In what might well be one of the most difficult onsight first ascents of a sports climb to date, at the end of 2014 at Culilla in Spain Klemen Bečan from Slovenia checked in with a faultless, first go ascent of the project Siempre se Puede Hacer Menos.

The 70m outing had been attempted by local climbers in the past and was believed to be in the region of 8c+ and talking to Planetmountain after his ascent three days ago, Bečan commented "I'm not sure about the grade. Impossible to tell after just one try ;-)"

Should it stand, this would place his ascent on a par with Paxti Usobiaga who, in 2007, made the first ascent of Bizi euskara at Etxauri which also happened to be the world’s first 8c+ on-sight.
