9a by Piotr Schab again and 9b plans
Piotr Schab seems to be in the best shape of his life. He has just sent Analogica 9a in Santa Linya in only four goes. (C) Adam Kokot
How can you explain this new peak performance situation?
I think this is a process. Last winter we started some pure power training, and then set a long-term plan. A lot of hard work with a coach, physio and climbing crew. I started feeling comfortable on harder moves and routes. This first week in Spain and my fitness is still a big surprise for me but I love this "new" situation. As I told you we have a long term plan and it contains some 9b efforts :)
