9a+ by Jakob Schubert in Oliana
Jakob Schubert reports on Facebook that he has repeated Chris Sharma's Pachamama 9a+ in Oliana just a few days after he did Joe Mama 9a.
"Still felt pretty tired this morning from the New Year's party we had in Barcelona but at 3pm I decided to do my first actual sending try and got surprised." (c) Elias Holzknecht
Since 2010, the worst overall Lead WC result for the Austrian has been #3 and at the same time he has done about 20 routes graded 9a and harder. Combining rock and competitions, he must therefore be considered the #1 lead climber of this decade together with Adam Ondra.
