Jorge Díaz-Rullo Sends Adam Ondra’s Move 5.15b/c
His repeat of the Flatanger line comes a few weeks after completing Ondra's Change
Jorge Díaz-Rullo just announced that he redpointed Move 5.15b/c (9b/+) in the Hanshelleren cave in Flatanger, Norway. Established by Adam Ondra in August 2013, the route is one of a few lines in the world with a slash grade of 5.15b/c. Ondra didn’t give a definitive grade assessment upon his FA, suggesting the route was hard 5.15b or 5.15b/c.
Seb Bouin made the second ascent of Move in June 2019, proposing a grade of 5.15b/c. It took him five trips, each two to three weeks in length, to eventually send the line. It was his hardest send at the time. Alex Megos made the third ascent of the line earlier this month. Unlike Ondra and Bouin, Megos and Díaz-Rullo both wore double kneepads on the route.
“I am still trying to assimilate if all this is a dream or if this is really happening,” said Díaz-Rullo on Instagram about his send. “Dawning in the rain and fog thinking it could not be possible to climb. Giving it a first go falling on the last hard move. Having a sudden change of conditions and deciding to give it a second try at the last moment of light. I guess we don’t always have to look for a logical reason for everything and sometimes we just have to feel the flow: don’t leave for tomorrow what you can do today.
“A few days ago I was very close to giving up on this project, but thanks to all the support I have behind me, I wasn’t only able to continue, but I took a step back to pick up the pace. Once again, this send was not achieved by myself. Thank you Move for gifting me this unforgettable battle.”
Díaz-Rullo’s send of Move comes just a few weeks after his repeat of Ondra’s Change 5.15c. In February 2023, he FA’d his first-ever 5.15c, Mejorando la Samfaina in Margalef. He made his first 5.15c repeat in October 2013 with Alex Megos’ Bibliographie in Céüse in October. He has many 5.15b routes to his name, including a repeat of Chris Sharma’s Sleeping Lion, which he completed in February 2024.
