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

Adam Ondra has been on a family trip to Croatia climbing at, Vranjača 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 Hörhager, that I was very happy to onsight in the crazy heat☝️"

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). ”40 meters of slightly overhanging madness, one of the best in Arco in my opinion. Just incredible route that felt around 9a/a+?”

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.
