Chris Sharma & Edu Marin do Rambla, 9a+

www.stonemonkey.dk: Chris Sharma got the third ascent of the 40 meters and 17 quickdraws long - La Rambla original, 9a+ in Siurana. The FA was done by Ramonet in 2003. Video of Ramonet. This superb route has had a lot of traffic for many years seeing many of the top climbers projecting it. This summer Sharma did his Mallorcan DWS project that 8a.nu has speculated to be 9b (given the amount of attempts), see comment. Click to enlarge the picture (pic. by Evrard Wendenbaum). Edu Marin got the second ascent two days ago. Two years ago he told us that was close to do it... he stripped and put on the 8a T-shirt directly ;-) In 2006, Edu has won the WC in Chamonix and done two other 9a's in Siurana. Two years ago he onsighted a 900 m trad, 8a+ in Norway and three years ago he won the Youth Worlds. Old interview with Edu & Ramonet Funny La Rambla blog by David Graham
