8c+ and 9a action in Oliana

Jakob Schubert (19) has done Duele la realidad, 8c+ in Oliana. Dani Andrada did a notch better by doing its 30 meter extension, graded 9a. "You climb like a 10 move boulder into a knee bar no-hand rest. Then 10 easy moves to finish the 8c+. I never tried the extension but Dani told me about it. In the end of the 8c+ you have another no-hand rest, Dani stayed there for a while, so I think it's a very good one." 19-year-old Jakob was #2 in the 2010 Lead World Cup. Last week he did four boulders of 8A+ or harder in Switzerland.
