David Bermudez Carbonell, 15, sends Seta Total (9a)
What is coming up next?
I'm not really sure but probably try some harder routes here in Cuenca. Also, I would like to go back to Cuenca and start projecting a route that I finished bolting which could be around 9a+.
Can you tell us more about your first bolting experience?
Bolting is an awesome experience. Every climber should try to bolt a route at least once. I like to create a route of a line that I saw there when I was younger. Bolting is a tough activity, especially in Cuenca where there's no high-quality rock and you must clean a lot. It is around 28 meters and is around 35 degrees steep, with 9 bolts plus the anchor. It has very aggressive moves with very poor footholds. The route has not chipped holds.
