16-year-old French phenom Enzo Oddo has climbed yet another 5.15 with his repeat of La Rambla original in Siurana, Spain. The route was first climbed before Oddo was even born by Alex Huber to a stopping point 3/4 up the wall, and it was subsequently extended by Ramón Julián Puigblanque. The accepted grade for this route these days seems to be 5.15a, but Rock and Ice has a good recap of this history of the route including Huber’s thoughts on how the grade of this route and many others has been inflated over the years:

“It’s a fact that La Rambla increased in grade from 8c+ (5.14c) to 9a+ (5.15a). Often people believe this is due to the route extension, but in reality the difficulties do not change substantially with this extension.”

    This kid has some serious head game action going on.  Get him some cams.  He was running that route out big in sections.

      Can’t be any more or less scary than some of the highballs he did in Bishop

    It would seem his potential would lies in the Ondra’s realm. How much better and more injury free would we all climb if we’d started when Oddo and others did in their youth?
