It’s been somewhat. But now there’s a nice video of Edu Marin’s first repetition of ‚Valhalla‘ in September of this year in the impressive Cave of „Hanseatic Hel Laren‘ in Flatanger (Norway). The 60-metre-long route was drilled Joe kinder and then in July 2016 by Adam Ondra first crash free climbed. Adam classified the route with hard 9a or light 9a +. Edu tends to the intermediate grade 9a/ +. In the future an eponymous multi pitch project in one of the most impressive rock arches of the world have long waits for Edus climb…

Edu to his ascent: „I am really happy to have done Valhalla 9a/9a+ of 60 meters here in Flatanger, Norway. It is the second ascent of this route, the first ascent was made by Adam Ondra in 2016. Adam thinks it can be either 9a very hard or 9a+ easy. My opinion it is a good 9a/9a+. It has been very important for me to carry out this route after suffering a serious accident falling to the ground from 4 meters. It has been a whole process to maintain the motivation and form during the days of recovery, a whole learning. Thank you all for the support I have received. Now I’m heading home to prepare my next project in China to free climb „The real Valhalla.“ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbQD6X0W96g
