Ondra: "This 8C+ boulder line is pretty shitty, but cool to climb"

In 2011, at the age of 18, Adam Ondra made the first ascent of the Terranova boulder (8C+) in the Moravian Karst. The boulder lay dormant for a long time until Jana Svecova and Will Bosi discovered the boulder and began to project it.

In this video, Adam Ondra the strong Czech climber Jana Svecova a day of project work. "It felt good to feel the holds under my fingers again. And even though the line itself is pretty shitty, it's a lot of fun to climb the boulder," says Ondra.

I find it quite funny that such an unspectacular low ball became so famous.
