9a+ by Magnus Midtbรธ in Santa Linya
Magnus Midtbรธ, #4 in the World Championship in 2011, has done his fourth 9a+, Seleccion Anal in Santa Linya. (c) Henning Wang
"Perfect timing only a couple days before leaving. A crucial hold broke just a few hours before I sent. Makes it a little bit harder with a new sequence down low.
Feel like I have lots of energy right now, so I'm trying to put it to good use. My plan is to skip the first comps and climb outside in Norway instead. I will focus more on the World Championship in Paris this year and do one or two World Cups as training for it. This was my second trip working Selecction A. I probably fell 10-15 times on the crux, but luckily never in the last part. My plan now is to go through Stokin the fire (9b) and see if that could be a project for next season. Have watched Edu Marin working it and it looks really good!"
