Adam Ondra announced that he had managed to flash two 8B+ boulders in the Italian region of Aosta. One of them is Gliese 581, rated 8B+ (according to Adam, may be 8B), and the other is Ghost Ship 8B+, which Adam recorded as a flash/1st attempt because he had previously cleaned it with the help of a rope and ladder and touched the holds, as he wrote in yesterday's Facebook post.
Adam has only recorded a flash boulder difficulty of 8B+ in his diary for the Jade problem in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) in Colorado, USA, in 2015. Then, at the beginning of this year, he posted on social media about climbing the El Elegido boulder in La Pedriza, Spain, rated 8B+/C, which Adam rated 8B+.
In addition to these 8B+ climbs in the Aosta Valley, Adam has now also climbed the Ziqqurat 8C and Wheel of Champo 8B boulders, both on his third attempt.
