First 9a in Portugal by Leopoldo Faria

Leopoldo Faria has done his first 9a, Peixe Porco in Sagres. (c) Ricardo Alves "Really proud to have found this amazing line and having the perseverance to do it! So many attempts over almost two years that it’s hard to have a strong opinion about the grade, especially because I was so close to doing it for so long… maybe soft, maybe hard or maybe 9a+, I really don’t know! Haaaaappy it’s over :))) Nice video
