It's done! I did the first ascent of “El encuentro” on Friday 12th October, just five minute before Mickey Fuselier did the first free climb of "Fifty Words for pumped".

Finally I propose 5.13b/8a to grade this route. So cool the holds are better than I thought so it's really climbable for many climbers, even if holds are a bit fragile, there are plenty of crimpers and pockets in this 40° steep.

Thank you Dani for your motivating support to everybody. This man, Dani Andrada, is an incredible machine to climb. Moreover, he is el animal, giving a positive energy to everybody. It was a great day climbing with him, Mickael Fuselier, Chris Sharma, Gérôme Pouvreau... All those nice people and good friends it's good to be with.












It was a good day for the Petzl team.

Tomorrow, a special report on the photographers working.

Take care all and have fun.
