FBA by Barefoot Andrada
Only a short while ago Dave McLeod claimed the first solo ascent of an 8c, Darwin Dixit in Margalef Spain. Five days ago Dani Andrada made what is believed to be the FBA (First Barefoot Ascent) of that same route. Dani conciders it the perfect route for an ascent in such a fashion due to its physical and relatively low nature.
Chris Sharma has been known to climb hard problems barefoot, and now Dani has joined the club. Will this be a new trend? How many extra points does it deserve ;-)
