Alberto Gines López ticks El Disbarat (8c+)

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

For 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.”
