First 9c of the world. The climb begins with 20 meters of sustained 8b climbing to a knee-bar rest, before entering a 10-move 8C crux with some V13 and V9 cruxes towards the anchor. Set: Adam Ondra, 2012 FFA: Adam Ondra, 3 Sep 2017 | 45m | |||

9b+ | La Dura Dura
La Dura Dura means 'The Hard Hard', named as such because it was then regarded as one of the hardest rock climb in the world by non other that Chris Sharma . Chris tried the routes for years, describing it as "horrifyingly" difficult and perhaps "not for me", until he invited Adam to try. They figured new beta together and the route was finally freed by Adam Ondra in February 2013, the second 9b+ at the time (after Change 9b+ in Flatanger, also freed by Ondra) Chris Sharma and Adam Ondra regard it as being slightly harder than Change. No other climber has managed to repeat it yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1P97VVt6_k

The route is 45-degrees overhanging with a boulder problem to pull over into the final slab. 25 moves of 8c+ to reach a poor rest. Then 10 moves to reach the crux: a jump from a mono to a big pinch. Afterwards endurance 8b+ with few rests. Yellow rock at the bottom that goes to white and at the top it is grey. Set: Chris Sharma, 2009 FFA: Alex Megos, 9 May 2018 | 26m, 15 | |||

9b/b+ | La Rage d’Adam
An 8c section (the "approach walk") is followed by an almost blank 50° overhanging sequence that gave the route its name ("Adam's rage" because Adam Ondra came to try but could not decipher the beta). The boulder problem is then followed by an easier 8b . It took 5 years, on and off, for Seb to free the route. This first ascent comes just a few months after Seb repeated Move (Flatanger), another 9b/+. Checkout the video of his journey to climb this route.

5.15b | ★★★ Fight Club P2
CANADAS FIRST 5.15! Which took Megos 7-8 visits to Ravens for. Easy to spot walking into the crag, as the streaked nature of the line, makes it look like a massive, silver lighting bolt, into the cliff. Extremely delicate moves off micro holds, that look like nothing but dimples of limestone, go up the stunning, sharp streaked prow. The extension above the Orginal Prow Project that was bolted by Peter Arbic. Sonnie Trotter added 10 bolts creating Alex Megos' insane and mega steep, test piece. Another hard Boulder problem (Vhard) consisting of bad slopping dimples and tiny beyond micro-edges and a mad dash to the anchor!

There’s a very physical roof on pinches and pockets leading to a very crimpy exit on the final bulge" It took Adam 3 days to work the route and at the time was his fastest 9b ascent.

9a+/b | Les yeux plus gros que l'antre
Nicknamed the French Chilam Balam for its length and sustained difficulty. The route was bolted in the late nineties and is made of two parts: The first part (added later) is the extension start. The second part is the original "Les yeux plus gros que le ventre" (which means having eyes bigger than belly).
The first roof part is around 20-25 meters and weighs in around 8b+. After you reach a good rest and you can change your rope. Then you have a bouldery crux featuring a one finger pocket to reach another rest. Until here it could be an 8c route. Then there is one resistant 9a to do. This 9a part is starting with big tufas, and after this a series of bouldery sections: 7A, 7A, 7C+/8A and finally a 7B. All these boulder problems are amazing. Especially the redpoint crux of the route in the 7C+/8A boulder. There are incredible moves to finish on a tufa dyno.

As Traversi dputs it: “Empath is slightly overhanging, about 65 feet tall and it’s difficult all the way from the bottom to the anchors. It’s a power endurance test piece with very few resting positions. The minimal shake spots are on bad liebacks with smears for feet. The route revolves around squeezing this refrigerator-like feature from bottom to top. There are only two down-pulling holds on the entire route. One of the uniquely difficult aspects of the climb is that your left hand is always on the ‘good’ holds and your right hand is always on bad holds. Your left arm gets completely smoked, because there are few opportunities to rest it.” Set: Carlo Denali Traversi & Dave Wetmore, 2019 FFA: Carlo Denali Traversi, Oct 2020 | 20m | |||
