Taking advantage of perfect conditions at Céüse in France last Friday, Italy’s Stefano Carnati managed to repeat Jungle Boogie. Located in the famous Biographie sector, this intense 9a+ was freed in 2012 by Adam Ondra and has been repeated by, amongst others, Sachi Amma and Stefano Ghisolfi.
Carnati started attempts a few months after his redpoint of nearby Biographie, but Jungle Boogie provides a completely different style of climbing: 25 extreme moves on razor-sharp holds, followed by another 20m slab which far easier but, true to Céüse, offers runout climbing where a fall is best avoided. It's easy to understand why the 22-year-old took a full 15 minutes to negotiate that section!
Jungle Boogie is now Carnati's fourth 9a+ after Goldrake at Cornalba in 2016, Biographie at Céüse in 2018, and Demencia Senil at Margalef in 2019.
