The most impressive are two 8c+ onsights, Barracuda in Kaitersberg and Gimmel Express in Grimmelwald. "8c in the guidebook, but it felt like dfferent level compared all the other 8c's in the last weeks... And Jonathan seems to go for 8c+ too. Amazing fight in a really desperate warm conditions." In total, the 23-year-old has now onsighted 17 routes 8c+ and three 9a's, excluding some personal grades. The runner-up in the onsight ranking is Alex Megos with one 9a and then there are some guys who have onsighted a couple 8c+'s. Furthermore, Adam did the FAs of Hyper finale 9a+ and Super finale 9a in Rawyl. Apart from that, he conquered Black Label 9a in Frankenjura in 25 minutes.
