Ramon chose to eliminate a jug a little off to the side. This is no longer how the route is typically climbed.

Likely the actual first ascent due to the lack of evidence over Richard Simpson's ascent.

Yeahhh, finally!! real jungle line, in the green. nice bouldery line on compact nice colored rock! For many many tries, but a lot of fun and finally done! My hardest line I have send so far ! First I really thought it was 9a, but later people found a new hold, I didn‘t see. So it‘s possible to skip my personal crux move, that was so challenging for me.

This whole time I’ve been trying to stay in shape, which has been a huge challenge. I never wanted to let go of my climbing goals. But as the years go by, you start to wonder, are things going to coalesce? Am I just saying that to myself, that I’m still in shape and ready?

...

In the lifespan of a climber, it’s really good to do other things. It complements your climbing, and it gives you a different perspective, and then it makes you appreciate climbing in new ways. … The ultimate goal is to be able to climb 5.15 in life, not just on the rock. So I have this higher-arching goal of climbing at my limit while also being present with my kids, and being present as a husband, and creating these climbing gyms and this TV show. All those other things are way out of my comfort zone, but that’s where a lot of growth and the progression of ourselves comes from.[3]
