Adam Ondra has made the second ascent of Stefano Ghisolfi's Lapsus, 9b, at Andonno, Italy.

He then went on to repeat Matteo Gambaro's Perfect Man 2.0, 9a, at Castelbianco later the same day. He did it 2nd go.

That's two 9b's, one 9a+ and one 9a in three days, one of which I think was a rest day... The best sport climber of all time has never been better than he is right now. 

Soon Adam will be back in Flatanger to do battle with his mighty 9c project, but first Stockholm and The Project.

How many existing 9b's has he not done? (excluding un-climbed projects of course)
21 Apr, 2017
I think it's maybe 4: Neanderthal, which he nearly did earlier this year. El Bonne Combat at 9b/+, Jumbo Love in the US, Fight Club in Canada. There is also Akira though unconfirmed, chipped, and possibly more of a boulder problem. And two-ish? boulder-routes in Spain.

There's also a couple of slash grade routes. Marina Superstar he gave a slash grade to because he didn't want his first 9b to be downgraded. And then there's Megos's Supernova which he gave a German grade of 11+. Theoretically when converted to French it's also 9a+/b.
