Adam Ondra flashes 8b boulder and more

As part of his Zillertal and Schleierwasserfall trip, Adam Ondra successfully flashed the 8b boulder Zwerg Bums Di and numerous other hard bouldering and climbing routes.

Adam Ondra makes short work again. A day in the Zillertal and a day at the Schleier waterfall were enough to present an incredible ticklist. in the Zillertal Adam climbed next to the boulder Dwarf bums di (8b) the sport climbing route Walk the Line (9a) in the third attempt, the 8b route flashed Pacemaker and committed Californication (8a +) onsight.

The Boulder nihilist sit (8b +) he almost got himself in flash style. After the flash attempt failed, the finger skin was gone Adam suffered so much that it no longer worked on the first move.

Alexander Huber's climbing route upgraded to 9a

On the second day Adam Ondra made the routes unsafe at the Schleier waterfall, where he succeeded in repeating the Orca route (8c +) for the first time. The route was through 19 years ago Alexander Huber first started and has not been repeated since

For the Route Orca by Alex Huber, I suggest rating 9a.

A 9a visit within a day is not enough for Adam Ondra. On the same day he climbs the Warm Shower Route (8c / 8c +) in the onsight style. The route is a combination of the climbing routes Ice Age and Black Pearl.
