Mejdi Schalck's footage of Es Pontas (9a+)
Mejdi Schalck repeated Chris Sharmaโs Es Pontas (9a+) in October. โThe first sessions were not easy as it was my first-time deep water soloing. I wasnโt able to climb completely relaxed, but after a few days on the island, I was feeling way better!
I did the jump on my 4th sesh and then I sent the route on my 6th sesh, I fell many times on the very last crux of the route which gave me some trouble but after a big fight and a really good go I was able to send the route!
I chose to jump with 2 hands at the end because it felt way easier for me, this was I think one of the biggest keys for my send.
