Two 9a (+) FAs and six 8b (+) OS by Adam Ondra

Adam Ondra has been on a family trip to Croatia climbing at, Vranjaฤa where he onsighted five routes 8a to 8b+ in one day. Later he bolted and made the FA of A je to! (9a+). At Paklenica the following day he onsighted another three routes 8a+ to 8b+. The Instagram picture is from Moskito (8b). "Short, burly but very visionary route from the Austrian climber, Gerhard Hรถrhager, that I was very happy to onsight in the crazy heatโ˜๏ธ"

Adam is currently in Arco for the Rock Masters and as a warm-up for the event he did the FA of Chiave della volta (9a). โ€40 meters of slightly overhanging madness, one of the best in Arco in my opinion. Just incredible route that felt around 9a/a+?โ€

Adam has redpointed over 200 routes 9a to 9c, and has onsighted 197 8b+ to 9a, which is at least five times more than the closest runner-up.
