Piotr Schab scored in Spain: La Rambla (9a +) and 20 años después (9a)

A few days ago, Polish climber Piotr Schab climbed his fifth 9a + since the beginning of 2018. Also for the fifth time in the last 12 months, he climbed with the 20 route años después a 9a.

Piotr is known for his on-sightseeing. In March 2018, he also managed, for the fifth time, the onsight of an 8c. He tried to climb an 9a on a single day on his current trip to Spain, but without success. But the balance of his journey can be seen. On the 8. In February, he managed to get through one of the most popular 9a + routes: La Rambla in the sector El Pati, Siurana.

"Sending such a legendary route like La Rambla fills your head with both emotions & thoughts and it is hard to pick the most important one."

Five days after his inauguration of La Rambla He then reported a double walk. He scored the 9a route 20 años después and climbed Sin ácido Clorhídrico (8c +) on the same day.
