Cedric Lachat climbing on the history of French mountaineering - Chimpanzodrome (7c+, Saussois)

Chimpanzodrome (7c+), on the Saussois crag, has long been considered the second hardest route in France. This legendary line is 15 metres long, straining the fingers all the way up. A test as dense as it is painful, despite its short extension.
In the winter of 2023, our Swiss ambassador Cedric Lachat (more than 50 career 9a ascents to his credit) decided to attempt Chimpanzodrome "onsight", i.e. without flights, without resting and, above all, without ever having previously researched the ascent. It is his tribute to the route and to the climbers who have tackled it before him, sometimes barefoot, free solo or even blindfolded.

What's most impressive to me is that after faffing around for ages on the boulder problem at the start, wasting a LOT of energy, he still has it in him to do the route while placing the quickdraws, clipping them and telling jokes at the headwall lol Trop fort le Cedric

Glad to see its super hard! Back then the climbing was different, to climb a benchmark it had to be be super technical and not straightforward power climbing. Good effort 🥳

c'est des cotations de barbares !?

@GuillaumeBroust Ай бұрын

on va dire plutôt d e l'époque... la décote c'était la mode, donc ça tasse plus les cotes vers le bas

Cedric the helicopter. Brrrr brrr. But jokes aside, that was fucking strong

Quasi sur qu'il rate au début le fameux croisé pour arriver main gauche, ça lui mange 2 minutes de galère pour se recaler et s'en sortir... Je n'ai pas enchainé Chimpan, juste travaillé en moul et fait en deux sections mais c'est très satisfaisant de voir que c''est aussi dur pour un grimpeur de 9a !!

@GuillaumeBroust Ай бұрын

oui c'etait pas loin de la chute, en plus on lui avait mis une bonne pression pour le run à vue !
