The first 9a process for Ana Belen Argudo

Ana Belen Argudo did her first 9a, Cordia Maleficarum two months ago. Last month, she did El Intento 8c+/9a.

What is next?
Now I have been two months very demanding for my head, so I think that I will take the break I wanted after Cordia, and I will climb some easier routes before going for another project like this. For the summer, for the moment, my plans are to go to Rodellar. It’s kind of tradition for me to do this trip. It’s special as it is the only trip I do where the performance is not a priority. I love the atmosphere, the food, the people which I met only there, spending time at the natural pools with friends, and of course climbing on tufas. I recommend it to everybody. Rodellar is amazing.
