Adam Ondra flashes El Elegido (8B+)
Adam Ondra has flashed Beta Rocasolanoโs
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 canโt 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!"

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.
