8B+ (C) by Carlo Traversi

In the picture you can see that he had to place a jacket on the top as it just started to rain. "Just before the storm. Really nice to finish this thing off before leaving Magic Wood. Almost sent first day and thought it could be 8B, but 3 days of falling on the same move and it makes sense as 8B+. Strangely powerful climbing."

Adam Ondra grades interview

UPClimbing has asked Adam some interesting questions about grades. Concerning the diatribe between Nalle Hukkataival and Paul Robinson: how important do you think it is to declare your beta? I think it’s important, in order to be respectful towards the first ascender. We could say that Nalle’s behavior on that occasion was a bit offensive towards Paul.
