Daniel Woods has repeated Adam Ondra's La Capella, 9b, at Siurana, Spain. This was the 3rd ascent after Ondra (2011) and Stefano Ghisolfi, who did it in January this year.

From Daniel's Instagram: And on the 5th day La Capella 9b (15b) goes down ✔️... who would of thought my first 9b would be a bouldery one 😂

La Capalla is a relatively short route, only ~15m, but it it really packs a punch with two back to back ~8A+/B boulder sections which, according to Stefano could be compated two one long ~8C problem, so yes, it's not that surprising it would be Daniel's first of the grade.

He now has almost three months left in Spain, so there is a chance he'll get up a couple of more routes while he's there.
