Adam Ondra does Narcissus (9a) second go
Adam Ondra has done
Narcissus (9a) in Oltrefinale / Albenga, on his second go. โAmazing line by Matteo Gambaro. Me and Seb [Bouin] we both used kneepads and took kind of different direction/beta on the very top (what we believe is more intuitive) which makes it much easier. and I think it could be soft 9a like this. The way Matteo did it is much harder and could be even 9a+?โ (c) Jara Sijka
The 40 meter route is a link up of two 8b+โ with a hard roof section in between, Gambaro was 45 when he did the FA.
Adam has also added two more 8c+'s to his scorecard meaning that he is fast approaching 500 ascents 8c+ and harder.
Vitamania (8c+) - โ Did it in the evening after sending Bon Voyage (2 tries), more filming in BV and on the way down, I checked it for 10min, rested 3mins and did it with headlamp. Probably soft 8c+?โ
Stรฉroรฏde bul (8c+) - โ So close to flash after Jules showed me the moves.โ

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
