9a+ by Daniel Woods in Oliana and a 9a in Margalef

Daniel Woods, who did the FA of an 8C+ Boulder last year, comes with good news on Facebook that he has done his fourth 9a+. "Sent Papichulo (9a+) last night. This is the most resistant route I have climbed on. 50 meters limited rests, perfect rock, sketchy slab outro... Has everything. Props to Chris Sharma for having the vision and establishing it. Photo Matty Hong" The day before he sent Vรญctimas Pรฉrez 9a in Margalef which is another resistant testpiece. Not bad for the one who has done some 25 boulders 8C or harder.
