Adam Ondra has done the first repetition of Markus Bock’s Corona, 9a+ in Frankenjura.
He did it in just 8 attempt.

 
The route starts up the 1984 8c testpiece "Burn 4 U" before breaking off right up a severe set of sharp edges and pockets.

The route has no rest and 3 sections:
– around 10 easier moves in the grade 7a
– 6 moves 8b bloc
– 15 moves 8b route


Bock describes the ascent as follows: "This is definitely the hardest route I’ve ever climbed and at the same time one of the best lines in the Frankenjura. I think that the route could be harder than Action Directe.”
