9a+ or 9a/+ FA by Dani Andrada

Dani Andrada reports on Instagram that he has done the FA of De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté in Rodellar which was bolted by Serge Casteran. Being uncertain of the grade he choose the double slash grade 9a+ or 9a/+, "to be decided by the repeaters... for me it is a very special route with a history in a very special place." The 42 year old is the one who has put up most hard routes around Lleida, making it the world's most popular hard core climbing area. For some 15 years ago, he started bolting in Santa Linya where he has put up a dozen 9a or harder routes. When it comes to 8a routes or harder, he has done to date 3.715 routes. The often used "A muerte" was also originally his trade mark.
