Alberto Gines Lรณpez ticks El Disbarat (8c+)

Alberto Gines Lรณpez, the Olympic gold medal winner in Tokyo, has made the third ascent of Ramon Julian Puigblanqueโ€™s El disbarat (8c+) in Montserrat. It was out put up in 2000 and Adam Ondra did the first and last repeat in 2008.

โ€œFor many years I've been climbing in El totxo, David was always telling me stories about this route. Few weeks ago my brother Lluc asked me to try together the route to figure out the moves, two sessions after it came down. It's maybe time to check the king line from Montserrat.โ€
