Supercrackinette 9a+ by Seb Berthe

Seb Berthe, who had a personal 8c+ personal best six months ago, reports on Insta that he has done Supercrackinette 9a+ in St Léger. The Belgium is famous for all his big wall adventures around the globe. (c) Julia Cassou Full length interview at Fanatic Climbing.

"It’s my second route in the 9th gr ade, I also climbed “Speed integral” this summer, but may be you missed that because I repeated it very quickly (laugh)! Whatever the grade, it’s all the time incredible to send a route at your limits, with some physical and mental abilities required. After the send, you understand all the things you put together for clipping the anchor. The most complicated the process is, the strongest is the happyness at the end! It’s not the 9th grade which is bringing to me some joy, but the energy I put in the project."
