Kacper Heretyk climbs Joe-Cita (9a)
Kacper Heretyk, with two 9aโs under his belt, has completed Joe-cita (9a) in Oliana.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Iโm very satisfied. Joe Cita is a beautiful combination that has everything I love about climbing โ sustained climbing (50 m), the crux right at the very end, and a slightly overhanging character. I managed to lead it faster than any other route Iโve climbed at this grade. It took me six attempts to send it (not counting the fact that I already knew the other lines).
