9a by Edu Marin

Edu Marin has done Seleccion natural extension, 9a in Santa Linya. "It is a hard 8c+ to the first anchor and then a 7B boulder more or less." Before sending this one, he went on a roadtrip to French bouldering areas. First to Fontainebleau where, among others, he did Atomic Playboy extension, 8B, in only eight goes (video by Blockdigital). Next stop on the way home was Targasonne where he got his first 7C on-sight, Black bloc. Other ascents include: Este del fondo, 8A on second try, Le segneur des anales, 8A on the fifth and two other 7C+s.

Atomic Playboy extension? Where? The problem I saw on the video is even shorter then the original (8A+) version of this travers. (http://bleau.info/y/697-34638.html)

I was wondering the exact same thing when I saw the video. First of all, it's an 8A+ in both, bleau.info and the latest 7+8 topo book (if that means anything) so where did they come up with 8B? And second, the start is from the way left.
