Video: Robert Jasper's new M14+

Back at his old stomping grounds, the Swiss cave called Eptingen, where he has pushed dry-tooling standards since 1997, Robert Jasper has redpointed Ironman, given M14+. The route, completely devoid of ice at present, is a 40-meter link up of Superman (M13+), Batman (M12) and finishes up Winner (M11-). According to planetmountain.com, Eptingen has about 20 mixed routes graded M6 to M14+. The crag usually has ice, but this season started out too warm, then got too cold for ice to form. Jasper commented: "But the drips are beginning to form now. It'll be great to see how it all develops."

Here's a video of Jasper's mega linkup.
