Es Pontas 9b? by Jan Hojer

Jan hojer has done the third ascent of Chris Sharma's Es Pontas on Mallorca from 2006. Chris did not grade it but after some years he said 9b was possible when this grade was put forward. Jernej Kruder did the first repeat and he calls it 9b. "The grade is symbolic!" Hojer took the bronze in the Combined WCH in Innsbruck last month. In 2016, he worked Es Pontas together with Jernej for a month. Hojer Insta: "Thanks @chris_sharma ! You sure know how I feel right now ! Thanks so much for putting up this route! Your vision is the only reason I got to experience all of this!"
