Second 9a FA by Loic Zehani (14)

Loic Zehani, who did his first 9a being 13 years old but recorded it as an 8c+, has done his second 9a FA, L'enfance prolongรฉe in Orgon. - This is a route bolted by Thomas Sandri two years ago. It is a nice regular overhang, very resistant climbing on pockets with an section 7B+ FB in the middle. After this first 32 moves: It's "la belle enfance" (8c+). You have a rest. After that you have a nice part, less overhang on a nice black rock. This part (23 moves) is around 8a+. The first part took me 17 tries but I knew perfectly the second part and I don't fall in. I am so happy because it's THE LINE of this nice little sEctor of Orgon.The rock is completly different than the famous "canal" of Orgon.
