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

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.
Outdoor bouldering isโฆ
