Daniel Fuertes, 44, does Digital System Extension (8c+)

Daniel Fuertes, with 26 routes 9a and beyond under his belt, has completed Digital System Extension (8c+) in Santa Linya.

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I had the route in mind since I did the first pitch ten years ago, but we have been a long time without going to the cave... Now we are motivated here, it is very good with the family and there are many projects!!! My projects are actually different, but I had this route in mind and I wanted to do it to the top, it has been good for me to gain physical shape and motivation!!!!

How come is this your first hard route in over a year?
Last year in spring I couldn't do the projects that I was trying (in sports you don't always achieve your goals). Then in the summer I rested and in the fall I was studying and I had little time to try hard routes. Now my project is Fuck The system (9a).
