Be repeating Made in Poland at Wielka Cima/Podzamcze, Poland, Adam Ondra has climbed his 100th 9a.

The first ascent of this vertical route on smooth limestone was made by Lukasz Dudek in the summer of 2010 and this was the first repeat.

Made in Poland is a combination of three existing routes, Power of Love, Pijane Trojkaty and Pierwszy Krok ku Doskonalosci.

Apparently Adam made his ascent in very cold conditions, making the slippery footholds even slippier and his quick ascent all the more impressive.

What's next for the young Czech I don't know but given the form he has displayed lately (always) he is bound for even greater things than we've seen before.

Adam Ondra is sponsored by: Beal, Black Diamond, Entre-Prises, Hudy Sports, La Sportiva and Montura

Beat me to it! Anyway, 100th>9a really would be impressive. As it is, he's clearly a bit of a slacker.

His comments about Hubble in that interview were pretty interesting.

68 9a's, 20 9a+, 9 9b and 3 9b+ The pyramid looks a bit flat. He should sharpen it up a bit with 2 9c's and a 9c+.
