Jorge Díaz-Rullo redpoints Move (9b/+) at Flatanger

Just days after Alex Megos' repeat of Move at Flatanger, Jorge Díaz-Rullo has now also redpointed this mega 9b/+ put up by Adam Ondra. This is the fourth ascent after the first ascent in 2013 and repeats by Seb Bouin in 2019 and Megos at the start of September. Success caps an extremely positive first trip to the Hanshelleren cave, as in early September the Spaniard sent Change (9b+), while a few days earlier he had managed to onsight the 8c Nordic Flower.

Díaz-Rullo spent 17 days spread out over the last two months working Move. Commenting after the ascent, which probably comes right at the end of Flatanger season, the 25-year-old explained: "I was very excited to send this route, as soon as I arrived at the cave this was the line that caught my attention the most, both for its aesthetics and its amazing movements. 50m of climbing on perfect granite, with sections of various styles and a crux at the end of it all which is what makes the route so hard and where I fell 10 times. This route required me to be in good shape in every way"

Díaz-Rullo has been going from strength to strength in recent years and in 2023 the climbed two 9b+, establishing Mejorando la Samfaina at Margalef in February and making a repeat Bibliographie at Céüse in France in October.
