New 9a by Rouhling

Kairn.com reports, Fred Rouhling has put up a new 9a called Mandallaz drive at d’Allonzier la Caille, France. This was the 4th route of 9a or harder that Fred's put up. Plus he's also repeated Fred Nicole's Bain de sang, 9a. Fred says he thinks it's a serious 9a, which stole one year of his life. It's a hard 8B+ boulder for the start (8 moves) and a 8b+ route (26 moves) to go to the top. It is 20 meters high. It's a beautiful grey route with crimps, slopers and pockets, a perfect technical wall. He enjoyed climbing this route.
