After two years attempts, American climber (now based in Spain) Chris Sharma succeeded in Neanderthal, perhaps a 9b route.
Chris did not say anything yet about the grade, but he has mentioned before it could be a 9b.
The route ascends the steepest part of the Santa Linya cave and top it out. It begins with a sustained 9a to a 2 finger pocket followed by a dyno and several hard boulder problems.
We reported that also the Czech climber Thomas Mrazek did several attempts during last weeks on this route.
