Even though nothing should surprise us anymore when it comes to Adam Ondra, he does it again! Two days ago at Covolo, he onsighted two F8c's, Una vida nomada and Nagay, and one F8b+ in one, yes one, day.
Sweet Jesus. So, day 1: onsights 2 8b+'s and an 8b, day 2:onsights an 8b+ and 2 8c's, day 3: first ascent, 2nd try, of an 8c+. Thats some big numbers. is 8c now officially " not that hard". That's feckin incredible.
It is incredible, but on a par with what you expect for someone of his standard. If a climber who was regularly doing 8a+ onsighted 2 7c's in a day you'd say 'ok, he's going well'. If the same climber did a 7c+ on his second go you'd say the same thing. Good but not totally unexpected. Andy F
