9a 2nd go by Ondra

Yesterday, Adam Ondra made a 2nd go ascent of Halupca 1978 (FA Matej Sova) at Osp, Slovenia. 9a 2nd go... is this really possible? Even Adam himself seems to doubt it, commenting: I had not even wanted to send it that try, but suddenly I was on top, I do not know about grade - am I really so strong or am I just SO lucky recently? Pretty good route though. Usual Ondra style, he warmed down by climbing Revolicija, 8c, making increasing his number of 8c's and harder this year to 63. There's no way that's not a record too.//BP
