Jules Marchaland Completes Three Degrees of Separation (9a+)

Jules Marchaland, who climbed three 9a+ routes last year, has successfully repeated Chris Sharma’s classic Three Degrees of Separation (9a+) in Céüse. “An incredible route, possibly the best I’ve ever climbed. It took me six days and I fell twice at the final dyno… insane endurance 😅” (c) Marc Daviet

How challenging is the start of the route and the dynos?
I think the initial part feels like a soft 8c+, but it depends on your climbing style. For me, the first dyno, along with the preceding moves, is around a 7C+ boulder problem. The next two dynos, also with the preceding moves, are about 7B boulder problems.

I felt confident on the dynos. I flashed the second and third ones and did the first, harder one on my second attempt. This route is just crazy and so much fun to attempt.
