14 May Piotr Schab frees new 9a/+ in Dolina Kluckzwody

Young Polish climber Piotr Schab has done an important first ascent in Dolina Kluczwody, Poland. The route, Stal Mielec, used to be “only” 8c+, going through a roof in a cave thanks to artificial holds. In 2012 the route has been restored to its natural state, removing the added holds, and has become a very hard challenge that the 19 years old has accepted and won. Stal Mielec is now the hardest route of the Polish Jura.
