Yannick Flohรฉ does Corona (9a+)

Yannick Flohรฉ, who earlier this summer made the first ever 8C flash, has repeated Markus Bock Corona (9a+) in Frankenjura. The 26-year-old German has been a successful competition climber since 2014 and this year he was sixth overall in the Lead World Cup. .

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
It wasnโ€™t a big project, I went once in May and it was way to warm but I made it through the crux but slipped in the easy part. Never came back but sent it last trip pretty quickly after slipping again on the hold due do wet holds ๐Ÿ˜…

What are your next plans?
I want to climb Excalibur (9b+) and focus more on training again. Maybe some bouldering in Ticino but no plans yet.
