Estado critico, El Pati

[9b]

F.A. Ramon Julian Puigblanque.
"Ramonet" needed approximately 15 attempts to send the 40m stamina fest, which runs parallel with the famous "La Rambla".

At the beginning 8c+/9a, after an hold broke:

" The hold was not a resting jug, but it helped.
Before Estado Critico was more of an endurance problem, now there is a definite crux (but for Golpe it is not the crux). Estado Critico is now significantly harder, from 8c+ to 9a."  Adam Ondra
