9a by Domen Škofic again

Domen Škofic has done Xaxid hostel 9a in Osp/Misja Pec. "3rd ascent after Tomas Mrazek and Adam Ondra :) I agree with Adam it's definitely more of a 9a than 9a+! I'm surprised that I could sent it as there were two holds wet in the lower and upper crux :) I hope Krudi sends it soon as well!" (Probably he is talking about Jernej Kruder, #2 in the Boulder World Championship, who has four 8c+' as his best.) Domen was the #5 in the Lead WC last year where his second worst result was #7. In the 8a ranking game, the 20 year old Slovenian is #5. (c) Luka Fonda
