Jorge Díaz-Rullo sends Café Colombia after 240 days
- Wednesday 18th March 2026
The Spanish climber completes his personal project after more than four years and 240 days of work on the route in Margalef, Spain. The route features 40 moves on very small holds, making it a demanding test of power endurance, and whilst he hasn’t offered a grade just yet, it is expected to be among the hardest climbs in the world.
Jorge Díaz-Rullo has sent Café Colombia in the Racó de la Finestra sector of Margalef (Tarragona), completing a personal project on which he invested 240 days of attempts over more than four years. The ascent took place on Friday, March 13, with Mariana Fierro belaying, bringing to an end one of the longest and most demanding projects of his career.
Díaz-Rullo began working on the route in 2021 as a personal project in one of the most iconic sport climbing areas in the world. Since then, Café Colombia became the most ambitious challenge of his career.
The route, approximately 30 metres long with around 40 continuous moves on very small holds, is characterised by an extremely demanding power-endurance style, where precision, skin condition, and the sector’s conditions play a decisive role.
“Before starting the send go I didn’t feel anything special. I couldn’t even imagine that it would be the day. But while climbing, I felt incredibly strong physically, as if everything was flowing. It was the four minutes of climbing of my life,” says Díaz-Rullo.
The climber has shared a short video on his social media (here) showing the emotional moment of clipping the chains, where he can be seen visibly moved after completing a project he had been pursuing for years. The full send was filmed, although the footage will be reserved for a larger audiovisual project about the story of Café Colombia, which will be released in the future.
The proposed grade will be announced in the coming days.
