Back on the 31st August, Magnus Midtboe made the 2nd ascent of Dani Andrada's Ali Hulk, in Rodellar, spain. This boulder/route hybrid is graded 9b is is one of only a few routes to be given this grade. Interestingly Fred Rhouling's Akira at Les Eaux Claires, France (a similar stlye route/boulder link up) is yet to be repeated despite being climbed way back in 1995.
Also, Geoffray De Flaugergues, from France has climbed his 2nd 9a at La Balme (in France). An ascent of a 9a is barely news, however it is worth noting that Geoffray is 15 years old! yes 15!
