Seven 8b (+)'s OS by Adam Ondra

Adam Ondra has taken some days off from his hard Olympic training regime and onsigthed seven routes 8b and 8b+' in Croatia. He also did redpoint, All in, I'm out in Kompanj giving it a personal 8c+ upgrade, commenting, "I believe if this route is 8c, all Kompanj must be downgraded, amazing route." Adam is known for being the hardcore climber in the world giving most personal grades, although most are downgrades. In total, he has now onsighted 324 routes 8b to 9a, using his personal grades, meaning he is actually much more superior onsighting compared to redpoint. Ramon Julian Puigblanque is the potential #2 in this onsight category with 85 onsights 8b and harder.

Adam Ondra is the top global climber suggesting the most personal, i.e. honest grades. His amazing tick list would have been even more impressive if he had skipped the honesty part and just taken the topo grade.
