In the Mammut Rock Climbing Classics series, where the stars of today climbs classic routes together with people who where actually there when it happened, Anna Stöhr tries La Rose et la Vampire together with Antoine Le Menestrel who made the first ascent back in 1985.

In the mid 80s Antoine was at the very top of his game, leading the way with first ascents like La rage de vivre, 8b+ and Ravage, ~8b+/c, both in 1986 to name just a couple.
In 1985 he visited Britain and made his famous solo ascent of Revelations, 8a, at Raven Tor.

Question from someone who is never going to climb anything like that. The route ends under what looks like a 1 meter roof. Has anyone tried to extend the route through the roof? If you look at 4:20, that roof looks like the crux of a much harder route.
