Magnus Midtbรถ working on Es Pontas 9b
Magnus Midtbo reports on Facebook that he has been trying Chris Sharma's unrepeated route Es Pontas 9b at Mallorca. The only other world class climber who has said he had tried it for a period of time is Ethan Pringle.
"Got a few good dry days on Es Pontas, but not enough to determine whether or not it's possible for me. All I know is that I will be back on the island for more climbing soon.
