Tom Bolger has fought his way up Open your mind direct, 9a, at Santa Linya for his 3rd of the grade: “After a couple of familiar boulder problems at the base of the crag to warm up, and waiting for the good conditions to arrive I found myself clipping the chains. Looking up at the extension shaking out I wanted to continue but looking at the soaking tufa holds I knew that it would have to wait for another day…”
At Oliana, Maja Vidmar managed to make a very impressive onsight of the 50m Humildes pa casa, 8b+ (originally 8c), a route that previously had only been climbed in this style by Ondra, Sharma and Marin. Not exactly bad company!
