Jernej Kruder, Es Pontas second ascent

At Maiorca ten years after Chris Sharma

Slovenian Jernej Kruder resiolved Chris Sharma’s Es Pontas, great DWS route in Maiorca. Chirs opened the line ten years ago and no one tried it before Kruder that went to Spanish Island with no experience in this kind of climbing.

And about the grade? Kruder sais that “For sure it's about the 9th grade, but there are so many different factors, like the dyno. If there are 200 people in the world climbing 9a, maybe just 10% of them can do it.”

There are many factors to considerate. High, fear, the impossibility to work every move and the famius dyno.
