In reply to jezb1:
> I saw on Insta that Sharma suggests that Schubert is in top form and stronger than he realises, hence why he's suggesting hard 9a+.
Yeah could well be. Schubert is without doubt an outstanding climber. Or it could be the other way round. That is Sharma wasn't in as good a shape as he'd thought and thus found it harder. I don't think he had done much hard routes around the time he did that. Dura Dura was a couple of years before. But who knows? Time will tell.
There's also a project next to El Bon Combat, also bolted by Chris, that's much harder.
That's almost the last of the great Sharma sport routes to be repeated now. Neanderthal still awaits a second ascent but several people have been very close to doing it so the mystique isn't there any more.
