Bibliographie (climb)

Common card · No. 332840

Bibliographie is a circa 35-metre (115 ft) sport climbing route on a limestone cliff on the southern face of Céüse mountain, near Gap and Sigoyer, in France. The route was bolted in 2009 by Ethan Pringle, and was first ascended by Alexander Megos on 5 August 2020. Megos initially graded the route as 9c (5.15d), the highest difficulty at that time. The route was repeated on 24 August 2021 by Stefano Ghisolfi, who graded the route as 9b+ (5.15c), which has become the consensus grade for Bibliographie, making it the fifth climb with a grade of 9b+ (5.15c). As one of the most repeated of the small number of 9b+ (5.15c) graded routes in existence, Bibliographie became a "benchmark" for the technical grade of 9b+ amongst elite climbers, with consensus that it is at the grade (e.g., as opposed to Change whose grade has softened to 9b/+ with further repeats). In June 2026, Janja Garnbret made the first female free ascent (FFFA) of the route, which was the second female ascent of a 9b+ (5.15c)...
