Andrada Climbs Boulder-Route, 9b; Litz Climbs New V15

Dani Andrada has soloed a link-up in the low-ceilinged Ali-baba cave at Rodellar, Spain that he proposes is Fr 9b. This route, or boulder-route adds a V14 sit-start to Alí Hulk a confirmed Fr 9a that was repeated by David Graham earlier in the year. Graham says on his blog, “the V14 low start to the Ali Hulk is something not to f*** with, very hard. It makes that 5.15c (Fr9b+) at the least.” (climbing.com/davegraham)

This seems to have snuck under the radar a bit. What's going on? No cries of 'b*ll*cks', no hysterical indignation at the proposed grade, not even any 'yeah but what's he done on grit' posts.
