Switzerland based Michi Wohlleben has made an ascent of Beat Kammerlander's Prinzip Hoffnung at Bürser Platte - Burs in Austria. The route was first climbed in 2009 and weighs in at F8b/+, making the route roughly equivalent to an E9 or E10.
I find this a bit odd... that some routes seem to get all the limelight and others, not so much.
In this occatition I can understand the news item (young lad crushing and Kammerlander klassik), but a double send of another F8b+ trad routes should also get some attention... https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu9BvQalvNm/
Or perhaps these E8/9/10 sends are so common place in the alps, that there is no need to reports them en mass.
