VALHALLA, 9a+, 380 metros
ODYN's CRACK 9a+
To release all Valhalla pitches I've been 4 months already in Getu village, Guizhou province, one of the poorest regions of China (in constant development though) which economy is based mainly on agriculture. Things are different, here. People has no time for leisure and internet connection is low.
Waking up early, 983 stairs up, 150 meters of Juma ascent and start climbinga at -5ºC has been our routine during this months. To be honest I've been tempted to give up sometimes. Endurance, discipline, perseverance and lots of motivation to release every single pitch!
I've build a sentence that I repeat myself every day when putting on my climbing shoes: "limits are thoughts feeding on our fear of failing".
I know Valhalla is madness and that it became my biggest obsession.
It couldn't be possible without being with the best mate possible, the one who knows how to tame the beast in the worst moments, who knows me better... Thank you for so much, father!
And, Álex (my brother), thank you so much for believing on this madness since the very first moment.
Now, I feel ready for the final battle, climbing Valhalla in a single day!
