Lucasz Dudek, from Poland, has made the FA of Made in Poland, 9a, at Podzamcze in, you guessed it, Poland. According to his blog, which you can try and decipher if you like, he needed 13 days of work to succeed.

Meanwhile, further south at Fetid Beach (yes, that's the name) in southern France, after a monumental effort of more than 70 sessions and 200 tries over 3 years, Christophe Zehani made the FA of Corrida, a 44 move resistance route on monos and two finger pockets, weighing in around 9a.
