Victimes del Futur 9a by Anghelo Bernal
"The first attempts at Victimes del Futur was done in the fall of 2019 and until the fall of 2020 I had not been able to give any good tries. The pandemic confinement affected me physically and last spring I did not feel well. This spring I only needed about ten attempts to do it, although last fall I did spend a lot of time on the route. I am very happy to fulfil this dream of being the first Colombian to reach the 9th grade and I hope to be able to fulfil all the goals that I have set for myself in the future."
So what are your future goals?
For now, continue climbing enjoying the most and being able to do other routes of the same level, also when I was a child and still did not know climbing I was always writing 5.15 (9a+) which is the date of my birthday May, 15 and when I started climbing I realized what 9a+ is so I would like to follow my instincts and find a route of this level.
