The few who questioned whether Adam Ondra had taken onsighting into the next realm should now stand corrected. Adam followed up his two 8c+ onsights from the weekend, with two more in the Aragón region, Powerade at Vadiello and El templo del café at Alquezar. Not content with this he continued by making a 2nd go ascent of Desafiando a Tsunami for a third 8c+ of the day and as a cool down Noa, 8b, onsight.

I disagree - 3 8c+'s in a day , 2 onsight, 1 second go at a time when only one other climber has ever onsighted 8c+ is utterly outstanding, never mind the fact that he onsighted 2 more 8c+s at the weekend. Climbing is not just about the number its about the style

Best get too it then. Sure you can show Ondra the way. (Sigh)

One other has climbed the same grade you mean. Did Patxi then go on to onsight three more in as many days? Plus another one second go, as well as an 8c, 8b+ and 8b onsight in amongst? If you don't think this is the "next realm" or the "next generation" at work or whatever you want to call it then you must be tripping!

Maybe less time yawning and more time getting out climbing/training if you are going to show Ondra that 8c+ isn't that impressive any more. Then again, with 7a+ as your best onsight level, i reckon he might be worried.
