Three 9a's by Adam Ondra in a day in Frankenjura

Adam Ondra had an amazing day yesterday in Frankenjura where he quickly did three 9a's; The Elder Statesman, "Close to flashing, fired it off 20mins later. Thanks for beta Alex! 1st 9a of the day." The House of Shock, "Tough bouldering on tiny holds... 2nd 9a of the day, the hardest of the three. Sever the Wicked Hand, "Tried two days before in severe humidity, now did it 1st go while clipping the draws in. 3rd 9a of the day, even though this one must be pretty soft." In total, Adam has done 85 routes 9a and harder which is 3 times as many as the runner up on this list, Chris Sharma. On Friday, Adam will make a very interesting start at the Valence World Cup, the first WC for him for over two years. The next year, he plans to do the whole circuit. (c) Pete O'Donovan
