Andrea Chelleris, 14, does Halupca 1979 (9a)
Andrea made the 8a headlines for the first time at age 9 when he did his first 8b+ and last year he did Pure Dreaming Plus (9a/+). This summer he was #5 and #6 in two Euro Youth Cups and #22 in the Youth World Championship.
What is your autumn plan?
I will go to Helsinki to do the European Youth Championships, hoping for a good result after a very bad world championship.
What does a normal training week look like for you?
I train 4-5 times a week. I travel 50 minutes to Climbing ranch and I always train there. I do power sessions, endurance training and power endurance. I'm doing more power sessions because I need to improve my explosive power. Mainly spray wall training but when I need to do onsight training I do lead training [climbing].
