Still good news from the Arco<\/strong> territories: Adam Ondra<\/strong> has freed a new route, with a probable 9a grade. While Stefano Ghisolfi<\/strong> is focusing on extreme projects such as Excalibur<\/strong>, Adam prefers to alternate and devotes himself to other “easier” pitches in the meantime. In the famous Red Point Wall<\/strong> in Laghel<\/strong> he has conquered a new FA that looks really tasty from the photos, calling it Pungitopo<\/strong>. The rock looks super and the line is no less. Ondra tried the route with the local Franz Morandi<\/strong>, borrowing the method from him and managing to solve the shot in a short time. Regarding the grade, the pitch could be around 9a<\/strong> but new ascents are expected for confirmation.<\/p>\n On a long Spanish vacation, Domen Skofic<\/strong> proves that he did not win the lead World Cup in 2016 by sheer luck. Interspersing the main projects with easier climbs, Domen made two interesting pitches: Gypsy blood<\/strong> and JoeDan<\/strong>. The first is a solid 8c+, a grade which also confirms Skofic. The second, on the other hand, is a very hard 8c+<\/strong>, for which Domen proposes a full 9a<\/strong>. Furthermore, the Slovenian phenomenon has decided to climb the pitch without using the kneepad, a tool that is increasingly heard in high-level climbing news. Undoubtedly, if we continue in this direction, we will soon see heated discussions on the use of the kneepan, a topic that has remained quite muted until now.<\/p>\n From Athletes’ IG page<\/p>\n Alessandro Palma<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adam Ondra and Domen Skofic again 9a!
