9a (8c+) by Midtbรถ
Magnus Midtbo gave himself a nive x-mas present by making short work of El tempo del cafe, 9a, at Alquezar. Magnus felt the route was easier though and writes in his blog: "...the route felt more like 8c+ to me. I am surprised no one have suggested a downgrade before.". Whether this route simply suits Magnus exceptionally well, or if it's in fact easier, remains to be seen.//BP
