That’s the number of routes 5.11d or harder that Adam Ondra has logged on his 8a scorecard as of 4/26/2012.  That total includes a staggering 358 routes 5.14a or harder with 70 of those coming onsight.  As a point of comparison, Dave Graham has 190 5.14a or harder routes registered on his scorecard and he’s not exactly a slouch.  All this of course before Ondra has even finished High School.

Nope, 5.14d Still Hasn’t Been Onsighted…But It Won’t Be Long

There’s been a lot of tongue twisting in the climbing news-osphere about Adam Ondra‘s recent FA of Joe-cita (5.14d) in Oliana, Spain.  While he did climb that specific line on his first try, he had previously climbed a portion of the link-up while climbing other routes.  Granted, he did either onsight or flash the harder parts, but  rules are rules.  He also came close to onsighting Duele la Realidad 2R (5.14d) but had to settle for a 2nd go send.

Get your bets in now for when 5.14d is going to go down first go…
