New 9a for Aus thanks to Megoswad

"Schweinebaumeln" 35 at Elphinstone in the Blueies.



That makes 2 9a's, both of them put up by Megos.

So that's what a 9a rose move looks like! Quality

On a seperate note do you mean Alex has put up the only 2 9a's in oz? If so that's good going! None of the cosseys routes get 9a? Or considered it since I know they're serial "stern" graders

Swine dangle? The modicum of  German I was supposed to learn in school clearly fails me...

My guess was "little piggy trees" but there's a great deal of rust in my linguistic mechanisms.

What's a 9a rose move? I'd hazard a guess that the move on that 9a isn't particularly difficult and I know for a fact that the "rose move" on La Rose itself is about 6C. Not English. And therefore approaching a rest. We all love a cross through though.

Well done Megos etc.

It's a rose move on a 9a as opposed to an 8a  ;) more overhanging, higher up, and off a wrong way facing seam as opposed to a big pocket.

Caveat, la rose may be 8a+ I can't remember but you get my drift. Let's call it a "schweine move" then for clarity

Pig Dangling, it seems. And a new 34 named "Einfingerkuppenaufleger"

Somebody stop this madman before Australias hardest lines all become unpronouncable.
