The Andrada show continues

Tomas Mrazek has done two 8c+, La novena puerta and Blumo in Santa Linya. Magnus Midtbodid Fabela, 8c+. But it is Andrada who is most impressive. When we all are sitting around the fire in downjackets. Dani warms up on an 8c with a new extension, wearing only a T-shirt. Once the fingers are to cold he takes of his 8a Prana T-shirt and puts it around his hands, one by one. A couple of tries later with three totally inhumano 180 knee-drops in a row he says - Facile, it is just 8c+ or 9a I do it the next day! When it is totally dark he is as always the last guy climbing.
