8C by Ondra as a preparation for ECH and his 9c project

Adam Ondra has, besides two 8C+'s, done his tenth 8C, Krater in Holstejn. "Kind of training lap, but hard nevertheless. Two 8Bs in a row for sure. Blatant + Kra". During the next weekend, Ondra will compete in the Lead World Cup in Campitello. (c) Arto Froute Planet Mountain has presented an interview where Ondra gives details about his 9c project in Flatanger he plans to continue working after the European Championship. "The climb is about 45m long, the first 20m are about 8b climbing with a couple of really really good knee-bars. Then comes the crux boulder problem, 10 moves of 8C. And when I say 8C boulder problem, I really mean it. Actually, it’s the boulder problem that took me the most time to link!" After that there is an upside down knee bar that has gone from bad to OK after a lot of training so now he plans to stay one minute in the bat hang. Then there is a 4-move 8B followed by another rest and then Project Hard finishes of with an insecure 7C boulder on undercling and slippery feet.
