Sam Prior completes Serenata, making it his first 8C
Sam Prior has done his first 8C by repeating Mike Adamsโ Serenata at Impossible Roof. โA great feeling of progression that I wasnโt actively seeking.โ
Can you tell us more about Serenata?
Itโs been a funny year really because I stopped doing any formal training or conditioning last year and my son was born at the start of this year. So I really wasnโt expecting to see an uptick in form, I think perhaps I needed to chase it a little less and just enjoy it a little more. Which I have!

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
