A muerte Bilou, 9a, by Seb BouinVideo

In late August, Seb Bouin made the first ascent of A muerte Bilou, 9a, in the obscenely steep Ramirole sector in the Verdon Gorge.

It's about 50 m long and overhangs roughly 60 degrees more or less all the way. The technical crux comes quite early, around the fifth bolt and is followed by a good rest in kneebar and then a pumpy 30m 8c to the top.

Here is the video!

Cool video and good to see some close up footage of the Ramirole sector. In previous images I've seen it looks like blank unclimbable limestone so its interesting to see how featured it is. Looks like its France's answer to Flatanger perhaps? It would be interesting to know what other routes go up this incredible bit of rock. Is there a topo online anywhere? Found the music a bit distracting but nice to have the subtitles. Some of the comments were really funny.
