BD athlete Adam Ondra redpoints WoGü (8c) and onsights Hotel Supramonte (8b+)
Between the summer and fall of 2008, Black Diamond athlete Adam Ondra, the world’s new sport climbing wunderkind, attempted two separate multi-pitch routes: WoGü (8c) and Hotel Supramonte (8b+). The route in Ratikon, WoGü, had never been freed, and the other, Hotel Supramonte in Sardinia, had yet to be onsighted. The young Czech surprisingly conquered both feats, raising the bar for climbing on routes of this kind. With him for both ascents was fellow BD athlete Pietro Dal Pra. Although the news of Ondra's ascents may be old, here are a few photos of Ondra on WoGü taken by Beat Kammerlander, the man who orginally bolted the line.
