La Capella 9b by Daniel Woods

Daniel Woods reports on Facebook that he has done his first 9b, La Capella in Siurana on his fifth day on. Adam Ondra put up the bouldery route in 2011 and last month Stefano Ghisolfi did the first repeat. (c) Jon Cardwell "The climb is broken into 3 boulder problems with no rest. An intro 5 move 8A+ (v12), straight to a 7 move 8A+/B v12/13, straight to a 5 move 7C (v9). After this you get a victory 7b (12b) to the anchor. All natural and amazing movement with some of the coolest grips I’ve grabbed onto." Daniel has been one of the leading climbers the last ten years especially in bouldering having done both 8C+ and a flash of an 8b+. In 2010, he won the boulder WC in Vail.
