Patxi was the first person to onsight 14c, he's onsighted two, and something like 35, 5.14's

That's pretty much what I would have expected. It's almost as if he is training to climb some number of grades harder than the routes he encounters at the competition so that he'll be sure to onsight it. It's crazy to think what kind of route he could put up if he had 100's of goes on it.
