Buster Martin on Action Directe 9a
In 1990, Ben Moon climbed 'Hubble' making it the world's first 8c+. The following year, Wolfgang Gullich made the first ascent of 'Action Directe' giving it a UIAA Grade XI (8c+/9a). Both routes have since been upgraded to 9a. In October 2022, Buster sent Action Directe in just four sessions over two separate trips this year. Buster becomes the first Brit to climb the route, and joins Alex Megos in becoming the only two people in the world to have climbed both Action Directe and Hubble.
