Adam Ondra flashes Foundations Edge (8C)
Adam Ondra has flashed Dave Grahamโs classical Foundations Edge (8C) in Fionnay. โAmazing moment, everything was perfect. Thanks Dylan and Marci for the beta. For the grade, definitely not the hardest 8C, but low-end 8C seems to be consensus probably. Hard to tell when you flash with perfect execution.โ (c) Crimp Films
It is the same boulder Yannick Flohรฉ flashed in July and later Jules Marchaland became the second climber to flash an 8C, with Power of Now direct.
Two days later, the 32-year-old quickly sent Big nose (8C). โAbsolute masterpiece! Very very good flash go, last second decision of changing the beta cost me the flash. For the grade, probably similar to Foundation Edge?โ
Previously, Adam has flashed 22 boulders 8B or 8B+ and he is the All Time High number one also in the flash ranking game.
