Adam Ondra has done his Project Hard 9c
James Riley reports that Adam Ondra has done his Project Hard in Flatanger which Adam previously has said should be the world's first 9c. Apparently they also got it on video and it is about just ten minutes of climbing in the specific Ondra speed style, besides taking very long rest in between the different cruxes.
"Basically it's a very unusual climb through a very big, very steep roof. Involving upside down Font 8C crack climbing, one legged bat hangs and lots of 3 dimensional wizardry. You'll see the video soon. Total length of route around 60 meters. (c) Jan Novak
Five years ago, the 24 year old did the world's first 9b+ with Change in Flatanger. Later the Czech has done two more 9b+'s out of which one has been repeated by Chris Sharma. In total, Adam has now done 20 routes 9b or harder and the runner up in this league is Sharma with eight.
