Seb Bouin FAโs Wolf Kingdom (9b+)
Sebastien Bouin, who previously has done five 9b+โ and one 9c, reports on Instagram that he has completed the FA of Wolf Kingdom (9b+) in Pic St Loup. The french says it is a link-up of a 9a start followed by 9a+ climbing and only the 9a approach he has done 50 times. (c) Sam Bie
โWhat a wave of emotions to complete this project. Itโs one of the routes that has inspired me the most in my climbing career. I am proud and happy to add such a route to the climbing scene and to place Pic Saint-Loup on the worldwide map of climbing.โ
โWolf Kingdom is undoubtedly one of my best additions, one of the most fun, and one of the prettiest. I think it will be one of the most tried 9b+ routes in the future, considering its style of climbing. I think this route is my second hardest achievement.โ
Notably, when it comes to redpoints, Seb and Adam Ondra have comparably impressive ticklists.
