Apocalipsis de la Gioconda 9b (a+) by Jose Luis Palao

Jose Luis Palao, who did the FA of Mona Lisa integral 9a+ in Rodellar two weeks ago, has done the first repeat of Jonathan Flor's 60 meters Apocalipsis de la Gioconda in Rodellar thinking it is also 9a+. Jose Luis bolted and cleaned the whole line during some 15 sessions and "Yes, my projects are always open." In total, he has bolted some 300 routes. (c) Jonathan Flor

Last year I made his first pitch and bolted also the extension but I was very far from being able to join them. When I came back this season after doing "Mona Lisa integral" I was very used to the wall and to this style of routes and in about four days I made it.
