Puman climbs like normal in Sweden

Hannes Puman, #8 in the Lead World Championship in 2019, was preparing for the upcoming competitions including the Olympic qualification in Moscow when everything was canceled due to Convid-19. As there are very few restrictions in Sweden he climbs almost like normal besides having had time to do some more outdoor climbing. On the picture by (c) Stefan Droguet, Hannes is flashing a 7b+ trad in Bohuslän. "Such a good feeling fighting with the jams as you place trad gear. So please describe how you have been climbing and training the last month? Have you made any precautions due to Covid-19? As there are no competitions and very good weather lately, I have climbing more outdoors than normal a mix of boulder, sport and trad. Indoors, there are less climbers and I use liquid chalk in order to reduce the risk of catching/spreading the virus. How do you plan to train and climb in the coming weeks? I will continue to train hard indoors. I do some double sessions indoors and sometimes I combine it with outdoors. I prepare to be in best possible shape in July. I like to train and I benefit from it even if there will be no comps this summer. If the weather is good I will take the possibility to continue to climb outside. There are just endless trad challenges waiting for me. This is what makes climbing so much fun. April 8 at 21.00, The Schnitzel Show #3 Hannes Puman
