Adam Ondra #36: Bouldering in a Cave / Ghost Rider 8C

Return to the Moravian Karst with Adam Ondra as he heads deep into a limestone cave for a bouldering session that’s equal parts homecoming and high stakes. In this short episode, Ondra revisits the area where he grew up climbing and takes on Ghost Rider (8C), aiming for the coveted second ascent of a modern testpiece first established by Martin Stráník. What makes this one worth your time is the rare mix of nostalgia and cutting-edge difficulty: a world-class climber on terrain that still pushes him to the limit. Expect tight, cinematic cave atmosphere, precise movement on steep limestone, and a clear window into how elite bouldering comes together—problem solving, pacing, and commitment when the holds are small and the margin for error is even smaller.

Moravian Karst is an area where I started climbing and it still remains very special for me. It is definitely a climbing area where I spent the most of the time, ever! Great thing is that it still offers serious challenge for me, especially in bouldering. The next episode shows me making the second ascent of Ghost Rider 8C after Martin Stráník opened it this summer.
