Ainhize Belar Barrutia ticks Estado Critico (9a)
Ainhize Belar Barrutia, who sent a 9a+ in 2024, has done Estado critico (9a) in Siurana.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Last autumn I took a couple of trips to Siurana and started trying Estado Crรญtico. It was a route that motivated me a lot, but I wasnโt in my best shapeโฆ At first I struggled to get through the first dynamic move (the crux for me), and then I started falling on the last slab a few timesโฆ When the real cold started, I decided to train for a couple of months, and this week, on my first day back here, I was able to do it on my second go (one to put the quickdraws in and another to send)!!
Iโm so happy to have done this mythical line and so motivated to try other things around here in the coming weeks!

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
Outdoor bouldering isโฆ
