15 Jun 1st 9a for Sebastien Boussogne

 

The French climber Seb Boussogne (1979) has achieved his first 9a "La directe du crapaud" in St. Pancrasse cliff, near Grenoble.

The route was bolted by Quentin Chastagnier in Tétard park sector and redpointed  in February by Manu Romain who suggested   the grade " hard 8c + or 9a."

"I think it’s a hard 8c + 9a" – Romain said – "especially after that Mike Fuselier broke a hold, but I expect the opinion of the repeaters".
 
The route starts with a boulder, followed by  15  very athletic moves, then a good rest and a further 4 bloc moves,  to end in a face climb.

 
The crag of St Pancrasse (or Luisset) is a climbing site near Grenoble overlooking  Grésivaudan valley, with numerous routes of all levels.


Few days ago, Seb sent "La fée grenouille" 8c+ in the same crag.
