Vojta Trojan and Jáchym Cink climb La moustache qui fâche (9a+)

Vojta Trojan, with eleven 9a’s under his belt, has completed La moustache qui fâche (9a+) in Entraygues.

Can you tell us more about doing your first 9a+?
The route is pure power endurance with just a few places to shake. You basically start and never stop until the anchor. There’re some cruxy sequences, but overall it’s quite consistent eventho the last few meters are slightly easier. In total there is around 40 moves.

I still managed to fall in the last “easy part” 3 times. Somehow it’s not so easy after the whole route haha! I’ve been trying the route already last summer and felt quite close to send. This year I felt the same, but still I couldn’t succeed. In the end I felt I wouldn’t do it even this year. On the last day of 3 weeks trip and on the last try I managed to send the route. It’s crazy how the pressure helps sometimes. In total it took me something around 25 days to finish this route, but honestly I stopped counting a long time ago :D

I’ve been chasing this grade for a long time and it’s huge relief to know that I got what it takes. There’s been a lot of ups and downs, lots of doubts and failures. But yeah.. in the end I managed to send an amazing route in amazing place and I experienced so much and that’s what matters!

Also Huge shoutout to my friend Jáchym Cink who sent the route just few days before me! I would like to thanks to my sponsors and all the people who supported me on the journey and shared the process with me. Jáchym and Adrian for syke and betas in the route. And most of all to my girlfriend Lucie for believing in me and her endless support! Without you it wouldn’t be possible!
