La Rambla 9a+ by David Firnenburg

David Firnenburg has done La Rambla 9a+ in Siurana after just six days of projecting. "I opened the door to a new personal dimension in climbing. Curious about what I am capable of accomplishing in the future. Vamoooooooossssss amigos!" (c) Iuliia Leonova So how were you able to open that door? "Well, since I haven't trained specifically for the route it must have been my mental state and the strategy I've chosen how to cope with the challenge, I guess. I didn't put any big pressure on myself, took it easy. Dedicated trying the route over and over again and didn't switch to easier routes to build up the required endurance there. Got better with every try I made, adapted and optimized my beta after every fall or mistake. Finally the right conditions set in (cold and windy), I was convinced of sending it and suddenly stood on top."
