Action Directe (climb)
Place
Action Directe is a famously difficult sport climb in the Frankenjura, Germany, first ascended by Wolfgang Güllich in 1991.It is generally recognized as the world's first 9a (5.14d) route, and it is currently still considered by many to be something of a benchmark for that grade, even though Güllich actually gave it a UIAA grade of XI, which converts to a French grade between 8c+ and 9a.
