100th (120) 9a and harder by Adam Ondra

Adam Ondra has done Made in Poland in Podzamcze. "Oh yeees,100th 9a and harder, took me 8 years to do them. This one was a special climb, completely vertical pocket climbing with super slippery footholds, especially if it is as cold as today! 3rd go, would have been second go if drone crash hadn't happened next to me on my second go!" In fact, as Adam Ondra has given more personal down grades than any top climber, he could have said he had done around 120 at least. The first he did when he was 13 years old. The runner up on this exclusive list are Ramonet and Dani Andrada with around 40 and Chris Sharma with some 35. Photo by © Petr Pavlicek
