La Teoria del todo is constantly devalued

Originally, Alberto Rocasolano, the first-to-come first-choice player, claimed 8c + as the difficulty. It would have been the hardest boulder in Spain and one of the few 8c + Boulders in the world. Numerous repeaters scored the Boulder off. Most recently, Pol Roca at the fourth round. He specifies 8b + as his level of difficulty.
