| 9a | Marsupilami | Kochel | 23 June, 2013 | 5 |
| overall it is a nice line with hard boulder on the top. | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | Fuck The system | Barcelona / Santa Linya | 6 February, 2008 | 3 |
| 3.go, normal for grade I think | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | Campo con corvi | Sardinia / Domusnovas | 20 October, 2008 | 5 |
| First Ascent Yes! 2 days | ||||
| 9a | Little Badder | Flatanger | 22 August, 2016 | 5 |
| Finally got to do this exit too... | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | Hakuna Matata | Milano / Cubo | 18 April, 2013 | 3 |
| 3rd go, pumpy | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | Directa Bongada | Barcelona / Margalef | 23 November, 2020 | 4 |
| First Ascent. Start like Directa Rodellar, finish in Bongada. It is link-up, but honestly, as a line it is the most direct and logical one. You do all the hard part from Directa Rodillar 8c+/9a, good kneebar and all the upper part of Bongada. Unfortunately the kneebar is too good to make any harder than hard 9a, maybe 9a/+, but definitely not 9a+. 1st real try after both Directa Rodillar and Bongada, in the very last minutes of the day. | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | Om | Endstal | 14 June, 2009 | 5 |
| 6 goes, 2 days, beautiful climbing in rather alpine type of rock, props to Alex | ||||
| 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 | Palestina | Cuenca | 13 February, 2013 | 5 |
| such a bummer not onsight it, but shit happens. Next time I can more lucky | ||||
| 9a | Perla východu | Moravský kras | 16 September, 2007 | 5 |
| First Ascent very hard, nice and tricky. Yeaaaaah! | ||||
| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | Action Directe | Frankenjura / Waldkopf | 19 May, 2008 | 5 |
| the masterpiece | ||||
| 9a | Super Finale | Sion/SW / Rawyl | 17 July, 2016 | 3 |
| First Ascent Hyper Finale and half way up into Etoile de Maya. | ||||
| 9a | El Potro | Barcelona / Margalef | 26 November, 2020 | 4 |
| First Ascent. Start like Bumaye, then go straight up. Really good short power endurance. | ||||
| 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 | ||||
| 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 | 9g | Gemona | 14 December, 2013 | 3 |
| First Ascent 2nd GO a bit of old-school chipping, but really fun to climb! Super continuous, like comp route. But there are more walls in the regions, need to come back! | ||||
| 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 | perfect man 2.0 | Albenga / Castelbianco | 20 April, 2017 | 5 |
| 2nd GO Climbs very well. | ||||
| 9a | La Ley Indignata | Barcelona / Margalef | 9 November, 2020 | 3 |
| Left start into La Ley Innata. | ||||
| 9a | Fabela pa la enmienda | Barcelona / Santa Linya | 31 January, 2010 | 5 |
| 1 go, big fight in the end of the day with wet holds and bad memory fro two years ago in Enmienda | ||||
| 9a | Southern Smoke Direct | Red River Gorge (KY) / Bob Marley | 29 October, 2012 | 5 |
| Hard to believe it, but it is true! two dazs ago felt bad, didn't know what to climb as I wanted to save onsights/flashes for another year, and now this came! thanks everyone for the beta and good vibes, moment I will never forget. Everything went so perfect. 9a benchmark I'd say. | ||||
| 9a | Abyss | Nice / Gorges du Loup | 1 August, 2007 | 5 |
| 3.GO,not sure about grade,maybe 8c+/9a I dont know | ||||
| 9a | BI HERRI, BORROKA BAT | La cova de l'ocell | 20 February, 2016 | 5 |
| 2nd GO One really morpho boulderproblem followed by technical topout. Hard to give it a grade too. Easier the taller you are. Must be incredibly hard for Ramon, hats off! | ||||
| 9a | Genius Loci | Zadar / Paklenica | 23 July, 2020 | 5 |
|
First Ascent Left start into Il Maratoneta. Adds very cruxy srart into the Maratoneta. Probably like short 8c/c+ into the crux of Maratoneta. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 9a | Psikoterapia | Bilbao / Valdegobia | 7 May, 2014 | 3 |
| power endurance | ||||

First Ascent Israelis first 9a. Left exit of Neo. Just below the crux of Neo head out left, hard 3D climbing boulderproblem at the end of the roof. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 9a | PPP | Nice / Verdon | 7 August, 2010 | 5 |
| First Ascent The line of the cave, though the climbing is not as nice as Pull Over. Not sure about the grade, probably harder than Pull Over, but maybe I am wrong because I did in the end of the day | ||||
| 9a | Aloha | Kronthal | 27 September, 2009 | 3 |
| 2 days, akward roof climbing, the hardest route on sandstone? | ||||
| 9a | Maitre Vauban und der Basilisk | Vienna / Höllental | 30 June, 2013 | 5 |
| this route very nice to climb! Different sections and some rests in between. Slipped 2nd go from the last move, 3rd go was all right | ||||
| 9a | Unplugged | Frankenjura / Hardcorewändchen | 1 May, 2008 | 5 |
| finally! so hard for for me! 5days?, took me the most time like no other | ||||
| 9a | Black Label | Frankenjura / Schneiderloch | 13 July, 2016 | 3 |
| 2nd GO 25mins | ||||
| 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 | Tierra de Nadie | Juncosa | 3 November, 2020 | 5 |
|
2nd GO suprisingly really good route, tensiony moves in a horizontal roof with legendary finish. Definitely kneepads make the route easier, probably soft 9a with kneepads. Props to Dani. Video available on my YouTube channel. |
||||
| 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+ | 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+ | Yala Factor | Nezer Cave | 3 December, 2017 | 5 |

| 2nd GO monster 50meters long roof | ||||
| 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+ | 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 | ||||
