Jakob Schubert who was #5 in the World Cup 2008, has onsighted Noa, 8b in Alquezar. "1st day climbing in Spain --> syked!" If just the weather will be OK, there will probably be a new world record of hard sends around Lleida, the center of Universe, as it seems all the top guys are celebrating Christmas there.
