Adam Ondra flashes Lexicon, E11 7a
The ascent is the hardest trad flash of all time, and took place with no prior inspection of the holds.
This week's Friday Night Video follows Adam Ondra on his mission to climb Soudain Seul (Font 9A), in Fontainebleau, France. He made the fourth ascent of the Simon Lorenzi problem back in February, and it was also his first at the grade.
His ascent of Soudain Seul made him one of just two climbers, alongside Jakob Schubert, to have climbed a route at 9c as well as a boulder at 9A. He has also climbed Bon Voyage (9a), meaning that he has climbed the highest grade in each of the three major disciplines of climbing.

The music mix with Adam and the French lad is hilarious! Some ridiculous screaming too. I bizarrely enjoyed the video. Usually not my style of edited video at all.
Yeah same! It was mad and rough around the edges. Made me feel like watching an oldschool climbing film
