Darwin Dixit 8b+ (c) OS and Wild West 9a/+ by Piotr Schab

Piotr Schab reports on Insta that he has onsighted Darwin Dixit which due to a broken hold is "probably closer to 8c now" and made the first repeat of Tom Bolger's recent Wild West 9a/+ in Margalef. The Pole has previously onsighted nine 8c's meaning that he is one of the Top-10 best onsight climbers in the world. When it comes to 9a and harder, he has done 28, meaning he is Top-15 in the world.

Wild West: "New addition to Espadelles first ascented by Tom Bolger. Shares first few moves with Enemigo Publico, then goes right to Pal Oeste. I've tried it for two days in January, fell at the very top and now finished it off in the second go. Very my style but very good too. Those last moves of Pal oeste can be heartbreaking :)"
