El Bon Combat Sport route 9b 5

Chris Sharma, the first ascenionist:

It’s about 25m long, up some really interesting rock, a mix of sandstone and conglomerate that offers some really cool climbing, up this beautiful blue streak and tiny conglomerate pebbles. The moves are unique, completely different from what I was used to at Oliana, Margalef and Santa Linya. Imagine five 8A boulder problems stacked one on top of the other, with a few rests, but nothing great. The moves are very dynamic and yet at the same time extremely subtle, even though they’re right my style I found them to be really tricky. They require lot of coordination and muscle memory, everything has to be just right, you have to be amped but at the same time let it flow effortlessly. It’s at least 9b, but I’ve decided to give it the b+ slash grade because, who knows, perhaps it’s even harder. [1]

El Monstruo de las Regletas Boulder problem 8B 5

Primer 8b propuesto de España
Elm Street Boulder problem 7C+ 5

Originally soloed at E7 and given E8 in the 2005 guide. Now more commonly climbed above a big stack of pads.

Prior to Adrian Berry's ascent, the route had been claimed by Chris Parker as '10,000 Maniacs', but the claim was not considered credible – for unknown reasons. [1]
