|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9a | Ciudad de dios | Barcelona / Santa Linya | 5 February, 2016 | 3 |
| Second go, but I had tried the sections before, as this is only connection | ||||
| 9a | El Potro | Barcelona / Margalef | 26 November, 2020 | 4 |
| First Ascent. Start like Bumaye, then go straight up. Really good short power endurance. | ||||
| 9a | Orca | Innsbruck / Schleier Wasserfall | 15 July, 2020 | 3 |
| It is an Alex Huber FA back from 2001 that was not repeated. I tried it back in 2009 and could the crux moves even as a single move, but then I made the FA of "harder" (longer) exit to the right which was another project by Alex calling it Fugu 9a. Orca still remained mystery for me. In 2017 I finally unlocked a new sequence to the left but could not do it that day. Today I did it in 3 tries. Really hard to grade, but despite it is much shorter than Fugu, I think it is at least equally hard. | ||||
| 9a | Mongo | Innsbruck / Schleier Wasserfall | 15 November, 2017 | 1 |
| no chance in the past, sent quickly this time | ||||
| 9a | Shortcut | Grenoble / La Balme | 3 August, 2010 | 5 |
| 2nd GO absolutely unsure about the grade, first part felt more like 8c+, then the whole route must be 9a. If it is only 8c,then it is not more than 8c+. | ||||
| 9a | Open your mind r2 | Barcelona / Santa Linya | 17 February, 2008 | 3 |
| I am not sure if second pitch makes it harder altough it is not easy | ||||
| 9a | Il Domani | Bilbao / Baltzola | 4 May, 2014 | 5 |
| Been waiting for this for such long time, saving for an onsight. Almost tried last year in less than ideal conditions, but the decision I made was good. Today everything was perfect, awesome teps and well rested, and that was just enough to send this beautiful route. Sooo happy. My hardest onsight ever 4sure. | ||||
| 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 | La Ley Indignata | Barcelona / Margalef | 9 November, 2020 | 3 |
| Left start into La Ley Innata. | ||||
| 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 | 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 | Gancho Perfecto | Margalef / Finestra | 31 July, 2011 | 5 |
| The finish is the killer! Except it felt easy now, but could be possibly 9a+ | ||||
| 9a | Punt'X | Nice / Gorges du Loup | 26 October, 2008 | 3 |
| I spent 3 days in summer and now did it second go! might be 9a+, very hard for 9a in my opinion, but 9a+??.. In this case, the slashgrade is the most relevant, natural except a few holds in the end | ||||
| 9a | Transcription | Interlaken / Charmey | 13 December, 2014 | 5 |
| First Ascent 2nd GO Fun bouldering in tiny fingercrack. Topout in Chromosome Y. | ||||
| 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 | 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 | Condé de choc | Montpellier / Entraygues | 31 May, 2012 | 5 |
| nice bouldery start, clipping the third bolt is the crux | ||||
| 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 | Definicion de resistencia democrata | Barcelona / Terradets | 4 February, 2016 | 3 |
| 2nd GO | ||||
| 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 | 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 | Ci sta | Arco / Laghel | 14 November, 2017 | 3 |
| First Ascent brutal boulderproblem | ||||
| 9a | Northern Lights | Kilnsey | 3 May, 2010 | 5 |
| great power endurance testpiece | ||||
| 9a | Fuck The system | Barcelona / Santa Linya | 6 February, 2008 | 3 |
| 3.go, normal for grade I think | ||||
| 9a | Back Road | Trentino / Unknown Crag | 22 April, 2014 | 5 |
| First Ascent 3rd go | ||||
| 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 | Senzace | Krkavka | 18 September, 2020 | 4 |
| reclimbed after a hold broke, probably low-end 9a | ||||
| 9a | Thunder ribes | Arco / Unknown Crag | 1 May, 2018 | 3 |
| 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 | Campo con corvi | Sardinia / Domusnovas | 20 October, 2008 | 5 |
| First Ascent Yes! 2 days | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | La Sensación del Bloque | Valle de los Cóndores | 24 November, 2018 | 5 |
|
One day ascent. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 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 | north star | Kilnsey | 2 May, 2010 | 5 |
| 4th go, normal 9a for tall peoplel, harder for short ones | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | Puro Dreaming | Arco / Massone | 23 February, 2018 | 3 |
| First Ascent | ||||
| 9a | Rainshadow | Malham | 17 May, 2011 | 5 |
| Honestly one of the best climbs I have done, only Raindogs could be less polished | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | The Essential | Frankenjura / Luisenwand | 28 October, 2009 | 5 |
| 3 days, on the top climbed directly without right crack from Kaum Zeit zum atmen | ||||
| 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 | Om | Endstal | 14 June, 2009 | 5 |
| 6 goes, 2 days, beautiful climbing in rather alpine type of rock, props to Alex | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | Perla východu | Moravský kras | 16 September, 2007 | 5 |
| First Ascent very hard, nice and tricky. Yeaaaaah! | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | Echolokace | Býčí skála, Mor.kras | 17 October, 2010 | 5 |
| First Ascent The weirdest boulderproblem ever! Great line and moves though! | ||||
| 9a | Action Directe | Frankenjura / Waldkopf | 19 May, 2008 | 5 |
| the masterpiece | ||||
| 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 | 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 | Pantera | Frankenjura / Schneiderloch | 10 October, 2009 | 5 |
| 4 days, two falls from last hard move | ||||
| 9a | Biologico | Arco / Unknown Crag | 8 April, 2012 | 3 |
| First Ascent 1 day ascent, bolted by Loris Manzana | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | A Muerte | Siurana / Can Piqui Pugui | 4 March, 2010 | 3 |
| 3 tries 2010,2 2008, easy 9a, but harder that 8c+ | ||||
| 9a | Abyss | Nice / Gorges du Loup | 1 August, 2007 | 5 |
| 3.GO,not sure about grade,maybe 8c+/9a I dont know | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | Le Cadre Nouvelle Version | Provence / Céüse | 5 September, 2010 | 5 |
| First Ascent 2nd go this year, 1 try five years ago of that 8c | ||||
| 9a | Unplugged | Frankenjura / Hardcorewändchen | 1 May, 2008 | 5 |
| finally! so hard for for me! 5days?, took me the most time like no other | ||||
| 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 | ||||
| 8c+ | Blut und Honig | Vienna / Höllental | 1 October, 2019 | 0 |
| A route which is very hard to grade. It is long but has many good rests, and the real difficulty is the low percentage crux way low down. Orginally graded 9a, I think it could be either 8c or 8c+. | ||||
| 8c+ | Volle Kraft voraus | Frankenjura / Winterleite | 22 September, 2007 | 5 |
| finally, great | ||||
| 8c+ | Super Ale | Verona / Covolo | 22 April, 2009 | 5 |
| an existing project, too hard for 8c, thus easy 8c+ | ||||
| 8c+ | L'Avaro | Tetto di Sarre | 13 July, 2011 | 1 |
| made me happier after unsuccessful comp in Chamonix even though it is from 90% manufactured | ||||
| 8c+ | Necessary evil | VRG | 24 February, 2015 | 5 |
| 2nd GO Should have definitely onsighted this one. Amazing one! | ||||
| 8c+ | chambao | Bilbao / Baltzola | 7 May, 2013 | 5 |
| super guapa, but being flexible, it could be a little easier... 9a was postponed due to terrible humidity...I will be back | ||||
| 8c+ | Yala Factor | Nezer Cave | 3 December, 2017 | 5 |
| First Ascent Amazing project from Ofer on the right side of the cave. He was so close to make FA on this trip, thanks Ofer for letting me try it! One of the best in the cave | ||||
| 8c+ | Three Suns and One Star | Frankenjura / Unknown Crag | 11 October, 2008 | 5 |
| completely my style | ||||
| 8c+ | Pull Over | Nice / Verdon | 7 August, 2010 | 5 |
| 2nd GO monster 50meters long roof | ||||
| 8c+ | Fonax | Innsbruck / Nassereith | 23 August, 2009 | 1 |
| interesting powerful moves, but chipped a lot | ||||
| 8c+ | Airva ese | Barcelona / Camarasa | 24 April, 2012 | 5 |
| 2nd GO could be 9a quite easily | ||||
| 8c+ | Sciddica | San Vito lo Capo / Unknown Crag | 7 May, 2016 | 5 |
| First Ascent very humid and it was a fight for life, but hard to give it a grade. Have no clue how it feels like with good temps | ||||
