Enrique Beltrán Blasco ticks No Pain No Gain

Enrique Beltrán Blasco, who did his first, out of nine 9a's, just over two years ago, has completed No pain no gain 9a+ in Rodellar, giving it a personal grade of 9a . "The first methods in the crossing [traverse] were without a knee [pad], now you can rest on that part a little and I think the difficulty changes." (c) Álvaro Lafuente

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
The route impressed me since I was a child, it was a reference and what motivated me the most was that my two friends Dani and Taus equipped it. It is arranged in two parts, a first of 8c+ and then a traverse of small holds of about 18 movements that will be 8c, from there to the chain a small step and an easy part. The route has cost me less than expected, I started two weeks ago to make attempts from the ground and I always advanced a little more, in total it would have been a month
