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.

La Rambla 9a+ by Margo Hayes (18)
Margo Hayes has become the first female to have conquered the 9a+ grade by doing La Rambla in Siurana today. The 18-year-old has previously done one 9a and last year she won the Youth World Championship in Lead, Boulder and Combined. (c) Matty Hong, who also did the route today. Greg Mionske, who got it on video, tells us it took Margo seven days to get prepared for the big send. In 2005, Josune Bereziartu did Bibaluna graded 9a/+. Also Ashima Shiraishi has done two routes where 9a/+ has been mentioned, Open Your Mind Direct and Ciudad de Dios. More info to come but clearly, Margo's ascent is one of the most ground breaking ones in the history of sport climbing. It is also noteworthy that in the same area, Laura Rogora (15) did her second 9a today, Joe-Cita in Oliana. These youngsters are about to set new standards. They are getting closer to what male teenagers are able to do. See the news below and further below for more info on La Rambla posted in the article about Matty Hong.
