The 21-year-old Scotsman William Bosi succeeds in the first ascent of the King Capella (9b +) sport climbing route in Siurana, Spain. If the level of difficulty is confirmed, King Capella is one of the most difficult routes in the world.
Around a year after repeating the famous 9b route La Capella gets Will Bosi the first ascent of an extremely difficult line that runs to the left of La Capella. The new line was set up by David Brasco and - like La Capella - requires a fair amount of finger strength and explosiveness.
What an experience and how awesome that I was able to fight my way up to the diverter of King Capella.
William Bosi
Should repeaters confirm the level of difficulty, listen King Cappella to the most difficult sport climbing routes in the world and William Bosi to the illustrious circle of 9b + climbers. So far, there has only been a route with this level of difficulty Adam Ondra, Alexander Megos., Jakob Schubert, Stefano Ghisolfi and Chris Sharma.
To climb La Capella (9b) rotpunkt, I needed three sessions. For comparison: In King Capella I only needed three sessions to decipher the first sequence.
