Finally rock under your fingers again: Adam Ondra commits highball boulder Milnik

Adam Ondra has devoted the past few weeks to speed training, a discipline in which he wants to improve with regard to the Summer Olympics. Now he was finally on the rock again and climbed several highballs.

Adam Ondra made a short visit to the Stránská skála area near Brno. The area can be reached quickly and is therefore often visited. Adam climbed here when he was a child accompanied by his father and later with his buddy Martin Stranik.

One line remained unused until recently: minik (8a). The line was originally set up as a climbing route, but never climbed red dot. Adam Ondra has now climbed the route without a rope and thus a highballBoulder opened. More on this in the latest video in his series "Road to Tokyo".
