Adam Ondra FAs Fantazija (9a+) and onsights two 8cโ€™s

Adam Ondra has had yet another day for the record books by onsighting two 8cโ€™s and putting up a 9a+ in Ter. The 30-year-old has now onsighted 95 routes 8c to 9a and redpointed 76 routes 9a+ to 9c. (c) Kuba Sobotka

Fantazija (9a+): โ€Just right of Umetnost. Bolted by Rajko Zajc and tried by Jernej Kruder. Easier intro into a very intense power endurance masterpiece. Tried one day with wrong beta and got quite close, next day [did it] first try. Fantastic route, but mostly if your span is at 180cm at minimum. If you are shorter, it might go but much harder.โ€

Kingslayer (8c): โ€Hard to find a route so perfect, anywhere in the world. Not so clear for onsight, had to dig quite deep.โ€

Inferno do vrha (8c): โ€Almost as good as Kingslayer :-D epic fight to end the day.โ€
