Adam Ondra #65: Bohemian Rhapsody 9a+ / The Hardest Route In Bohemia

Adam Ondra returns to the rain-soaked crag of Roviště for the final push on Bohemian Rhapsody, a fierce 9a+ testpiece billed as the hardest route in Bohemia. After coming heartbreakingly close in the previous attempt—slipping on the last hard move before the climbing eases—he’s back to settle unfinished business, with one more brutal 7C+ boulder problem still guarding the anchor. What makes this episode a must-watch is the mix of elite-level precision and raw, unpredictable reality: wet rock, shifting conditions, and the kind of pressure that turns every sequence into a high-stakes puzzle. You’ll get a front-row seat to Ondra’s process—problem-solving, pacing, and digging deep when the margin for error disappears—culminating in an epic, hard-earned first ascent that captures exactly why cutting-edge sport climbing is so addictive.

ČESKÉ TITULKY JSOU DOSTUPNÉ V NASTAVENÍ VIDEA Understandably, I just had to return back to Roviště and finish the big project. As you could see in last week's episode, I got quite close, falling off in the last hard move before the route gets easier, but there is still one more 7C+ boulderproblem guarding the anchor. To make things more dramatic, conditions were not ideal with continuous rain showers throughout the whole day. Check out the epic circumstances while finally making the first ascent of Bohemian Rhapsody, the hardest route in Bohemia.
