Estado Critico 9a by Bouyoud and Pintar

Mathieu Bouyoud has done Estado Critico 9a in Siurana and a few days later it was also done by Gašper Pintar who has written an interesting blog with nice reflections. "Myself a few years ago, coming from a background of youth competitions and obsessive training, I was hung up about my performance and had a number of uncertainties and doubts. I would never believe I would one day climb something like this because I was too weak or it simply seemed so abstract. Slowly over the years I made away with the misconceptions about my climbing by stopping pushing for it and going with the natural flow of things, climbing a lot, becoming stronger and finding climbing more fun as more and more things became possible."
