anyone know how many tries or days it took him?

Article says it took him 10 days,3 tries each day. Got another question though. On the bigup blog it says:

Anyway, incredible achievement. Imagine what this guy can do if he dedicates as much time to a project as Sharma does...

i say maybe Sharma was Sandbaging the grades.. or his type of routes are a different style from what Adam is used to, that's why he felt it harder.

that's just my opinion.

and about that czech website, i can just find the photos. i did not find anything written!
