Bon Voyage E12 (9a): This is behind Adam Ondra's ascent

In February, Adam Ondra repeated the Trad test piece par excellence in a very short space of time: Bon Voyage E12 (9a). What's behind the impressive climb by the strong Czech.

Bon Voyage is not only probably the hardest trad route in the world, but also the most difficult line to protect yourself Adam Ondra's long climbing career. That is quite something. Even though the 31-year-old climbing professional was able to climb the route very quickly, there was a lot more preparation behind the first ascent of Bon Voyage - see for yourself.
