La fuga de Picasso 9a by Gonzalo Larrocha (38)
In total, the 38-year-old has logged 1 823 routes 8a and harder, out of which 26 are graded 9a to 9a+. During the last 12 months, he has sent 142 routes 8a and harder.
How many days a week do you climb and what does your normal climbing week look like?
Usually, I climb 4 days a week and train 2 more days. This year I finish my job at 13:00 on Tuesday and Friday, and this is when I go climbing during the week, and also on the weekend. I like both long-time projects and multiple ascents. Now I don't have too many routes to do fast near home.
What is your next plan? When I recover my hand I would like to return to Margalef. I injured my ligaments trying , and now I don't have power on two finger pockets.
