Two more onsights by Alberto Gines (14)

Alberto Gines, who three weeks ago onsighted his first two 8a+', has done it again with Goliath and Abรบ Simbel in Cuenca. (c) Mario Martรญnez Muรฑoz In the 8a onsight ranking game, the 14 year old is #24 and among the 14 year olds he is #2 after Jan Vopat, who has recorded two 8b's. As Adam Ondra has pointed out, 8a encourages youngsters to focus on onsights, in varied styles, in order to be more challenged oriented instead of spending long time projecting down some hard sequences that fit small climbers.
