Seb Bouin on Beyond Integral (9b/+)
French climber Seb Bouin has released a video of his latest (and hardest first ascent) at Pic St Loup, a crag local to his home in Montpellier. The video is notable not just for the difficulty of the climbing—which is well-captured—but also the quality of the cinematography. The route is in the very top tier of difficulty, with only a handful of other sport routes in the world graded around the 9b+ to 9c mark. Given the similarity of the rock and features to Kahurangi's own Fyfe River Gorge, perhaps this route is an example of what might be climbed there in the future!
