Andrea Chelleris, 16, ticks Víctimas Pérez (9a)

Andrea Chelleris, who a couple days ago did his eleventh 9a and harder, has completed Victimas Perez (9a) in Margalef. ”Wow it felt so good to send this, After the send of 20 años despues 9a in siurana I gained an amazing shape that for sure helped in today’s send!”

Can you tell us more about the ascent and the process behind?
I started trying Victímas Pérez last year, where I invested probably 4–5 days, but I couldn’t make any progress because my skin kept splitting. I came back this year and already on my third try I started falling on the last crux, but after 2–3 days my skin started opening again, so I had to go to Siurana. I came back again after maybe five days and got very close on one try, so I was really looking forward to the next day, but then I split my finger again. So back to Siurana for one week, and today I came here, did a perfect warm-up, and sent it on my first try of the day. I think the route wasn’t very hard because it’s my style (endurance on pockets), but what made it so hard were the sharp pockets that kept tearing my skin and not letting me make much progress.
