Adam Ondra

Perhaps no climber in modern times has been able to switch focus so effectively between competition performance and outdoor climbing as Adam Ondra. In 2014, Adam took gold at both the Bouldering and Lead Climbing World Championships while also putting in solid performances in World Cup events and winning the coveted La Sportiva Legends Only Competition. In the same year, Adam climbed his hundredth route of 9a/5.14d or harder, made the first repeat of Chris Sharma's 'First Round, First Minute' (9b/5.15b) and onsighted no fewer than three 9a routes. Proof perhaps that it is possible to excel on rock and plastic simultaneously...you just have to be Adam Ondra to do it.
