Adam Ondra claims world’s first 9a+ flash at St. Léger

Adam Ondra has made a flash ascent of Super Crackinette at Saint Léger in France. This is the first time a 9a+ has successfully been flashed.

This is the first time in climbing history that a 9a+ has been climbed in this style, i.e. first go and knowing something about the climb, and even if details at present are missing, it’s clear that the 25-year-old Czech has raised the bar once again.
