Mossoul 9b/+ FA by Loic Zehani

Loic Zehani has done the FA of Mossoul (9b) in Orgon. The 21-year-old has previously put up four 9b's and five 9a+' at the same crag. (c) Lunar Fox

"30 hard moves on a big overhang then an easy wall for the finish. In fact, it's a succession of 4 boulder sections without rest. A large part of Le poisson pilote (9a+) then a new and hard exit into the right. The movements are very varied and the climb is extremely physical. It's hard for me to give a grade to each bouldery sequence but I'll try: 8A/A+ (no rest) 7C+ (very bad rest) 8A hard (no rest) 7B and a 6c for the finish. Nowadays my hardest route and after "mature" reflections I propose 9b/b+ for this route. So happy to climb this stamina power test."
