Urko Carmona resolved his project at Rodellar. The strongest and famous paraclimber in fact, did Paideia, un 8a+ route at La Surgencia sector. This is the second similar grade route for Urko and now he want to climbing also a 8b or 8b+ that think could be possible.
But how value a grade for a paraclimber? These are naturally for normal climbers but for a no leg person, there are some big differences. Urko spoke about this with Adam Ondra and the best climber in the world said that naturally is harder. He un fact did an 8b with a bandage to try climbing blind and the general engagement was similar to 9b! So the Urko’s 8a+ is probably near to 8b or something more for him.
