Action Directe is a legendary sport route in the [Waldkopf](/crag/9613/waldkopf) area of the Frankenjura in Germany. It was first climbed by [Wolfgang Güllich](/climber/525/wolfgang-güllich) in 1991 who suggested a UIAA grade of XI which equates to roughly 8c+/9a. It has since settled at 9a making it one of the first climbs at the grade in the world.
The route is infamous for its brutal, uncompromising climbing on one and two-finger pockets. While training for the first ascent, Wolfgang famously made use of the first campus board in the world (the board was erected in the Campus Centre gym in Nuremberg, hence the name).
After an easier initial section leading to a ledge and hands-off rest, a wild jump to pocket marks the beginning of around 20 hand moves – a pure power-endurance testpiece.
The route is named after the [French far-left militant group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Directe).

<p>Campbell Harrison is an Australian competition climber who became the first openly gay climber to compete in Olympic climbing at Paris 2024, a major milestone for LGBTQ+ visibility in the sport.</p>
<p>After homophobic comments were left under an official Olympics Instagram post featuring Harrison kissing his boyfriend Justin, he spoke out publicly in defence of queer athletes and representation:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We often tell ourselves that society as a whole is becoming more progressive, or that things are “getting better”…</p>
<p>But the reality is there’s a reason why you see so few out, queer athletes in sport…. And that’s because we’re still not safe here… yet.</p>
<p>Pride matters. Representation matters.</p>
<p>It’s homophobes and bigots that should feel unwelcome in sport. Not me. Not Justin [his boyfriend]. Not queer people just trying to live our lives without having to lie about and hide who we are.</p>
