Strangely omitted from the news section, but Adam Ondra did a new 9b a few days ago at a crag close to St Leger. He was pleased that he did it so fast: "it only took three days and 9 tries, plus one try two years ago".

Impressive that he can knock out 9b in just 3 days. There must now be a twenty day 9c somewhere just waiting to be climbed...

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I remember Ondra saying that he has tried projects that were too hard for him that he thought might be 9c, southern Spain maybe, and doubtless there are unfinished Sharma lines at Oliana and possibly elsewhere too.

Out of interest (only!) where exactly is this crag? I know where St Leger is and know the village Mollans.
Thanks.

It's already been done.
FYI, there's chatter about it on the Secret Forum right now. Allegedly.

You didn't hear that from me.
