Enzo Oddo: La Rambla 9a+ (5.15a) at Siurana Spain

Enzo Oddo: La Rambla 9a+ (5.15a) at Siurana Spain drops you into the limestone arena of Siurana with 16-year-old French prodigy Enzo Oddo as he takes on one of sport climbing’s most famous testpieces. Filmed by prAna, this short but punchy ascent traces his repeat of La Rambla—first established by Alex Huber to a high point and later extended by Ramón Julián Puigblanque—against the backdrop of a route whose grade and legacy have been debated for years. What makes it worth watching is the collision of raw youth and historic difficulty: precise footwork on razor edges, relentless endurance, and the calm that’s required when every move feels like it could spit you off. Even in just a few minutes, it captures the full sport-climbing arc—rehearsal, doubt, commitment, and that final surge—while reminding you that “hard” isn’t only a number, it’s a story written into the rock and the climber who dares to try.

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." ~ClimbingNarc.com
