El mon agermanat 8c (+) by Jose Agustí (44)
"There are more than two years working on this route, a well known 8b+ first pitch, that I have done multiple times, but hard due to the crux move cause as it involves a better core than I was having the last years. In 2021, due to the confinement, I have been climbing a lot in Sant Llorenç del Munt Sescorts sector, where I recovered my core at levels of 2017, and this was the key.
I discovered the big cave of Sant Miquel del Fa in 2016 and step by step I have done almost all the routes there, including my first 9a. Since the beginning, I was travelling around Europe in order to onsight my best and in Rodellar I achieved my best, Alter ego 8b."
