Climbing until his fingers bleed: Adam Ondra in the conglomerate climbing area Sulov

Before the competition in Toulouse, Adam Ondra spent two days on the rocks. On the first day he managed the first ascent of the 8c Boulder Pucmeloun. On the second day he tackled the fingerhole-heavy route Chiroptera (9a +).

The Route Chiroptera was established twenty years ago and designed by Milan Benian. Nevertheless, there was still no ascent. The route is very specific, strong and also painful with its numerous finger holes. The video shows how strong Adams Fingers are affected in the red dot tests.
