Today’s topic is a bit special: forty-year-olds climbing 9a first ascents<\/strong> as if it is normal. You know Megos, who reminds us how hard a pitch of this grade is, even for a pro climber? Here, let’s discover these two stories…<\/p>\n Couples’ activities during the pandemic were all the rage and Joel Kinder<\/strong> was no exception. The activity that he has chosen with his wife Lindsey<\/strong> is a bit “alternative”, however, to the fashions that have depopulated in Italy. The two climbers have dedicated themselves to bolting new pitches! The last pitch released by Joel is a creation of his wife. Together, the two have “christened” it Tiger Kween<\/strong> and Kinder proposes the grade of 9a<\/strong>, defining the style of the route definitely “unconventional”. What a story!<\/p>\n Remaining in the “forty-year-olds who rock” area, how can we not mention the very strong BJ Tilden<\/strong>? Like Joel, BJ is over 40 too, yet the form seems to be not lacking at all. At the Sinks Canyon<\/strong> crag, Tilden has signed a new really tonic FA… 25 moves without any possibility of rest, enough to convince BJ to climb without a chalk bag! The result is Monkey from Hell<\/strong>, a shot that stands at grade 9a<\/strong>.<\/p>\n From athletes’ IG page<\/p>\n Alessandro Palma<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nice climbs on grade 9 signed by Joel Kinder and BJ Tilden Today’s topic is a bit special: forty-year-olds climbing 9a first ascents as if it is normal.
