Seb Bouin on Akira, Grading DNA, and French Climbing History

Seb Bouin on Akira, Grading DNA, and French Climbing History

Check out our new book, Written In Stone: The 1990s!

Seb Bouin is one of only three climbers who have climbed 5.15d (9c). Following in the footsteps of leading French climbers, he established his testpiece, DNA, in 2023 in the Verdon Gorge. It may not be a coincidence that this came shortly after his Vintage Rock Tour, in which he climbed all of the firsts in France from 7c+ to 9a+, including the first three 9as from Fred Rouhling, Hugh, De L’autre Côté du Ciel, and the most famous and most controversial of the trio, Akira.

In this episode, Seb and Kris discuss collaboration versus competition, taking grades personally, DNA, and where Akira and Fred Rouhling fit into French climbing history.
