Massive personal down gradings in Albarracin

Martin Mobraten, one of the greatest climber in Norway, has been in Albarracin and in his blog he says he need to comment the grades. In general, he says that the grades in Albarracin is one grade wrong. In total, Martin did 17 boulders 8A and harder out of which he gave a personal down grade for 14 boulders up to two grades. It should be noted that, in comparison, Albarracin is one of the boulder areas in the world where you find most personal grades in the 8a database. Maybe, the grades will become more equal to the Fontainebleau standard, once chalk will not be allowed :)
