Bermudez was visiting Spain with his parents who were on holiday. He went straight to work and made a repeat of the classic Fish Eye 5.14b on his second attempt. He jumped on Esclatamasters on his second day and sent it after only six tries. On 8a.nu, Bermudez said, “The route is amazing and combines an overhanging and physical part with a very technical slab. I am very happy!! Now, I will enjoy the rest of the days trying to climb onsight.”
Other hard routes that Bermudez has climbed, includes Pal Norte 5.14c, Potemkin 5.14c, Wall Street 5.14b and Welcome to Tijuana 5.14b. His first 5.14 was Baby Boy 5.14a in Spain back in 2022.
