Era Vella 9a (8c+) by Muriel Sarkany (43)
Muriel Sarkany, the most successful Lead WC climber who between 1997 and 2004, won the Lead WC 5 times and the remaining 3 years she was runner-up, has done Era Vella 9a (8c+) in Margalef.
Muriel reports on Facebook, "Thanks Chris Sharma for bolting this amazing 50 meter long King line." Era Vella has 35 ascents the most repeated 9a in the world even if the FA was from 2010. Strangely, Muriel's ascent was the first in 18 months.
In her last World Cup in 2010, being 36 years old, she was #6. Muriel did her first 9a in 2013 and last autumn she did an 8c+. The pic is from that celebration.
