Stoking the fire 9b by Sachi Amma
Sachi Amma reports on Insta that he has done Stoking the fire 9b in Santa Linya. He did spend some 10 + 10 days with a three months training break in Japan. It was put up by Chris Sharma and has previously been repeated by Adam Ondra and Jakob Schubert. (c) Jon Cardwell
Sachi stopped competing after he won the World Cup in 2014. The next year he did five 9a+โ and his first 9b, Fight or Flight. Then in 2016 he changed horizon - 8a interview. ""I can not find any value to be a better person by comparing myself with other climbers. That is why I stopped competing and climbing hard routes...."
Six months ago, he was back on track with a 9a+ FA in Japan and in December he started to project Stoking the fire?
How do you see your climbing lifestyle will change over the coming years?
I feel that life has some secret. Climbing has some secret. You know what I mean. All the changes and transformations are happening without my control. I do not know what I can do with it. Maybe I keep doing one thing for 10 years. But you must see something is changing and something is more rooted.
Why are there so many super good competition climbers from Japan?
I donโt know. Maybe the reason is that we donโt have such a amazing limestone walls!
