Adam Ondra flashes El Elegido (8B+)

Adam Ondra has flashed Beta Rocasolanoโ€™s El Elegido (8B+/C) in La Pedriza. The boulder consists of 22 moves, with the first five around 8B and the remaining 17 around 8A. Adam has flashed a couple of 8B+'s before but in his usual honest style, only Jade (8B+) was not given a personal down grade. (c) Ruben Diaz

On Instagram he comments, "It is possibly the bouldering flash ascent that I value the most, even though I probably canโ€™t take the slash grade." The picture is from his FA of Elemental (8B+). "Start like El Elegido, but after first three moves go straight. Maybe a bit harder than Elegido, but less pumpy. Good line for sure!"
