First 9a (+) by Dmitrii Fakirianov

Dmitrii Fakirianov, who was 5 - 2 - 3 in the last three WCs 2016 and who is on his first rock climbing trip, has done Definicion de Resistencia Democrata in Terradets and he confirms previous down grade suggestions. The Russian has also done Blomu 8c+ in Santa Linya and based just on his last two weeks, he is #12 in the 8a ranking game. What is your plan for the last few days? I have some ideas about one 9a in Santa Linya but I prefer more to climb onsights. I hope we will come back to Oliana and I would like to test myself on Mind Control.
