Adam Ondra on one of his countless accomplishments in Frankenjura, Becoming, 9a+.

Frankenjura is a special place for Adam Ondra. This was the forge of the high difficulty of his great reference, the unforgettable Wolfgang Gullich, who first climbed some of the most difficult routes in the world at the time.

But Frankenjura is also much more. The forest that seems to have come out of a fairytale and those rock towers that seem to emerge from nowhere and on which thousands of paths develop in the countless sectors. The magic of this place has always deeply affected Adam and he often comes back here.

In October 2019, climbed Becoming, a 9a+ route which, like practically all the pitches here, is characterized by violent movements always on the fingers and no rest from the first to the last movement.
