Magnus Midtbรธ does Papichulo 9a+

Magnus Midtbรธ reports on instagram that he has climbed Papichulo 9a+ in Oliana, Spain in humid conditions. The Norweigian has been one of the best climbers both on rock and plastic for many years now, including 14 routes 9a and harder and #4 in the World Championship in 2011. -Such an epic send! It rained on and off the whole day. Really humid and started raining really hard at the top slab. A real battle, where I many times thought I would loose! But it doesn't matter now, because it's DONE!
