This guy goes too fast… "

The route was bolted by Cédric Lo Piccolo and done by Alex Chabot in August 2007. It is about 20 meters of stamina and boulder problems without any good rest! Recently German Andreas Bindhammer did the 2nd redpoint and he thinks it is at least 9a+. Hotel Supramonte On Sight
