Piotr Schab does Monkey Wedding (8C) and flashes an 8B
Piotr Schab has been in Rocklands for three weeks and sent 16 boulders 8A and harder. The hardest flash for the Pole was Moon shadow (8B) and
Monkey Wedding was his first ever 8C. In the picture, Piotr climbs The full tony tick (8A).
Can you tell us more about those two ascents?
Monkey Wedding - my first 8C and my hardest boulder. Took me 4 sessions with some nice progress at the beginning to stagnation/frustration right before sending. Getting that crazy pinch in the right spot and heel placement was crucial for me.
Moon Shadow 8B FL - just gave it one hundred percent in the first go and it happened. Two moves, not much to mess up :)
Piotr has previously done ten routes 9a+ or 9b but is most famous for his ten 8c onsights. Adam Ondra has onsighted close to 100 routes 8c and harder but it just might be that the 26-year-old is #2 on that list with ten.

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.
