23 Jan Rémy Bergasse: DTN 9a first ascent

 
French climber Rémy Bergasse sent on  Thursday, January 20, in Roquevaire (Bouches du Rhone), Déséquilibre Technique Nature – DTN – an extreme pitch bolted by  Paul Dewilde in the Graffiti area.
 
According to Remy, it should be a 9a route, the first of the cliff and the 4th of  Bouches du Rhone. The others should be: Sachidananda 9a + by Gérôme Pouvreau in Orgon, 9a + Aubade directe 9a+ also by Pouvreau at Ste-Victoire, and Roby in the sky 9a by  François Legrand at Les Goudes. 
 
DTN is a link between various routes, starting with the first part of Symbiose 8b +, which takes a section of resistance  around 8a +, continues straight on with a crux  on micro-holds 8A boulder and a final, technical but less difficult. Bergasse succeeded after forty attempts.
