La fuga de Picasso 9a by Gonzalo Larrocha (38)
Gonzalo Larrocha has done La fuga de Picasso (9a) in , which Jonathan Flor did the FA of last month. โI spent many days trying it during September, but now it is difficult to find people to climb there.
The route is a real challenge on kneebars and I used some of the most technical in my life.
The route has a first 8b+ section and after a good rest, you continue on to the main section. After that, you climb another 8b.
It's more or less 45m, out of which in a roof, and the rest is really overhanging.โ
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.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
