Minyoung Lee does Soulmate (9b)
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Ever since I was young I have had respect to Sachi. When he sent Soul Mate I was interested so I contacted him and visited first time this crag. I really like this place and it took me a 3days to send it.
The first day I felt that’s a really hard route but I solved each move but I didn’t link the crux part and the not either on the second day. On the third day it just happened during the first attempt of the day. Suddenly everything became possible and it was a magical moment. I still can’t believe it.
I think 9b is a possible grade because I’ve done similar styles before, Furia de Jabali 9a+, so it was easy to compare. The main crux part have a similar grade I think both will be around v14 [8B+] but the other part of Soul mate is harder than Furia so I think it has a 9b potential.
