Patanics 9a+ by Gonzalo Larrocha (38)

Gonzalo Larrocha, who in the last month has done three 8c+ and one 9a, has done Patanics (9a+) in Rodellar. All in all, the 38-year-old is peaking, and only in 2022, he has done 120+ routes 8a and harder.

How many sessions did you project it?
This autumn seven days but I tried it many other sessions in other seasons.

I don't know what to say about this route. The process was perfect during this season. Every try I fell higher, only in the last two days had some regression tries. The problem is more or less the same as in No pain no gain. The main difference is that a crimp broke off which made the boulder section harder.
