Nov 18: Adam Ondra - Open Air - His Hardest Yet
by Kevin Avery - Contributing Editor - UKC
Yesterday Adam Ondra, the fifteen year old wonderkid from Brno in the Czech Republic, made the long awaited second ascent of Alexander Huber's 1996 route Open Air at Austria's Schleier Wasserfall.
The route took Ondra five days and nine attempts in total and he comments on his scorecard on 8a.nu that he feels it is his hardest ascent to date. The route was originally given F9a when first climbed by Huber but Ondra feels that with grade benchmarks having changed over the years, the route is more than worthy of the F9a+ tag
