Jesรบs Muรฑoz Vaquero opens El Sith Elegido (8C)

Jesรบs Muรฑoz Vaquero (Chuchi) has done the FA of El Sith Elegido (8C) at La Pedriza, by adding a three moves start to an 8B+/C he did three weeks ago.

"Yesterday on my first try, and after 19 movements, I reached the famous good slopper in the last section of the boulder. Only the 6 easiest movements of the way separated me from the glory. I was exhausted, but I fought and I tried my best to get to the top of this boulder. If I had to do one more move I'm pretty sure I would have fallen.

It is a long Boulder where the resistance component determines the difficulty. I felt something similar to when you do a pull-up with maximum weight. For me, adding these 3 more movements to the 22 movements of โ€œEl Elegidoโ€ changes the game, at least that's how I felt it. I'm quite surprised that I was able to do this extension after only two work sessions after sending โ€œEl Elegidoโ€. However, that magical attempt on Friday has kept me from returning for several days. I am sure of this.

Now it's time for a change of scenery. It will be easy since next Tuesday we are leaving for the US for three weeks to visit Bishop and Red Rocks.โ€
