Chipping in Finestra wall in Margalef

Angie Scarth-Johnson who just did the FFA of Victimas Perez (9a) in Margalef reports on Insta about chipping on that route as well as on . "The truth is , though never mentioned by anyone before, this has been something that’s been happening for years along the Finestra wall and its top end routes and I’m curious as to why things have never been said before Though I’ve Never had a personal experience with this until now , I have heard of these situtions amongst locals before."

So during the two seasons of projecting it was just lately you found two changes which did not change the difficulty? Then later after your send, during the last few days, some guys have found another changes that make the route easier?
No, the route has not been made easier by any means. Though slight modifications to the holds forced me to re-refine my betas the modifications when I last tried it were very minimal. Though now people are speaking of new changes after I left Margalef.
