Watch Adam Ondra climb his second hardest route ever, Menagerie, Hard 9b+.

Menagerie, also known as Zvěřinec, is at Adam's home crag of Moravian Karst, and is the fifth 9b+ that he has climbed. His other 9b+ routes are Change (L1+L2) (9b+), La Dura Dura (9b+)Move (9b+), and Vasil Vasil, all of which he established.

Both Menagerie and Vasil Vasil, as well as Silence - the world's first 9c route - are yet to receive repeats.

Upon finishing the route, Adam said 'I'm pretty sure it's the second hardest climb of my life. Silence (9c), and then this one'. You can read our full report of Adam's ascent of Menagerie here.

Will Bosi is the runner up for sure.
