Wolfgang Güllich

Germany

Orang pertama yang memanjat rute grading 9a di dunia — Action Directe, Frankenjura, Jerman (1991) — dan penemu teknik latihan campus board.

Wolfgang Güllich (24 October 1960 – 31 August 1992) was a German rock climber widely regarded as one of the most influential sport climbers in history. Throughout the 1980s he pushed the grade ceiling multiple times, culminating in the first ascent of Action Directe (9a/5.14d) at Frankenjura in 1991 — a standard that stood as the world's hardest route for nearly a decade. He also invented the campus board, now a universal training tool. Güllich died in a car accident at age 31.
