8B+ FLASH of El Elegido in Spain

Spain is a country famous for its limestone and endless potential for steep tufa-covered cliffs that are made for sport climbing. It is less known that this country has excellent granite, like the one in La Pedriza, which hosts some incredible trad climbing, slab climbing, and bouldering. I made a very short visit to this crag close to Madrid and made one bouldering session!

My plan for the day is to try to ⚡ flash two 8B+ boulders - Charlotte and El Elegido. I was very close to the first one, but used all the luck in the second one, El Elegido.

The circumstances were quite special, and in the new video on my YouTube channel, you will get to know why I ended up sending it in my underwear. The video includes FA of Elemental 8B+, too. Next time in La Pedriza, it is time for some trad and slabs.
