The original is broken at the chipped section apparently. Arnaud Petit said he thought it would still probably be possible the original way at ~8c+ but pretty nasty.

Does anyone know what "dos llensaments" means? (On Ramon's scorecard comment but the online translators don't know it.)

In reply to abarro81:

Looks like Catalan. 'dos llançaments' in catalan is 'two throws' ('two goes' obviously)
Not sure if he's misspelled it or speaking another dialect.

In reply to standard:
'two throws' makes sense - the comment is about the crux section which I think has some big moves on it. Cheers for the knowledge!

In reply to Björn Pohl - UKC:

That would be bloody impressive to repeat 3 degrees considering how short he is... A font 8A dyno that Adam Ondra couldn't do despite his height and that Sharma looks proper stretched on too! I think Ramon is strong enough to pull on the non existent holdsnin between anyway : P

Since no one but Sharma has done 3 degrees - and lots of top climbers have tried - does it merit 9b?
