Prsty houslovรฉho virtuosa 8B+ FA by Petr Resch (46)
Petr Resch has done the FA of Prsty houslovรฉho virtuosa 8B+ in Petrohard, video, after some 15 days of projecting.
So please explain how it is possible to set a new personal best at age 46?
I have been preparing every year 300-600 new boulders for the "Petrohradskรฉ padรกnรญ" event for almost twenty years. About 300 boulders 8A and more (a total of 5000 boulders). Last year 8B and 8B/B + where the 8B was confirmed and the 8B/B + has not been repeated. It is mostly about climbing on small edges. This winter I started testing the traverse for 8B+. Due to the Coroana virus pandemic, we had to cancel this year's Petrohradskรฉ padรกnรญ. I didn't climb all summer because of the heat and I trained. As soon as the temperatures dropped, I returned to the project and climbed it relatively quickly. As I got older, I changed my eating habits significantly and I train less with a focus on my weaknesses.
