Fred Rouhling moving through the chipped section of his route L’autre Côté du Ciel, Eaux Claires, France.
Almost ten years ago, the French sport climber Fred Rouhling claimed to have climbed this unusual route, near the tiny town of Vilhonneur in western France, and gave it an unprecedented rating: 9b, or 5.15b.
Akira was buried in the small print and Rouhling became climbing’s poster boy for ego-driven, sponsor-pleasing, dubious achievement.

 New 5.14d for Fred Rouhling   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Fred on L’autre Côté du Ciel, Eaux Claires, France.
The French climber Fred Rouhling, profiled in Climbing #232, (L’autre Côté de Fred Rouhling) has completed his fourth new route rated 5.14d or harder.
Rouhling made the news in the early 1990s because his first 5.14-plus new route, Hugh, was so blatantly chipped — and because of the monstrous, all-points-off dyno the climb requires.

 boldering.com -> Akira article
Rouhling used to remove Jean Minh's quickdraws from the route (and giving them back to him) just to make working the route a hassle.
Rumor also has it that Rouhling had drilled more holds originally, but filled some afterwards so it would feel more 9a to eventual repetitors.
Rouhling didn't like his routes being downgraded, and there was a little cold war between the people around there.

Bustloose is commenting on how people diss Fred without factual basis, and that after reading said article said people will realise that they are jackasses.
Fred R has a massive (+7?) ape index, and sets routes that way (rather than pick a natural line).
Fred is a peer in the climbing community who has nothing but bad press and negative rumours, he finally he gets a chance to prove that he is not a liar or chipper (among other things) and all you people can do is miss the point and act like this is a waste of time.

It was hilarious when they talked about Rouhling's allegedly great height and mutant wingspan, and then the first thing they discover is that he's like 5'9" with a plus 1.5" ape.
fred was the one to "create" climbs suited to his style with those two finger drill holes an arm span apart out a blank roof.
Climbers are a petty lot sometimes - Fred seems to be a bad ass guy that doesn't hide stuff - he's straight forward about it and if it's controversial - so be it.

 Camp4: Possible V16 at Hourai, Japan
According to Koyamada, Byaku-dou, or "The Road to Heaven," is the hardest problem he has ever completed, believing the rating to be "at least 8C, V15." French strongman, Fred Rouhling has attempted Byaku-dou and says that it is harder than Dreamtime, 8C, V15, which is considered to be the benchmark for the grade.
No stranger to hard climbing, 27-year-old Koyamada has made ascents of at least 15 climbs rated 8c+, 5.14c or harder in Europe and Japan, including the fourth ascent of Fred Rouhling's "Hugh," graded 9a, 5.14d in France, and has established several V13 and V14 problems at Hourai.
Among these was the fourth ascent of Rouhling’s Hugh (5.14d) in France and a new route, Logical Progression (5.14d), at home in Japan.

The 9a slab route, first climbed by Fred Nicole in 1993, is Lamberti's second 9a after Hugh, and his 26th route route between 8b+ and 9a.
Lamberti's ascent is the seventh repeat, after François Nicole, Fred Rouhling, Cederic Bersandi, David Hohl, Josune Bereciartu and Iker Pou.
I remember that when I climbed "Hugh", a really physical 9a with a footless start, I was extremely tense: the next day I had to return home, I had a 1600km drive ahead of me and I didn't know if, and when, I would return.

Fred Rouhling has made the 3rd ascent of Fred Nicole's Bain de Sang (F9a) at Saint Loup, according to 8a.nu (quoting Grimper Magazine in a very roundabout way); the second ascent by Francois Nicole.
Fred only needed a few tries to nail it, apparently.
The route was first done in 1993 and is ranked around the fourth-hardest in the world (or so..) We've struggled to find a picture of the route, which as we recall is a staggeringly smooth, surprisingly vertical route.

One of the commonest criticisms levelled at Fred seems to have been that he manufactured his lines to suit his freakish body geometry and his huge ape index/height.

That route and another 9a called "Hugh" are definately chipped(the latter having a completely manufactured 2m dyno on it- with some holds being filled in to create the dyno!).

Anyway - Great stuff Fred R. Cranking for a decade at that level puts him in an elite field of climbers.

Vera of course did not climb Logical Progression, but rather gave us the "word on the street." I don't know if she had an anti-female agenda.

The climb involves a f8b+ boulder start of eight moves, followed by a f8b+/8c wall climb in a sequence of 26 moves for a total of 20m.

Rouhling, who with his wife and two children calls Geneva home, is an average guy — 5’ 9” with no special ape index.
