Here we go with the video of the second ascent of
Abyss, 9a, at Deverse, Gorges du Loup (France) by
Andreas Bindhammer.
Andreas climbed it at the end of October and needed 16 days of trays, spread over 6 weeks, for a total of about 50 trays in order to send this route.
Abyss was bolted in 2005 by Alexander (aka Alex) Chabot, and
freed always by Alex on the 28th of July 2006.
The route is 20m long and is characterised by a "pure" and continuous tufa along a 45° to 70° roof!
The route is 100% natural, and Alex suggested a grade of 9a after his first ascent.
It is also online
the video of Andreas Bindhammer on TripTikTonik 8c+ , always at Gorges du Loup, Nice (France).
