Wow! This has been an amazing trip to Spain! My main goal was to improve to climb routes at my submaximal level faster than usually… However, already on the first day I blundured into „La Chispa“ (8c+), a stunning 50m line just next to the well known La Rubia… The crux section, where I´ve been struggeling last year, felt much more doable this time… Already on the 3rd day I fell in the very top beeing totally exhausted but needed two more days to clip the chain! „Mandanga“ (8c+) turned out to be quite a mind game due to it´s very hard boulder sections. After falling two times on the very last move I did it on the 5th day! I never thought I would be able to climb routes at such a high level within one week having in mind that for my first 8c+ I needed 3 months!
