รa chauffe 9a FA by Tanguy Merard (16)
Tanguy MERARD ๐ฆ, who has onsighted 12 8a's, has done his first 9a, รa chauffe in Seynes. He comments to Fanatic Climbing, "This route required to me a lot of patience and perseverance (something like 10 days), it was a harder process compared to my 2 previous 8c+ sends (โLes grandes bouches du Rhรดneโ and โSan Ku Kaiโ) so I propose 9a."
Interesting is that he started training hard less than two years ago and since then he has had extraordinary progress, although also doing easier routes. His pyramid base is solid with 60 routes 8a and harder the last 12 months. (c) Williams Belle
