8c+ onsight by Adam Ondra
Adam Ondra has onsighted his 19th 8c+, First Flight in Acephale. Later he also onsighted Ojas 8b+ in the most impressive style. "Slab! no chalk on the wall, clipping the draws"
Gripped reports that Megos in 2016 said, "If anybody ever onsights that thing, thatโs at least as impressive as flashing 9a."
In total he has now onisghted 162 routes 8b+ and harder and it is actually in the onsight discipline, he is most superior. The runner up in the 8a database is Piots Schaab with 22 onsights 8b+ and 8c. Overall, Kleman Becan could be the runner up and a wild guess is that he has onsighted around 35 routes 8b+ and harder.
(c) Petr Pavlicek, who reports that this and many more ascents will be put on Yoitube soon.
