Adam Ondra

Czech climber (born 1993)

Adam Ondra (Czech pronunciation:[ˈadamˈondra]; born February 5, 1993) is a Czech professional rock climber, specializing in lead climbing, bouldering, and competition climbing. In 2013, Rock & Ice described Ondra as a prodigy and the leading climber of his generation.^[1] Ondra is the only male athlete to have won World Championship titles in both disciplines in the same year (2014) and is one of the two male athletes (alongside Sorato Anraku in 2023) to have won the World Cup series in both disciplines (lead climbing in 2009, 2015, and 2019 and bouldering in 2010).

At age 13, Ondra redpointed his first graded 9a (5.14d) sport route. Rock & Ice noted that by 2011, he was "onsighting 5.14c's by the handful", and by 2013, had "more or less repeated every hard route in the world—easily".^[1] By end 2018, Ondra had climbed 1,550 sport routes between grades 8a (5.13b) and 9c (5.15d), of which one was a 9c (5.15d), three were 9b+ (5.15c), and three were onsights of 9a (5.14d)

Adam Ondra is considered by most to be the greatest climber of all time. For decades we’ve been hearing about his incredible feats. The first 5.15c. The first 5.15d. The first 5.15a flash. V16 first ascents. The second ascent of the Dawn Wall and Bon Voyage 5.14d trad. Following Ondra for the past decade and a half – the news articles, films, and social media posts – many climbers might feel that they already know Ondra’s story and his many achievements.

Adam the Climber, a new biography authored by Pietro Dal Pra, is an essential piece of reading for every climber. Captivating, informative, and full of climbing stoke, the book retells Ondra’s important climbing milestones in a way that only a close friend and confidant could, delving into other feats and moments, equally remarkable, that the public missed. In a way, some of Ondra’s greatest achievements in our minds are almost portrayed as footnotes in the book while Dal Pra tells us the bigger story.

Dal Pra is an Italian mountaineering, big wall, and multi-pitch climbing pro. When Ondra was a young teen,
