Excelsior 9a+ FA by Dani Fuertes (42)
Can you tell us a little more about your ascent and the process?
I started testing the route a few seasons ago when I bolted it. I tried days I climbed close to home, just seeing the moves, knowing the way. The last autum, I tried it more seriously but I couldn’t do it, so it became my priority this year. In spring, there were very bad conditions and I could barely focus on it, but this autumn I came back and felt good from the beginning and I managed to chain it in a few days 🤗. Now, I need some relaxation and enjoy climbing onsight different routes 🤗.
