Adam Ondra na lezeckém tripu v Kanadě zkoušel flashnout novou cestu od tamního lezce za 9a+, což se mu sice nepovedlo, dal ji na 2. pokus, ale její klasu snížil na 9a. V novém příspěvku na Instagramu Adam vysvětluje, jak mu uklouzla ruka, kterou šáhl do mokrého chytu.

Bylo to na začátku u 4. nýtu, pak se nechal spustit a po několika minutách oddechu cestu vylezl:

Honour and Glory. Amazing 45m line up in Collosseum, scenic crag high above the town of Canmore was one of the reasons why I went to Canada. One of the few 9a+ (5.15a) that looked flashable and I still had not tried it. Put up by @hauonearth last year, really tremendous effort to open and clean this line into this gem. Yesterday was a special day. @hauonearth and @miles_adamson was there to share the beta with me (thank you so much!), @bigupclimbing @bernartwood and @sonnietrotter were there to film this for @reelrock . I felt ready. I set off and I felt awesome, just flowing up the route. Yet very soon, at 4th bolt it was all over. I did not want to waste my energy drying up my hand after touching a wet hold, as a good hold was getting closer, and this hand slipped. I lowered back to the ground immediately, rested for a few minutes and "flashed" the route on my 2nd go. As for the grade though, my opinion is that it fits more into 9a (5.14d) range. @blackdiamond @lasportivagram @lasportivagram @mytendon @gardatrentino  Repost of @sonnietrotter

Cesta se jmenuje Honour and Glory, je v oblasti Echo Canyon u Canmore v Albertě a její autor cesty Evan Hau ukázal Adamovi klíčové kroky a po Adamově přelezu akceptoval shození klasy s tím, že od loňského prvovýstupu místní lezci nedávno přišli na nové sekvence.
