Stefano Ghisolfi has repeated Chris Sharma's Demencia Senil, 9a+, in the Laboratory sector at Margalef, Spain.

This is most likely the 4th ascent after Sharma, Iker Pou and Ramon Julian Puigblanque, and I wouldn't be very surprised if we'll soon see a fifth ascent by Gabriele Moroni who has been working the route with Stefano.

Mission accomplished on first day of the second trip to Margalef, Demencia Senil 9a+ is done!!! It took me 6 days, a lot of tries but I understood this is not my limit. I'm looking forward to try the next route of the next level, First Round...

I'm going to go ahead and stick my neck out and say I'm guessing he's talking about First round, first minute...

I'm always impressed by that footage of Iker Pou doing this route. The route looks absolutely savage, from the first campus moves on pockets, that first mono cross through and that jump that comes after all that hard climbing. Some of the most impressive hard climbing on video I've seen.

Thanks for the link. That really is something else. The pockets look brutal

No excuse for any of those guys not to do the second ascent of Akira is there?

It's hard to imagine what they couldn't do ;) I've never found any footage of Akira that clearly shows the holds but if you told me it was FB9b I wouldn't doubt you.
