| Grade | Route | Crag | Date | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9a | La Real Tierra de Nadie | Juncosa | 3 November, 2020 | 4 |
| Probably equally difficult like Tierra de Nadie, maybe even easier, 1st go after TdN. | ||||
| 9a | La Ley Indignata | Barcelona / Margalef | 9 November, 2020 | 3 |
| Left start into La Ley Innata. | ||||
| 9a | Der lange Atem | Vienna / Höllental | 29 June, 2013 | 3 |
| A kind of weird route - frist pitch is super hard, I am quite sure that it can be 8c+. Then there is super comfy ledge and the second pitch felt easier than the first pitch, at least for me. All together, second pitch makes it psychologically harder for sure and it could be somewhere around 9a. Fell off the third move 2nd and 3rd go and then sent it. | ||||
| 9a | The Right of Passage | Flatanger | 2 July, 2016 | 5 |
| First Ascent Amazing extension of Andre Hoyre. Now finally goes up to the easy terrain and the top is not easy... Flatanger at its best in its left less steep part. | ||||
| 9a | Transcription | Interlaken / Charmey | 13 December, 2014 | 5 |
| First Ascent 2nd GO Fun bouldering in tiny fingercrack. Topout in Chromosome Y. | ||||
| 9a | Black Cobra (2) | Herculane | 13 May, 2018 | 5 |
| First Ascent Just amazing wall! Hard to give it a grade, maybe only 8c+, temps were not the best. Keeps going to the next anchor we put - even further extension the way it was bolted is super hard, more logical is putting a new two bolts and finish on the left -- to be continued. | ||||
| 9a | Der heilige Gral | Frankenjura / Kolosseum | 12 September, 2009 | 5 |
| Magical! Has not been dry since 2005! Maybe easy 9a, but way harder than most of other 8c+ in fj | ||||
| 9a | Gancho Perfecto | Margalef / Finestra | 31 July, 2011 | 5 |
| The finish is the killer! Except it felt easy now, but could be possibly 9a+ | ||||
| 9a | Xaxid hostel | Osp/Misja Pec | 16 November, 2009 | 3 |
| 3 goes (+ 3 goes in Ekstaza 2 years ago), definately the hardest in Misja pec, I would go rather for hard 9a than 9a+, climbed in terrible humidity | ||||
| 9a | The Elder Statesman | Frankenjura / Rotenstein | 28 October, 2013 | 5 |
| 2nd GO close to flashing, fired it off 20mins later. Thanks for beta Alex! 1st 9a of the day | ||||
| 9a | Happy Day | Barcelona / Oliana | 10 February, 2017 | 5 |
| First Ascent 2nd GO 9a/a+, super crimpy and weird moves, which is my style. Extension of Happy Hour. Bolted by Dani and Jon Cardwell? | ||||
| 9a | Fuck The system | Barcelona / Santa Linya | 6 February, 2008 | 3 |
| 3.go, normal for grade I think | ||||
| 9a | Walk the line | Innsbruck / Zillertal | 14 July, 2020 | 4 |
| Amazing diagonal line first asended by Jakob Schubert this spring. Really hard start that took me a long time to figure out, into some kneebaring and easier climbing, into pumpy finish. One try to check the moves, one more try to work the moves at the bottom and then epic fight on my third try | ||||
| 9a | Victimas Perez | Margalef / Finestra | 30 November, 2020 | 3 |
| My nightmare, tried a few days back in 2015, a few days this trip, usually tired and when conditions were too bad for Perfecto. Today sent with severe humidity. | ||||
| 9a | Condé de choc | Montpellier / Entraygues | 31 May, 2012 | 5 |
| nice bouldery start, clipping the third bolt is the crux | ||||
| 9a | Definicion de resistencia democrata | Barcelona / Terradets | 4 February, 2016 | 3 |
| 2nd GO | ||||
| 9a | Northern Lights | Kilnsey | 3 May, 2010 | 5 |

| First Ascent Yes! 2 days | ||||
| 9a | Senzace | Krkavka | 18 September, 2020 | 4 |
| reclimbed after a hold broke, probably low-end 9a | ||||
| 9a | Marsupilami | Kochel | 23 June, 2013 | 5 |
| overall it is a nice line with hard boulder on the top. | ||||
| 9a | Under Vibes | Arco / Massone | 15 May, 2016 | 3 |
| harder than Underground, hard 9a for sure, but for me not 9a+. | ||||
| 9a | Made in Poland | Podzamcze | 4 December, 2014 | 5 |
| oh yeees,100th 9a and harder, took me 8 years to do them. This one was a special climb, completely vetical pocket climbing with super slippery footholds, especially if it is as cold as today! 3rd go, would have been second go if drone crash hadn't happened next to me on my second go | ||||
| 9a | Thunder ribes | Arco / Unknown Crag | 1 May, 2018 | 3 |
| 9a | Hades | Innsbruck / Nassereith | 23 August, 2009 | 5 |
| 9 goes in total, hard for me, a few chipped holds but quite good route, props to Patxi for 2nd go ascent later in the day! | ||||
| 9a | Era Vella | Margalef / La visera de la coma | 30 July, 2011 | 5 |
| 2nd GO way more pumped than in the onsight, but I somehow battled my way up | ||||
| 9a | Life's Blood for Downtrodden | Frankenjura / Vergessene Welt | 30 October, 2009 | 5 |
| 2 days, strange and hard to figure out, but very cool route | ||||
| 9a | Sever The Wicked Hand | Frankenjura / Hängender Stein | 28 October, 2013 | 5 |
| tried two days before in severe humidity, now did it 1st go while clipping the draws in. 3rd 9a of the day, even though this one must be pretty soft | ||||
| 9a | Jungfrau Marathon | Interlaken / Gimmelwald | 4 October, 2016 | 5 |
| Such a bummer not to have onsighted this one! Messed up the sequence so badly and continued to the top straight after the fall. Then sent the following morning in the full sun. | ||||
| 9a | La novena enmienda | Barcelona / Santa Linya | 5 February, 2008 | 5 |
| my birthday, without rest in hole 9a+, with the rest it is not much harder than Traversia de la Enmienda | ||||
| 9a | La Sensación del Bloque | Valle de los Cóndores | 24 November, 2018 | 5 |
|
One day ascent. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 9a | Duele la realidad R2 | Barcelona / Oliana | 23 April, 2012 | 5 |
| 2nd GO fell off the last move of first pitch (8c+) in onsight, lowered myself down and sent it the next day, onsighting the second pitch. Frustrating end of the trip, failed to finnish off my ultimate project and revealing how close I was to onsight this thing. | ||||
| 9a | Cizí agent | Moravský kras | 3 December, 2015 | 3 |
| First Ascent crazy humid morning, but i crimped hard enough. Super specific route on micro holds in the vertical wall | ||||
| 9a | north star | Kilnsey | 2 May, 2010 | 5 |
| 4th go, normal 9a for tall peoplel, harder for short ones | ||||
| 9a | Underground | Arco / Massone | 19 April, 2014 | 3 |
| 4 goes in total. First try flash in 2011 - fell off from the top. 2012 - retro flash and fell off from the top. 2014 - retro onsight/flash (as I forgot the sequence) and fell off from the top. Sent 30mis later. | ||||
| 9a | Hello | Hell | 17 September, 2017 | 3 |
| First Ascent Hell is project free!!! | ||||
| 9a | Weiße Rose | Innsbruck / Schleier Wasserfall | 13 September, 2008 | 5 |
| Yess! very solid for that grade in my opinion, with good conditions much better, maybe 9a+ I do not know | ||||
| 9a | Athena Natural | Arco / Massone | 4 September, 2020 | 3 |
|
Athena climbed without artificial holds (there are two - undercling chipped into the ball in the end of the roof, and the ball right above it). I almost did second go in 2018, then I broke a foothold on my 3rd try and then gave it maybe 15 tries over the last 2 years?! In the end, I found better beta and did it today while being tired and with approaching darkness. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 9a | Illusionist | Flatanger | 27 May, 2013 | 5 |
| First Ascent I bolted this unimpressive line by chance as I had my static rope already hanging with the intention to make bouldery 8a-b as a good way warm up fingers before the projects. It turn out to be much harder than expected. Mini route with some cool moves, better than looks. | ||||
| 9a | Procesor | Visnove | 4 May, 2016 | 3 |
|
First Ascent. Pumpier finish to Proces in Los Brnos, 9a/a+. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 9a | TCT | Gravere | 11 July, 2014 | 3 |
| nice satisfaction after the lost Chamonix World cup. A tribute to Tito Traversa first ascended by Stefano Ghisolfi | ||||
| 9a | Puro Dreaming | Arco / Massone | 23 February, 2018 | 3 |
| First Ascent | ||||
| 9a | Om | Endstal | 14 June, 2009 | 5 |
| 6 goes, 2 days, beautiful climbing in rather alpine type of rock, props to Alex | ||||
| 9a | Rainshadow | Malham | 17 May, 2011 | 5 |
| Honestly one of the best climbs I have done, only Raindogs could be less polished | ||||
| 9a | The Essential | Frankenjura / Luisenwand | 28 October, 2009 | 5 |
| 3 days, on the top climbed directly without right crack from Kaum Zeit zum atmen | ||||
| 9a | The House of Shock | Frankenjura / Rotenstein | 28 October, 2013 | 3 |
| 2nd GO tough bouldering on tiny holds... 2nd 9a of the day, the hardest of the three | ||||
| 9a | Little Badder | Flatanger | 22 August, 2016 | 5 |
| Finally got to do this exit too... | ||||
| 9a | Perla východu | Moravský kras | 16 September, 2007 | 5 |
| First Ascent very hard, nice and tricky. Yeaaaaah! | ||||
| 9a | Classified | Frankenjura / Holzgauer Wand | 28 September, 2015 | 3 |
| 2nd GO 9a/a+? so close on Modified after the ascent of Classified, such a bummer. nice to be outside after unlucky Puurs. Feeling strong. | ||||
| 9a | Assassin | Smith Rocks (OR) / Unknown Crag | 9 November, 2018 | 3 |
|
2nd GO 2nd ascent, crazy route with different sections and good rests in between. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 9a | Joe-cita | Barcelona / Oliana | 20 April, 2012 | 5 |
| First Ascent first go, link up of Joe Blau and Marroncita. Most of the climb was onsight or flash, except the end of second pitch of Marroncita (8b) | ||||
| 9a | Tanec kuřátek | Jáchymka, Mor.kras | 30 March, 2010 | 5 |
| First Ascent crazyy! narrow but long cave with tricky moves. After bouldery start, pumpy climbing follows difficult chimney where only your calfs are getting pumped, test of my new drill successful :-) | ||||
| 9a | Napalm in the Morning | Vienna / Adlitzgraben | 15 March, 2014 | 3 |
| Brilliant line, but it all comes down to two single moves. FA by Berni Fiedlernsome years ago, some holds have broken since then supposedly and hasn't been reclimbed. It could be harder than the neigbouring Erfolg ist trainierbar,but I have no clue about the grade of that one either. Maybe just hard 8c+. | ||||
| 9a | Flammen Inuti | Flatanger | 6 August, 2017 | 5 |
| First Ascent suprisingly good addition to the cave. Start like Elden Inuti, before the last bolt of the first pitch keep going right and low. Then join Halibut. With the anchor at the first pitch of Elden Inuti 8c+/9a. | ||||
| 9a | Action Directe | Frankenjura / Waldkopf | 19 May, 2008 | 5 |
| the masterpiece | ||||
| 9a | Beginning | Arco / Eremo di San Paolo | 3 September, 2020 | 3 |
|
2nd GO Very resistant climbing. I found a kneebar and that made the route less bumpy, which might make it only 9a. Checked the moves and did it next go. But I had done St Anger in the past and tried Zauberfee before. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 9a | Hakuna Matata | Milano / Cubo | 18 April, 2013 | 3 |
| 3rd go, pumpy | ||||
| 9a | Proces | Visnove | 4 May, 2016 | 3 |
| very happy to send it despite humid and greasy conditions | ||||
| 9a | La prophétie des grenouilles | Fournel | 11 July, 2014 | 5 |
| 2nd GO ALMOST second 9a onsight in one day! broke a hold after the crux! | ||||
| 9a | Retour Gagnant | Avignon / St Léger | 31 January, 2018 | 5 |
| First Ascent Done with a headlamp in the end of the day. Waiting for the big projects to dry up, hopefully... | ||||
| 9a | Los Revolucionarios | Kalymnos / Odyssey | 25 May, 2009 | 5 |
| 6 tries, 3 days, big moves on strange holds, depens on conditions and your height | ||||
| 9a | Echolokace | Býčí skála, Mor.kras | 17 October, 2010 | 5 |
| First Ascent The weirdest boulderproblem ever! Great line and moves though! | ||||
| 9a | Pantera | Frankenjura / Schneiderloch | 10 October, 2009 | 5 |
| 4 days, two falls from last hard move | ||||
| 9a | Purgatory | Hell | 21 July, 2013 | 5 |
| First Ascent one day last year, second go this year. Perfect power endurance route | ||||
| 9a | Valhalla | Flatanger | 29 July, 2016 | 5 |
| First Ascent Odins Eye extension, all the way to the final rail of Thor's. Incredibly massive pitch of ultra tiring climbing, at least 65 meters. Possibly one of the harder 9a's, but not 9a+. Bolted by Joe Kinder | ||||
| 9a | Abyss | Nice / Gorges du Loup | 1 August, 2007 | 5 |
| 3.GO,not sure about grade,maybe 8c+/9a I dont know | ||||
| 9a | Witchhammer | Flatanger | 26 August, 2015 | 5 |
| First Ascent 2nd GO A new line bolted by Adam Pustelnik. Starts with a first few bolts of Nordic Flower and goes left, crossing Thors Hammer in the roof and going into the Brunhilde for the final crux. Really fun climbing, different sections with rests in between, never easy. Flatanger at its best. | ||||
| 9a | Macedonian Trip | Mavrovo | 16 October, 2018 | 5 |
| First Ascent Project bolted by Klemen Becan in 2014. Amazing tufa line, almost 50 meters of perfection. 3 goes | ||||
| 9a | Biologico | Arco / Unknown Crag | 8 April, 2012 | 3 |
| First Ascent 1 day ascent, bolted by Loris Manzana | ||||
| 9a | A Muerte | Siurana / Can Piqui Pugui | 4 March, 2010 | 3 |
| 3 tries 2010,2 2008, easy 9a, but harder that 8c+ | ||||
| 9a | Todos los santos | Roc Galliner | 6 February, 2014 | 5 |
| First Ascent Amazing line to the left Ni Blog Ni Facebook. Slightly overhanging face on crimps. Unique place totally worth the hike. 3 goes. Bolted by David Gambus | ||||
| 9a | La Terza Eta | Camaiore | 21 April, 2017 | 5 |
| First Ascent 4 goes, ultra tired and ultra fight, but somehow I did not fall... | ||||
| 9a | Unplugged | Frankenjura / Hardcorewändchen | 1 May, 2008 | 5 |
| finally! so hard for for me! 5days?, took me the most time like no other | ||||
| 9a | Mia | Vranjača | 25 July, 2020 | 5 |
| First Ascent Amazing 50m line in an amazing cave close to Paklenica. Hard to say about the grade, after 25m of 8a/a+ you get into resistant section with weird crux which I think suits my style, even though after having worked the moves it is max 8c+. Possibly 8c+/9a. 3rd go. | ||||
| 9a | Palestina | Cuenca | 13 February, 2013 | 5 |
| such a bummer not onsight it, but shit happens. Next time I can more lucky | ||||
| 9a | More | Medveja | 26 March, 2016 | 5 |
| First Ascent What a day! 3rd go, very intricate climbing on small holds and big moves | ||||
| 9a | Ira | Bilbao / Baltzola | 10 May, 2014 | 5 |
| First Ascent shares the artificial start with Tas Tas, then goes straight via some funky moves in between stalactites. bolted by Patxi, humidity | ||||
| 9a | La Teoria del Gesto | Rome / Sperlonga | 21 December, 2017 | 3 |
| First Ascent Climb most of Grandi Gesti, keep left all the way to the Cavalieri Selvaggi anchor. Unfortunately good kneebar before the final crux, which is reachy and all about srrange fingerlock | ||||
| 9a | Roby in the Sky | Calanques / Unknown Crag | 3 January, 2009 | 3 |
| 11. go | ||||
| 9a | Le Cadre Nouvelle Version | Provence / Céüse | 5 September, 2010 | 5 |

| 9a | Im Reich des Shogun | Basler Jura | 30 September, 2009 | 5 |
| 2nd ascent after Eric Talmadge (props to him), 2 days, 5 tries, amazing structure of rock | ||||
| 9a | Cabane au Canada | Sion/SW / Rawyl | 9 July, 2013 | 5 |
| Long-term dream came true when I did not even expect it. I travelled to this incredible area, thinking that the route would be pretty dirty and abandoned after a long winter, but I found it perfectly cleaned with the draws hanging in. I admit that it is definitely not hard 9a, it definitely rather lower end, but it fits my style, I felt in very decent shape and I fought hard! For the first time in my life, I onsighted a route which had been suggested 9a and I could honestly believe that it could be in the 9a region. For all the others it was simply not case, even though it is very hard to judge it while you are onsighting. Beautiful moment and experience in the early morning session in some of the most breathtaking sportclimbing-wall I have ever seen. | ||||
| 9a | Super Finale | Sion/SW / Rawyl | 17 July, 2016 | 3 |
| First Ascent Hyper Finale and half way up into Etoile de Maya. | ||||
| 9a | Erfolg ist trainierbar reclimbed | Vienna / Adlitzgraben | 22 April, 2007 | 5 |
| 4.Go,hard to grade it,specific moves,it could be 8c, 8c+ or 9a-as autor gave,cool boulder | ||||
| 9a | Brunhilde low start | Flatanger | 25 August, 2015 | 5 |
| First Ascent A new line to the left of Thors Hammer bolted by Elliot Ashe. Has a jumar start and it is probably at hard 8c, but with the start from the groung through the crux of Thors Hammer, it is a good 9a for sure. Unfortunately fell from my onsight from the jumar start, then refreshed the moves in TH and then sent it in the sun! | ||||
| 9a | Interklemezzo | Kanjon Tijesno | 22 September, 2018 | 3 |
| First Ascent Amazing wall in Bosnia close to Banja Luka. It was bolted by Peter Schwamberger and during two days at Chill&Drill Fest I made the first ascent. First pitch is 8b+, then hard boulderproblem into technical finish. More projects waiting | ||||
| 9a | To tu jeste nebylo | Labák | 18 March, 2012 | 5 |
| First Ascent Together with Ondra Benes opened ground up this line which had been initially bolted from the top by Germans who adittionally chipped two holds. The bolts were chopped off and the line abandoned as it was. Awesome sustained climbing | ||||
| 8c+ | The voice | Sardinia / Domusnovas | 24 October, 2009 | 5 |
| First Ascent fine boulder, good piece of rock | ||||
| 8c+ | Banana Ballet | Flatanger | 29 September, 2012 | 5 |
| First Ascent the oldest project in cave, crazy crux with dancing on smears using only undercuts above your head | ||||
| 8c+ | politicamente corruptos | Margalef / Unknown Crag | 15 February, 2017 | 3 |
| onsight, just did the other 8c+ 7 years ago which share the same start (more or less 7c+). 8c+/9a in the guidebook | ||||
| 8c+ | Reality Check | Innsbruck / Schleier Wasserfall | 6 July, 2008 | 5 |
| another surprise of the day, 8b+ and the very insecure boulder (my beta is dyno) Btw, Open Air is 9a+ for sure (no chance yesterday) | ||||
| 8c+ | Infinity | Frankenjura / Eldorado | 8 August, 2006 | 3 |
| 9 tries | ||||

| 8c+ | Charlie and the Cat | Cimbergo | 26 June, 2011 | 5 |
| First Ascent 2nd GO good moves, flash was not so far | ||||
| 8c+ | Silent Menace | Squamish / Unknown Crag | 15 February, 2015 | 3 |
| 2nd GO | ||||
| 8c+ | Tres Satelites | Jaen | 17 March, 2013 | 5 |
| First Ascent an established project with one artificial hold, the rest is truly phenomenal climbing. Should have flashed, such a punter. Out of two weeks, I could climb on my ultimate project for one day - so frustrating! SO much rain, so many seeping holds... But still loving Andalucia! | ||||
| 8c+ | Inception | Nezer Cave | 30 November, 2017 | 5 |
| First Ascent 8c+/9a, amazing power endurance climbing. Starts right of Matrix, then crosses it to the left | ||||
