Seb Bouin visited Croatia and made some amazing ascents!

Croatian Project

Virda 9a FA

(Pitch one of the project)

After adding a few bolts to an existing @kbecan25 route to make this king line possible, I’m stoked to bring the first part to life!

The route starts with a great 25m 8c+, followed by a juggy rest, and then a sick boulder problem on full-span tufa moves — that’s what bumps it up to 9a.

When I first bolted the line, it was hard to believe that this sequence could even go. The holds are so far apart that I didn’t think it would be possible that way.

After the 9a, the real crux of the project begins — the 9a feels almost like the “approach.”

I’ve already sent the 9a section 7 times, but always fell at the main crux.

That crux is something truly unique in a sport route. I’ll be sharing some footage of it soon!

This Croatian project is, for me, the main line of the crag — climbing through the most beautiful and overhanging part of the wall, with stunning and unusual moves.

More details about this inspiring project coming soon!
