Change, 9b+
Last summer, Black Diamond athlete Adam Ondra made a highly productive trip to Hanshalleren, a massive granite cave outside the small town of Flatanger, Norway. Adam not only made short work of the cave's established hard routes (including onsighting two routes graded 5.14c/8c+), he made the first ascent of Thor's Hammer (5.15a/9a+) and bolted a futuristic project out the steepest section of the cave. On October 4, Adam managed to link this 55-meter-long beast, establishing Change, the world's first route graded 5.15c/9b+. Along with his recent first ascent of La Dura Dura in Oliana, Spain, Change stands as one of, if not the hardest route in the world.
Ondra - Flatanger 9b+
Adam Ondra, the best sportsclimber in the word, are visiting Flatanger in Norway. He has created a very hard route, proberly a 9b or 9b+. In this video he's trying to climb the first meters of the 55 meter route. Hanshelleren, the famous Flatanger Cave, has been known as the most spectacular climping destination in Europe, especialy in the sommer as the climat is perfect and the granit in the cave is hard and dry.
