09 Oct David Lama opens Avaatara, 9a in Lebanon

David Lama opened a new spectacular route in Lebanon, exactly at Baatara Gorge. The pics speak alone: the beautiful of this locations is incredible! David explored this place with a local climber and at the end the two found this line where David realized the FA of Avaatara, the first 9a in Lebanon. On Red Bull site David says: “If you get to travel roads that have already been discovered, you’re basically just following. But if you go somewhere no one has ever been you’re basically in the lead and that’s something I really like. Lebanon is definitely a special place, it’s somehow a little bit exotic, a place that you don’t actually plan to go to as a climber, as it’s not really on the climbing map, and that’s one factor that drove me to come here.”
