Now are the best climbing conditions in Gorges du Loup after a poor summer and a bad September, cloudy, humid and "cold"! It has been a chance for Andreas Bindhammer who, after ten days of tries have sent the second ascent of "PuntX" in Déversé, south France!

This route bolted by Cédric Lo Piccolo and done by Alex Chabot in August 2007 is about 20 meters of stamina and boulder problems without any good rest!
Andreas thinks it is at least 9a+. Alex Chabot did not grade it and said it is the hardest route of the crag. Hard moves, stamina and some painful holds as you can not make a lot of tries in a day...
