Mr. Big 9a by Loic Zehani

Loic Zehani has done Mr. Big (9a) in Margalef. ”Stunning stamina route. 25 meters with a Boulder section just after the middle. Congrats Tom for bolting this wonderful route and for the first ascent. It took me 8 tries, 5 times I fell to catch this fucking two fingers pocket 😬 and one time at the top of the route slipping from the foot. 😂. I like this route so much. Thanks, Tomaso and Francesco for the pictures.”

What is next?
My next project is maybe an unrepeated route of Iker Pou, Artaburu. An incredible roof with crazy moves.

How much have you tried it and how hard is it?
Only yesterday one time for checking moves with the rain. Iker says it was his hardest route so at least 9b. (Article about Artaburu which Iker did the fa of in 2018.)
