UKClimbing reports that Stevie Haston has done his second 9a, Fred Rouhling´s Hugh at Les Eaux Claire (those not familiar with the route, it is a overhanging pocket fest with a dyno and was chipped back in the days when chipping was the „natural“ thing to do). The progress of the 52-year-old is remarkable as he has only recently started focusing back to sport climbing from mountaineering and snowboarding. This guy is an inspiration and a hero!
