He is the only athlete so far to have won the World Championships in both disciplines, during the 2014 edition. He holds an analogous record in the World Cup, being the only athlete to have won it in both lead (2009 edition) and bouldering (2010 edition).

As of February 2018, Ondra is the only climber to have redpointed a route with a proposed grade of 9c (5.15d) (Silence, September 3, 2017),[1] . He climbed 1491 routes between 8a (5.13b) and 9c (5.15d), of which 3 were at 9b+ (5.15c) and 3 were onsights at 9a (5.14d).[2]

He is also the first climber to have redpointed a route with a proposed grade of 9b+ (5.15c) (Change, October 4, 2012),[3] and the second to have onsighted a 9a (5.14d) route (Cabane au Canada, July 9, 2013).[4] According to The Economist Ondra is "regarded as possibly the best climber ever to fondle rock".[5]

Biography

Adam Ondra at the IFSC Lead Worldcup Imst 2009

Ondra started climbing at the age of six; his parents are climbers and they shared their passion with him.

In 1999 (at age six) at Rovinj in Croatia Ondra climbed easy 6a (5.10a) routes with bolts every half meter. But soon he became famous in climbing magazines, as his achievements quickly grew more and more notable:

  • In 2001 (at age eight) he onsighted 7b+ (5.12c) routes.
  • In 2002 (at age nine) he onsighted 7c+ (5.13a) and redpointed 8a (5.13b).
  • In 2003 (at age ten) he onsighted 8a (5.13b).
  • In 2004 (at age eleven) he onsighted 8a+ (5.13c)[6] and redpointed 8c (5.14b).
  • In 2005 (at age twelve) he onsighted 8b (5.13d).
  • In 2006 (at age thirteen) he managed to redpoint his first 9a (5.14d), Martin Krpan at Misja Pec.

In 2007 and 2008 he won the IFSC Youth World Championship, category Youth B.

In 2009, at age sixteen, Ondra competed for the first time in the Lead Climbing World Cup, winning ahead of Spanish Patxi Usobiaga and Japanese Sachi Amma.[7]

In 2010 he also won the Bouldering World Cup, ahead of Austrian Kilian Fischhuber and Japanese Tsukuru Hori, and becoming the first athlete in history to win both the disciplines (lead and bouldering).[8]

On March 2011, during a trip in Spain, Ondra became the second person ever to have onsighted 8c+ (5.14c) after Patxi Usobiaga. In only a few days he onsighted five 8c+ (5.14c) routes (two of which on the same day).[9]

On October 4, 2012, Ondra sent Change, in the Hanshelleren Cave, Flatanger, Norway. It was the first route to receive a proposed grade of 9b+ (5.15c).[3][10]

On October 29, 2012, Ondra flashed one of the Red River Gorge's hardest routes, Southern Smoke Direct 9a+ (5.15a), suggesting the grade of 9a (5.14d).[11][12] On November 1, he onsighted Pure Imagination and The Golden Ticket, both 9a, suggesting the grade of 8c+.[13]

On February 7, 2013, Ondra sent La Dura Dura, in Oliana, Catalonia, Spain, his second 9b+ (5.15c) after Change. He worked on this project with Chris Sharma and the first ascent took Ondra nine weeks of work.[14]

On February 9, 2013, just two days after La Dura Dura, Ondra succeeded in the second ascent of the 9b (5.15b) Fight or flight, first climbed by Sharma in 2011.[15]

On July 9, 2013, Ondra realized the second 9a (5.14d) onsight in history after Alexander Megos, with the ascent of Cabane au Canada in Rawyl, Switzerland.[4]

On November 21, 2016, Ondra completed the second free ascent of The Dawn Wall, a 5.14d (9a) multi-pitch route in Yosemite Valley, California. The route is widely regarded as the hardest big wall in the world. Ondra was also the first person to lead every pitch.[16] The first free ascent was completed by Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson in January 2015.

On April 23, 2017, he set a new highpoint of the Black Diamond Project in Stockholm, Sweden. Believed to be the hardest indoor sport route in the world.

On September 3, 2017, Ondra sent Silence, in the Hanshelleren Cave, Flatanger, Norway. It was the first route to receive a proposed grade of 9c (5.15d). The route was previously known as Project Hard. He worked on the project for about 4 years.[1]
