Ondra makes the highpoint on the way too hard Project

It was nice to hear the interviews with Adam Ondra and his trainer Patxi Usobiaga and climbing-wise Ondra set a new highpoint at some spectacular moves through the roof. However, as the start of the route is very simple, this was not as great a show as you would have expected, especially since the route must be considered way too hard. Nobody will top it getting the 5 000 Euro. In fact, the Klättercentret has said it might be as hard as 10a and you understand that this is cover up to make sure they do not have to pay out the money. As the route is supposed to be a challenge for everyone, I find it hard to understand why they have not marked some holds or clip with grades. The idea was great but the route has to be rebuilt with a difficulty that could be possible to reach not just for Ondra.
