Ondra’s Hardest Route?

Having flashed, onsighted and then downgraded many of the Red River Gorge's hardest routes, Adam Ondra has now bolted what he calls his "lifetime project".

Having flashed, onsighted and then downgraded many of the Red River Gorge’s hardest routes, Adam Ondra has now bolted what he calls his “lifetime project”. The line is located at the Chocolate Factory crag between Pure Imagination 5.14c and Golden Ticket 5.14c. The first 30 feet of the route consists of four or five boulder problems that Ondra believes he can climb individually. Linking them (and the rest of the route) however, will pose a bigger challenge. One can only guess at the final grade.

Photos of the new super route can be found here.
