Adam Ondra flashes 8B (+) in Sweden
Adam Ondra has flashed Luftig kรถ till nรฅlens รถga (8B+) at Kjugekull. โProbably hard 8B? Fit my style perfectly except for the last move. Did it with the left heel and then the cut loose was so much on the limit!โ
This was the fourth problem graded 8B+ that Ondra has flashed however, he's downgraded all but one of these flash successes to 8B. (c) Paul-Martin Luc, who shared the beta with Ondra, said that, "He came very prepared and knew basically all boulders from watching videos."
On Instagram Ondra further adds, "Everything flowed really well, I got all technical details [down] perfectly on this compression beast and I found myself at the final cut-loose, where I just tried really really hard (canโt remember when I had to try so hard in the span of just a second) and I was on the top."

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
