Fred Rouhling does Bain de Sang (F9a)

Fred Rouhling has made the 3rd ascent of Fred Nicole´s Bain de Sang (F9a) at Saint Loup, according to 8a.nu (quoting Grimper Magazine in a very roundabout way); the second ascent by Francois Nicole. Fred only needed a few tries to nail it, apparently. The route was first done in 1993 and is ranked around the fourth-hardest in the world (or so..) We´ve struggled to find a picture of the route, which as we recall is a staggeringly smooth, surprisingly vertical route. ( Source: 8a.nu )
