Emil Abrahamsson has created an exciting comparison video showing Adam Ondra and Stefano Ghisolfi on the world's most difficult route. The Swedish climber has divided the 9c route Silence into individual sections and compares the beta of the two climbing greats Ondra and Ghisolfi.

Stefano Ghisolfi has been tirelessly projecting Silence, the world's first 9c route, for the past few weeks. In order not to return home from Flatanger completely empty-handed, the strong Italian finally picked out a small side project: Move Hard (9b).

In his adopted home of Arco, Adam Ondra did what he loves to do and is also best at: onsight climbing. There are numerous hard routes in the Covolo sector, including Silvio Reffo's first ascent of La Musa (9a) or Guerriero Del Futoro (9a). You can see in the video whether the strong Czech was successful in his project.

Dylan Chuat is one of the Swiss climbing elite. Again and again he draws attention to himself with the inspection of difficult routes or hard boulders. At the end of May he managed his first 9a+ route in Rawyl with Hyper Finale. In the following video, the 21-year-old Romand explains what the second ascent of the Adam Ondra line is all about and why this means so much to Dylan Chuat.

Stefano Ghisolfi he found a new solution for the first crux of Silence (9c). What does this mean for the entire route?

The Frenchman Theo Blass climbs Trip Tik Tonik (9a) in the Gorges du Loup. The 12-year-old is the youngest climber to date who was able to climb the difficulty level 9a red point. For Theo Blass it is already the second record: in 2020 he pushed the age limit for 8c to ten years with Souvenirs du pic.

How do Ghisolfi and Ondra keep fit when they project a 9c route for a longer period of time? This video provides insight.

The Swiss professional climber Alex Rohr connects the routes Alpenbitter (8c+/9a) and Renardo Rules (8c/8c+) to Oblivion in the Swiss climbing Mecca Gimmelwald. He rates his new tour with a hard boulder crux as 9a.
