridรฉe ยป (8c+). The second one is the hard section of a 8b+. Between the two sections there is a pretty good rest. The style of climbing is really powerful, from the beginning. I took a session to send the 8c+, so I thought that I could quickly send the hard variant but I was wrong. In the second session there is a hard crux of 6/7 moves and I was tired enough to fall when I came from the bottom. I donโ€™t know if itโ€™s harder than my first 9a route (TCT in Gravere), but Iโ€™m sure that itโ€™s harder for me because Iโ€™m not physically strong enough and prefer long endurance routes to short and nervous ones.
