9a+ by Adam Ondra on the way to a harder project

Adam Ondra reports on Instagram that he has done Pachamama 9a+ in Oliana. Photo: Petr Piechowicz "Next on the list is an amazing linkup bolted by Chris Sharma of Papichulo and Pachamama," which Adam says could be 9b hard or even 9b+. In total, the Lead World Champion of the last two years has done 43 routes 9a+ and harder. In the three last Boulder World Championships, he got one gold and two silver medals. The big question for 2017 is whether the Czech is going for the Olympics or not.
