Adam Ondra | My Hardest Boulder Flash of 2024 So Far! #bouldering @AdamOndra | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
It was my first time proper bouldering in Sweden this spring, and what a day it was ✊
Pretty unique how one single bloc can produce such an amazing quality line. I saw a video of this unique compression roof-arete a few years ago, and I knew I absolutely had to climb it one day. I had a great crew with strong locals, lots of beta available and amazing and motivating vibes.
The higher start to this arete is “Luftig kö till nålens öga” originally graded 8B+, then 8B was suggested. The lower start is called “Den nattliga havsfärden”, originally graded 8C by first ascentionist @carl.nilsask and repeated by @pauer.bouldering recently, suggesting maybe 8B+ ✌
At first, I was described perfect beta by @pauer.bouldering I went for the flash of higher start “Luftig kö till nålens öga”. Everything flowed really well, I got all technical details perfectly on this compression beast and I found myself at the final cut-loose, where I just tried really really hard (can’t remember when I had try so hard in the span of just a second) and I was on the top. I think hard 8B fits this line☝
Then I went for the sitstart, kept giving tries until late evening, I got close, but I will have return! I think this start could be soft 8C? Amazing line and a day not to forget!
Thank you the whole Kjuge crew.
