Adam Ondra flashes 8B+ again
Adam Ondra, who last month moved with his family to the Arco region, has sent Ziqqurat (8C) in Gaby. - โSuch a perfect problem! not far from flash. 3rd tryโ (c) Crimp Films
The next day he visited Champorcher where he flashed Gliese 581 (8B+). โStart felt quite hard, final jump felt OK. Maybe 8B?โ, and on his first go sent The ghost ship (8B+).
โMajestic! Freaking moment! Log it as a redpoint for ethical purity even though in my mind it is non-pure flash and the hardest flash I have ever done (so far!). I did a rappel and touched (cleaned) the holds before the try.โ
This was the third 8B+ flash for Adam in 2025, who sent Soudain seul (9A) in February. On Instagram he comments further,
โSome of the best days of my life in bouldering ๐ Amazing weather and world-class problems. I went all in for flash on Ziqqurat 8C with beta ant tips from Marcello Bombardi, I got close... But it turns out I should really improve my toehooking game ๐ Ziqqurat is one of the best problems I have ever done, but Ghost Ship is probably even better.โ

Ondraโs story behind Soudain Seul (9A)
Adam Ondra sent Soudain seul (9A) last month in just five sessions. โDefinitely on the soft side, probably harder than 8C+? I would be very interested to be able to compare to other exisiting 9A's. A dream of a boulder.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.
