Pantera 9a and close on Corona 9a+ by Pirmin Bertle

Pirmin Bertle, who previously has done two 9b FAs and two 8C+' FA, has done Pantera 9a in Frankenjura. He was also close to sending Corona 9a+. "It was NOT my goal to hamper the fight against Covid-19 with this, but not to let pass great sending conditions is part of my job as a climber – when many other things like slide shows, workshops, and training fall apart. The risk of having an accident in such a well-equipped overhanging route after so many years of climbing is extremely low and at Schneiderloch there was as usually no one around." More comments on his blog - The almost perfect Corona day. It should be mentioned that the crag is just 10 km from his home and his belayer was his wife, who is a doctor. They stayed at the crag just over an hour, as he had warmed up at home, and they were alone the whole time. Furthermore, there is no general restrictions for climbing as long as you climb together with the ones you live together with.
