Adam Ondra climbs the most difficult route of Arco

Adam Ondra was visiting Arco over the Easter days and gave the famous climbing area a gift with the first ascent of Queen line the first 9b.

Adam Ondra was invited to Arco by Stefano Ghisolfi to climb difficult lines. Ondra did that too. Yesterday Ondra announced: “A new king line is born. Well, it is not king line, it is Queen Line. Incredible and super intense pitch in Arco, bolted by Mauro Mabboni. For the grade, I am pretty sure that it is rather on the upper end of the 9b grade. Small holds, big moves, hard drop knees. My style. Direct finish to be finished yet 😉 To get the icing on the cake, i finished the day by sending Stefano Ghisolfi's Ultimatum 9a +. "
