9a+ by Edu Marin in Santa Linya

Eduard Marin confirms that he is in his best shape ever by doing Seleccion Anal 9a+ in Santa Linya. The Spaniard did his first 9a and 9a+ in 2008 but then it took seven years to do his second 9a+ and also Chilam Balam 9b just two months ago. The best possible explanation for him stepping one level up is the super intense training regime he started together with Dani Andrada and Paxti Usobiaga this autumn that were also captured in videos. In 2003, Edu became the Youth World Champion and in 2006 he won one Lead WC and just missed the final once out of seven events. He is also famous for doing hard Big Wall climbing together with his father.
