Enrique Beltrรกn Blasco ticks El Picacho 9a+ (b)

Enrique Beltrรกn Blasco has completed El Picacho (9a+) in Rodellar. To avoid the heat wave, the Spaniard did wake up 3:30 and arrived to the crag one hour later with his friends Lizer and Samuel. Jonathan Flor did the FA in 2021 and suggested 9b. โ€I think the route didnโ€™t have enough hard boulders to be a solid 9b so I suggest 9a+.โ€

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
This is the last project from Dani Andrada in Ali baba cave. Itโ€™s a hard boulder traverse (in my opinion because it has 22 moves) around 8c route and you go directly to Ali Hulk Extension Total (9a+).

What is your next plan?
My main goal this season is to be in shape for Perfecto Mundo (9b+) and I think this route is a good approach.
