First Hubble, now Action Direct: That's what Buster Martin says about the 9a classics

After five days of planning, Buster Martin had what is probably the most famous route in the Franconian Jura in his pocket.

Another 9a + for Will Bosi: Brandenburg Gate

The Scot Will Bosi is unstoppable. It was only just under a week ago that he succeeded in the first ascent of the 23-year-old Mutation (9a +) project in the Raven Tor climbing area. Now he announces another first ascent with the same level of difficulty: Brandenburg Gate. The video of the inspection can be found below in the article.

Will Bosi in an interview: Is mutation even 9b?

A few days ago the Scotsman Will Bosi succeeded in repeating the Mutation route in the Peak District. This is the first repetition of the route since Steve McClure's first free ascent 23 years ago. Will Bosi upgrades the route in terms of difficulty. Once again the question arises: Do the history books have to be rewritten?

Hubble is again rated 9a by Ben Moon. In retrospect, this makes Hubble - and not Action Directe - the first 9a in the world.
