It was the first route in the grade 11 \/ 9a, which of course made it the hardest route in the world at that point.<br \/>\nA couple of weeks ago, I coincidentally met David Firnenburg at the Waldkopf, while we were on a family hike. I had my camera gear with me and we decided to shoot a couple of photos of his attempts. He came really close to sending the route, falling on the very last move twice on that day. He told me that in total, he had fallen on that move seven times already during his last visits to the Waldkopf.<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks later I got a text from him, letting me know that he had finally succeeded in sending it on his 10th attempt! Congratulations again David!!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1236\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1236\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"11 or 12 brutal moves until the top...\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_1-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_1-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1236\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">11 or 12 brutal moves until the top&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1237\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1237\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1237\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The route has a pretty nice shadow play later in the day...\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_6-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_6-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_6.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_6-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1237\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The route has a pretty nice shadow play later in the day&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1238\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1238\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_Sprung_1500px-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"David in the most iconic move, the jump from one finger hold to two finger hold at the beginning\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_Sprung_1500px-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_Sprung_1500px-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_Sprung_1500px-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_Sprung_1500px.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DavidFirnenburg_AD_Sprung_1500px-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">David in the most iconic move, the jump from one finger hold to two finger hold at the beginning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone interested in rock climbing has probably heard the name &#8222;Action Directe&#8220; at some point. 25 years ago, on september 14th 1991, climbing legend Wolfgang G\u00fcllich sent this route by Milan Sykora.
