Mr. Big 9a by Loic Zehani
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.)
