Walk the line 9a by Christof Rauch
Christof is mainly a boulderer having done some 850 boulders 8A and harder out of which a dozen 8C's, although working full time. In the last two years, he has had some injury problems and this is why he has focused more on routes. This was the Austrian's fourth 9a the last year.
