Newsflash 'Hard 8B' flash for Adam Ondra
Adam Ondra has flashed Luftig kö till nålens öga, an 8B boulder at Hultastenen, Kjugekull, Sweden.
Adam Ondra has done the 2nd ascent of Markus Bock's Corona, 9a+, in the Frankenjura, commenting on his 8a-scorecard that he used a different, tall man's, sequence.This is what Bocki told me about the route: "The route starts with around 10 easier moves in the grade 7a or so, then the 6 move 8B bloc. and then without any rest a 15 move 8b route." "For me it's definitely harder than 'Action directe' cause I spent so many days on it and it suits me much better than Action directe. About the style: It's about 120 degrees steep, on small 2 finger pockets with really bad footholds. Technical and powerful, all the time "under tension"."
