One more 8c+ by Angy Eiter

Angy Eiter has done the first repeat of Stefan Brunner's, Nostalgischer Bastard in Prutz. In total, the four times world champion has done five 8c+ and two 9a's in 2014 which is the most impressive female, one year, tick list in the history of sport climbing. (c) Bernie Ruech The interesting thing is, when structured training seems to get more popular, Angy says she does not follow a strict programme as she did before. "My body and mind give the program its direction, which includes a healthy mixture of routes and boulder training." How and how much do you train nowadays? I go routes climbing about three times a week, time varies. Usually I give two attemps on a hard route with a long break between and climb two softer routes. Furthermore, I do one boulder session a week and try to do some power exercises one or two times per week. Different body exercises like: campus, pull and push ups, abdomen, back, and shoulder
