In reply to UKC News:
I think the project is really interesting and while I don't want to take away from that as a very valid news item I think Ondra's last day in in Italy really deserves a separate news item too.
He redpointed a 9a+ FA (his third day on it) and then did another 9a FA on his fourth try. This is on the back the other two incredible days just before. In total he did 6 grade 9 routes in four days which surely smashes any previous record for hard routes in a short time by a mile.
First day
Queen Line 9b FA
Ultimatum - 9a+
Second day
rest day?
Third day
Lapsus 9b
Perfect Man 2.0 - 9a 2nd go
Fourth day
Naturalmente - 9a+ FA
La Terza Eta - 9a FA 4th go
That's truly a jaw-dropping achievement, completely unprecedented.
