Three 9a's by Adam Ondra trained by Patxi

Adam Ondra continuous his rampage around Baltzola where he has done Ini Ameriketan, for which he suggest an upgrade to 9a+, the FA of Ira 9a and Psikoterapia 9a in Valdegobia. In total, the 21 year old has now recorded 1 566 ascents out of which 96 climbs 9a and harder which is three times as many as the runner up on the list. It should also be noted that Adam is known for his stiff personal grading. (c) Aritz Gordo Perez "After I came back from Spain in February, I started training according to Patxi Usobiaga training program, which included harder workouts than ever before. For two months, I climbed 6 days a week, multiple times in a day. I climbed, did pull ups, campused and TRX workouts. After these two months, I started focusing on quality, taking more rests and climbing less. After three weeks of this regime I went to Basque country to check out if the training works. And it did pretty well! Now it is the time to start training again to be prepared for the World Cups." On Friday, Adam will compete in the Boulder WC in Innsbruck. Previously, Adam has said that he has not done any longer sessions of structured and systematic training, instead he has more or less just climbed. Patxi, who is one of the best competition climber in the history, is known for his super hard training regime. Kind of an interesting mix that might take climbing into a new era and standard.
