Big sendings and personal grades by Flor and Andrada (40)

During 13 days in Crevillent and Tarbena, Dani Andrada reports on Insta that he has done 23 routes 8a to 8c/+ including personal grades up to three grades lower than the official ones. His hardest was Ataxia, in the picture, which he thought was 8c/+ although graded 9a. "I would like to say that these are not downgrades but an opinion and it is only mine."

Jonathan Flor has given the same message on his Insta and for the hyperextension of Ataxia, originally a 9b, he thought it was 8c+/9a."These grade adjustments are not a war of egos or anything like that as has been said, I simply give my opinion, I don't like to be misled by these things."

Dani has previously done some 75 routes 8c+/9a and harder and Jonathan some 40. It should be pointed out that history shows that downgrades are rather common, especially in Spain.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s 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 isโ€ฆ
