La Mola mola 9a by Samuel Ometz
"I tried for around 5-6 sessions between summer 18 and spring 19 but struggled to find belayers to do close sessions. I focussed on it this spring (since may 1st we can climb in Switzerland) and needed another 7 sessions to complete it I think."
How could you train during the lockdown? I just climbed on my home wall, mixing short boulders and power endurance. Also some weighted pull-ups, rings, and core. It's also a good time to do stuff like stretching/mobility training that I never find time to do normally.
