Alexander was really successful again shortly before the end of his trip to Margalef. Shortly before the end of his trip, he first ascented with „Chan Chan Bastards“ an extremely difficult route. The route is a combination of „The Journey“ (9a) and the still open project „Café Colombia“. Alex was already able to climb the extension of the former route as „The Full Journey“ [9b].

On the last day, the strong Franconian concentrated on Tom Bolger’s newly discovered sector „La Cueva de Tom Bolger“ and first ascented „Patatas Pantera“ (9a). In the same sector, he also send the most difficult route „Pink Patatas“ [9a+] on his trip

A very successful trip has come to an end. Also the last few days have been good for me. After climbing „Chan Chan Bastards“ 9a+/b (a combination of „The Journey P1“ into the unfortunately chipped top of „Café Colombia“) I put my focus on a new cave found and bolted by @tom_bolger. After doing „Pink Patatas“ a few days earlier, I could also get the FA of „Patatas Pantera“ (9a) and repeat Tom’s „Pink Pantera“ (8c+) on my last day in Margalef!

Thanks so much to the crew for the amazing times! @alina.megos @dasha.kan @nika_____potapova @luisaflohe @tom_bolger @gabiliii @casa_catalunya.
