At Santa Linya in Spain, Adam Ondra redpointed La Novena Enmienda (9a+) and onsighted Digital System (8c) during the same day. Ondra had climbed portions of the Novena Enmienda link-up last year. The very next day, Ondra redpointed Fuck the System (9a) at Santa Linya on just his third try.

Four days later, the young Czech repeated La Rambla (9a+) at Siurana in just five tries over two days, after working on the route a bit last year.

Just wondering why its acceptable to have the route F uck the System (9a/5.14d) properly named in the news front page link but not in the forum page here?

i think because the route was named by spaniards it is vaguely amusing. in a manuel kind of way.

Presumably becuase the forum has some automatic 'thing' that prevents swearing but is not applied to the news pages as these are not publicly editable.

Erm, why would they? It's a pity that these routes are unlikely to get any decent attention (mind you Chris Sharma is in the country soon....) but if they were I'd imagine it'd be because of pull factors rather than push. Maybe another Petzl Roc trip co-incinding with good conditions.
