Adam Ondra flashes 8B+ again

Adam Ondra, who last month moved with his family to the Arco region, has sent Ziqqurat (8C) in Gaby. - โ€Such a perfect problem! not far from flash. 3rd tryโ€ (c) Crimp Films

The next day he visited Champorcher where he flashed Gliese 581 (8B+). โ€Start felt quite hard, final jump felt OK. Maybe 8B?โ€, and on his first go sent The ghost ship (8B+).
โ€Majestic! 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,

โ€Some of the best days of my life in bouldering ๐Ÿ‘Œ 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 ๐Ÿ˜€ Ziqqurat is one of the best problems I have ever done, but Ghost Ship is probably even better.โ€
