La Rambla, El Pati

[9b]

1) La rambla "Huber version"
Adam Ondra interview:
Alex Huber put up "this route and when he climbed at the end of the crux he ended the route cause he thought that going further is not possible. He graded it as 8c+.
Nowadays the 9a+ traverses from this point one meter right and going up doesn’t contribute more difficulties to it. (I think maybe just an half of the grade, if you use the jug for rest)."
