German climber living in Switzerland, Pirmin Bertle recently managed to make the first ascents of two 9a's in 75 minutes at his local crag Charmay, Switzerland.

You would think this means it must be two variations of the same route, but as it turns out, even though Chromosome X and Chromosome Y do cross each other, they don't share a single move.

These were Pirmin's 6th and 7th 9a's, five of which have been first ascents.

There's really no need to say more about it as all the information is in the video, plus there's an interview here

Looks amazing and the rock looks fantastic. But I had to turn away early on, emotionally spent from the rapid cuts and the numbers and info that kept coming on the screen - it was a bit like Top Of The Pops 2 in fast forward.

Lordy, you're not wrong. That was some input! You should have stuck with it though, there were some quality English scene descriptions such as 'then you are delievered by a proper kneebar' which are alwasy fun to see. Great climbing obviously etc.
