The Swiss professional climber Cédric Lachat successfully climbs the Oliana routes American Hustle (8c) and Gorilas en la niebla (8b +) in an onsight style.
Was in December 2019 Cédric Lachat already in the climbing area Oliana to Pachamama (9a +). Unfortunately, he had to go back home without doing anything, but had a good reason to return.

He has been back in Spain for a few days now and is working on his project again. It wasn't enough for Pachamama, but Cédric doesn't have to hide with the two most recent ascents: he climbs American Hustle (8c) and Gorillas in the Mist (8b +) onsight. And it looks promising for Pachamama too.
"I am close to the ascent of Pachamama and will certainly score points on the route soon."
