Gonzalo Larrocha ticks Valhalla (9a)

Gonzalo Larrocha has repeated Adam Ondraโ€™s Valhalla (9a) in Flatanger. In total the 39-year-old has now done 35 routes 9a or beyond. (c) Adri Martรญnez

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I have been trying the route during two weeks. The main problem for me was handjam in the second pitch. It was stressfull to get there and slip or the jam or the feet. But finally every things works well. The picture is by the anchor after 50' of climbing during the send.
