El proyecto de tu vida (8C) by Pablo Zamora
Can you tell us more about the ascent and your thoughts about the grade?
It is a block located in Hoya moros, Salamanca. Nancho Sanchez made the first ascent. It is a ceiling of small crimps and finally a slab. It's a style I'm very good at and I was able to do it surprisingly quickly. I would not know what to say about the grade because being my style and it came out quickly so it seemed easy to me.
How can you explain having progressed so quickly the last year?
This year I have dedicated myself to improving my technique and going out much more on rock and I think that is what has made me progress a lot.
What are your summer plans?
I will go up a lot in the Hoyamoros area, which I really liked and I will also go to South Africa.
