I’m really happy to have done this king line, a mythical route in 9a+. I started trying Papichulo 4 years ago I think. Since then, I’ve been back almost every year but not really regularly and when I was close to doing the route, there was always something that kept me from coming back to Oliana and “finishing the job”. Hard to say how many tries, but a lot… That’s the route that required the most work out of me, by a mile. [1]
