Goldrake 9a+ by Francesco Castellano

Francesco Castellano skips 9a and does Goldrake 9a+ in Cornalba in just five days. Adam Ondra did the FA in 2010 and it has six repeats in the 8a database. It should be mentioned that Ondra hesitated in between 9a and 9a+ and all but two have called it "soft" after having done it relatively quickly. In other words, it might just be a hard 9a?
