Before
Action Directe is a 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 grade UIAA grade of XI which equates to roughly 8c+/9a. It has since settled at 9a making it one of the first of the grade in the world. The route is famous 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 Nürnberg hence the name). After an easier initial section leading to a ledge and hands-off rest the route consists 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) of the same name. ### References [1] *Written in Stone*, Nov 2023 [https://open.spotify.com/episode/3XjUWgzU7IMJgEWPzequbq?](https://open.spotify.com/episode/3XjUWgzU7IMJgEWPzequbq?)
