Margo Hayes celebrates the climbing community
Margo Hayes philosophical thoughts on Instagram with another great picture from Greg Mionske. "I am overwhelmed and humbled by the support Iโ€™ve received from the climbing community, and my family and friends near and far. None of us achieves our dreams alone, we do so together, and build on those who have come before us. We are a community that not only supports each other regardless of our backgrounds and differences, but is also one that realizes the importance of respecting and preserving our planet. The climbers at the cliffs in Siurana last weekend came from many nations, and were a snapshot of what the world can be like, one of support, communication, and peace. Kudos to @honngy for the initial send... up next @jon_cardwell! Thank you for the capturing our try hard moments!@greg_mionske

La Rambla 9a+ by Matty Hong
Matty Hong comes with great news on Instagram. (c) Greg Mionske "'La Rambla' is complete, my second route of the grade (9a+ or 5.15a). However this time the number wasn't as important for me. Climbing remains to be a confusing challenge that is different with every climb. I've pushed myself equally as hard on routes of a lesser grade. The satisfaction of this sport does not come in numbers but in the moment when you accomplish something you had to work hard for. I'm happy with my climbing and that's where the pleasure comes from. Good times working this route with @jon_cardwell and @margojain who will hop on the train shortly." La Rambla was first done by Alex Huber in 1994 as an 8c+. In 2004, Ramon Julian Puigblanque made a 9a+ extension by traversing into the neighboring route. Later on, the repeaters found an easier sequence and with at least a dozen ascents it is one of the most repeated 9a+'s in the world.

Laura Rogora has done Joe-Cita 9a in Oliana, with which the 15-year-old extends her lead in the 8a ranking game. More info to come! Javi Pec
