Day 2 - Ondra has finished pitch 13
Adam Ondra comes with the great news on Instagram,
"Tired but relieved face! Made it up to the start of pitch 14! As @alexhonnold brought some dark chocolate for @tommycaldwell and @kjorgeson on their push and it seemed it helped them, Heinz did the same today. But he told me that I must deserve it first:-) And send pitch 10. I did in rather dramatic way on my 2nd go. Then, I almost finished the chocolate while having a few heartbreaking goes on the pitch 12 to calm my nerves. Luckily it all worked out and we are getting deserved sleep. More detailed info on @blackdiamond and @mytendon coming soon."
On Pavel Blazek's Instagram, Adam explains that he actually did send pitch 12 on his fourth go and here you have the full report on Black Diamond including speculating an upgrade of an 8b+ pitch. Tendon has also presented all news from Adam the last month.
Tomorrow Adam plans to rest and then go for the crux pitches; 9a, 9a and 8c+. It should be noted that during the FA Caldwell and Jorgesson needed six days to do the first 13 pitches swing lead, i.e. half on top rope.

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.
