\nAndreas Bindhammer does the first repeats of two 9a\/9a+: the French testpiece PuntX (9a\/9a+) and the Tyrolean Big Hammer (F9a).
\n
\nAfter his two first ascents St. Anger (F9a) (Arco in Italy) and Hades (F9a) (Nassereith in Austria) Andreas Bindhammer visited the Cot\u00e9 d\u2019 Azur in September to try Alexandre Chabot\u2019s testpiece \u201cPuntX\u201d, first climbed by the French top-climber in summer 2007.The route is 20m high and 10m overhanging. But in September was too humid, \u00a0Andreas came back in October and finally do it.
\nThis is the first repetition of \u201cPuntX\u201d.
\nBack home, Andreas searched for a new challenge the unrepeated Big Hammer on the area Pinswang near Reutte\/Tyrol.
\n
\nThe route consists in a 15m crack at the grade F7c+, followed by some hard moves that bring the grade to F8b, followed by the hardest part after 20m of climbing. The crux moves could be graded as \u00a08a\/8a+.\u00a0 Andreas Bindhammer sends the route, opened by his brother Christian in autumn 2005 and graded with F9a.
