Italy's Claudia Ghisolfi has sent what many consider the best 9a in France, Trip tik tonik in the Gorges Du Loup. The 29-year-old started trying the route at the end of July and made rapid progress, but then climbing partner Giovanni Placci broke a hold, making the crux significantly harder.
"It's a route where the difficulty is concentrated in two sections. The first five bolts tire you out a bit, then you reach the crux" she explained, adding "Once you've passed the crux, you mustn't let anxiety take over and need to stay focused for about twenty meters of 8a+/b."
Ghisolfi returned last week and sent on Saturday, bringing her tally of 9a's to two after TCT at Gravere in 2022.
