Anyone heard of this route before? Alain soloed it in 1991 (some footage here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr3N5yt7gOs) but I can't find a reference on UKC or 8a.nu.

Im guessing it might be a link up or something?

Obviously very hard for a solo, particularly for the time, so would be good to keep a record.

His other 8b of the time he calls Triptique 'a combination of three abos'. I'm guessing this is the grade ABO ('abominable'), a bit like XS, now superceded by ED1, ED2 etc. This implies a link-up of three hard routes. https://www.facebook.com/thefrenchspiderman/posts/-tryptique-8b-une-combinaison-des-3-abos-sur-la-falaise-de-cornas-châteaubourg-e/705910588201527/
