Pepa Šindel, 16, ticks Pornographie (9a)

Pepa Šindel, who did his first 9a+ at age 14, has sent Pornographie (9a) in Céüse. "Low percentage move to a 2 finger pocket than an endurance finish. Done without knee pad and at 34°C ☠️"

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
The main goal of my stay in Céüse was the legendary Biographie 9a+, but than I changed my mind at the last moment and tried Pornographie 9a. It is a 20-meter power-endurance line on small crimps. The main difficulties lie in the difficult intro, hard crux where it is very difficult to stick a low percentage move to a two-finger pocket. This is followed by rest and an endurance finish. The whole time it was terribly hot in France, every day the temperatures exceeded 33°C and the micro crimps just do not stick in such conditions... Last week I fought for a send every single try and fell after the crux due to a lack of endurance or often due to a fatal mistake. That's why I'm glad that I was able to climb the route even in such weather.
