Ondra's OS record as a kid is still superior

Although we have seen many super impressive redpoints by kids in the last few weeks, on par with Adam Ondra's standards, the unique thing with Adam is his multiple ascents, especially his onsights. At age 12, Adam onsighted 19 8a+' and 8 8b's. Then, within two weeks of turning a teenager, he had added two 8b+ and three 8b's onsight on his scorecard. On his 15th birthday, he did his first 8c onsight and comparing his onsight tick list of 2008 to the best adults today, he would have been one of the very best.

The lesson learnt from this is that kids, and their parents, should try to work more on their onsight level and multiple easier redpoints rather than going for a long redpoint project. It might be very hard for a kid to send an extreme redpoint grade and then realize other easier graded routes are much harder.
