His recent swift repeat of Markus Bock's Frankenjura testpiece Corona (F9a+) has cemented his already firm position at the very pinnacle of the sport.According to 8a.nu in the last year Ondra has redpointed a gargantuan 58 routes of F8c to F9a+ and onsighted 47 routes between 8b and 8c.On a recent 6 day trip to Kalymnos, Ondra ticked the following routes:Gaia 8b – Odyssey – ONSIGHTGora guta gutarak 8c(+) – ONSIGHTNadir 8b+ – ONSIGHTSardonique 8a – ONSIGHTDaniboy 8a – ONSIGHTThe Path to Deliverance 8a – ONSIGHTSpartan Wall 8b – ONSIGHTLos Revolucionarios 9a – FIRST ASCENTJaws 8c – FLASH Les Arts du Vide 8b – FLASHDNA extension 8a+ – ONSIGHTTitantrope 8c+ – SECOND GOInshallah 8c+ – SECOND GOMammifere Vibes 8a+ ?

Despite his 16 years of age, he has already taken sport climbing to a new dimension. In Kalymnos we were awestruck by his ability, speed and deep passion for climbing. Adam seems to have this effect even on the specialists, as Dani Andrada and Chris Sharma speechlessly watched him breeze through the 9a's in Spain last spring, prompting Chris to declare that he now feels ?like an amateur!?.The photo gallery below is of Adam Ondra repeating Corona (F9a+).
