Adam Ondra reaches 14 000 points

Adam Ondra is back in his high school class room after yet another trip to Spain. Only the 10 recorded climbs from this trip would have made him #1 in the ranking game. In total, he has registered 1 245 climbs and he has reached 14 000 points, i.e. an average out of his Top-10 of 9b. The 18-year-old is more than 1 000 points, i.e. two grades ahead of the runner up. For his FA of La Planta de Shiva 9b, Adam says, "Obsession about this route, one of my hardest so far, pure endurance climbing with few rests, continuously hard with minimum of rests, took 7 days of cleaning, trying and brushing (it had been already bolted)."
