Adam Ondra ({{IPA|cs|ˈadam ˈondra}}; 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.{{cite web|url=https://rockandice.com/features/perfect-play-what-it-took-to-climb-la-dura-dura-5-15c-the-worlds-hardest-route|title=Perfect Play: What It Took to Climb La Dura Dura (5.15c) – The World's Hardest Route|website=rockandice.com|last=Bisharat|first=Andrew|date=27 November 2013|access-date=14 March 2020}} 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 {{Climbing grade|9a}} 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". By end 2018, Ondra had climbed 1,550 sport routes between grades {{Climbing grade|8a}} and {{Climbing grade|9c}}, of which one was a {{Climbing grade|9c}}, three were {{Climbing grade|9b+}}, and three were onsights of {{Climbing grade|9a}}.
Ondra is the first climber to redpoint a route with a proposed grade of {{Climbing grade|9c}} (Silence, 2017), the first climber to redpoint a {{Climbing grade|9b+}} route (Change, 2012), the first-ever to flash a {{Climbing grade|9a+}} route (Supercrackinette, 2018), and the second ever to onsight a {{Climbing grade|9a}} route (Cabane au Canada, 2013).
Although primarily known for sport climbing, Ondra has repeated or established difficult big wall climbs,{{cite web|url=https://www.climbing.com/news/adam-ondra-completes-dawn-wall/|title=Adam Ondra Completes Dawn Wall|website=climbing.com|last=Corrigan|first=Kevin|date=22 November 2016|access-date=25 August 2024}} traditional climbs,{{cite web|url=https://www.climbing.com/news/adam-ondra-repeats-bon-voyage/|title=Adam Ondra Repeats ‘Bon Voyage’, Confirms World’s Hardest Trad Grade|website=climbing.com|last=Clarke|first=Owen|date=21 February 2024|access-date=25 August 2024}} and boulder problems.{{cite web|url=https://www.ukclimbing.com/news/2013/10/ondra_climbs_worlds_hardest_boulder_problems-68399|title=Ondra climbs World's Hardest Boulder Problems|website=ukclimbing.com|last=Pohl|first=Björn|date=8 October 2013|access-date=25 August 2024}} Because of his achievements, Ondra is often referred to as the world's strongest climber.{{cite web|url=https://www.climbing.com/people/adam-ondra-sport-climbing-superstar/|title=Adam Ondra, Sport Climbing Superstar|website=climbing.com|last=Clarke|first=Owen|date=3 May 2022|access-date=25 August 2024}}

=Early years=
File:Adam Ondra Imst 2009.JPG]]
Ondra started climbing at the age of six; his parents are climbers, and they shared their passion with him. In 1999, at age six, in Rovinj, Croatia, Ondra climbed a {{Climbing grade|6a}} route with bolts every half meter. He quickly rose to fame, appearing in climbing magazines as his accomplishments became both more impressive and frequent:
- In 2001, (at age eight), he onsighted {{Climbing grade|7b+}} routes.
- In 2002, (at age nine), he onsighted {{Climbing grade|7c+}} and redpointed {{Climbing grade|8a}}.
- In 2003, (at age ten), he onsighted {{Climbing grade|8a}}.
- In 2004, (at age eleven), he onsighted {{Climbing grade|8a+}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.czechclimbing.com/clanky.php?xtem=&key=3080|title=Adam Ondra - 11 year kid 8a+ onsight|work=Czech Climbing|date=15 May 2004|access-date=7 October 2012}} and redpointed {{Climbing grade|8c}}.

In 2007 and 2008, he won the IFSC World Youth Championship, category Youth B. In 2009, at age sixteen, Ondra competed for the first time in the Lead Climbing World Cup, finishing ahead of Spanish Patxi Usobiaga and Japanese Sachi Amma.{{Cite web|url=http://www.planetmountain.com/english/News/shownews1.lasso?l=2&keyid=37090|title=Climbing World Cup Lead 2009 won by Johanna Ernst and Adam Ondra|work=PlanetMountain.com|date=16 November 2009|access-date=7 October 2012}} In 2010, he won the Bouldering World Cup, beating Austrian climber Kilian Fischhuber and Tsukuru Hori from Japan, becoming the first athlete in history to win the World Cup in both disciplines (lead and bouldering).{{Cite web|url=http://www.climbing.com/news/hotflashes/ondra_noguchi_win_2010_bouldering_world_cup/ |title=Ondra, Noguchi Win 2010 Bouldering World Cup |work=Climbing |first=Genna |last=Ord |date=2 August 2010 |access-date=7 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120327042441/http://www.climbing.com/news/hotflashes/ondra_noguchi_win_2010_bouldering_world_cup/ |archive-date=27 March 2012 }}
Ondra failed to qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics at the 2019 IFSC Climbing World Championships, as he was disqualified for accidentally toeing a bolt during the lead climbing portion of the combined event.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lacrux.com/en/klettern/adam-ondra-about-his-disqualification-at-the-klm-wm-in-japan/|title=Adam Ondra about his disqualification at the World Championships in Japan |date=2019-08-20|website=LACRUX climbing magazine|access-date=2019-10-14}} However, at the Olympic qualifying event in Toulouse later that year, he managed to secure a place in the Olympic Games,{{Cite web|url=https://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/component/ifsc/?view=event&WetId=8322|title=Olympic qualifying event - event page|date=2019-12-01|website=IFSC|access-date=2019-12-02}} despite falling ill after reaching the finals of the event.
In April 2021 Ondra won gold in the bouldering discipline at the IFSC World Cup in Meiringen, Switzerland.

During a March 2011 trip to Spain, Ondra became the second-ever person to onsight a {{Climbing grade|8c+}} route, after Patxi Usobiaga.{{Cite web|url=http://www.climbing.com/news/hotflashes/a_new_level_ondra_onsights_five_514cs/ |title=A New Level: Ondra Onsights Five 5.14c's |work=Climbing |first=Amanda |last=Fox |date=21 March 2011 |access-date=7 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120723101307/http://www.climbing.com/news/hotflashes/a_new_level_ondra_onsights_five_514cs/ |archive-date=23 July 2012 }} On October 4, 2012, Ondra redpointed Change in the Hanshelleren Cave, Flatanger Municipality, Norway, the world's first-ever route to receive a grade of {{Climbing grade|9b+}}.{{Cite web|url=http://www.climbing.com/news/ondra-5-15c-norway/|title=Adam Ondra Climbs 5.15c in Norway|work=Climbing|first=Dougald|last=MacDonald|date=4 October 2012|access-date=7 October 2012}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.rockandice.com/news/2278-adam-ondra-does-fa-of-worlds-hardest-route |title=Adam Ondra Does FA of World's Hardest Route |work=Rock and Ice |date=4 October 2012 |access-date=7 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121006232624/http://www.rockandice.com/news/2278-adam-ondra-does-fa-of-worlds-hardest-route |archive-date=6 October 2012 }}
On February 7, 2013, Ondra ascended La Dura Dura in Oliana, Catalonia, Spain, his second {{Climbing grade|9b+}} after Change. He worked on this project with American climber Chris Sharma, and the first ascent took Ondra nine weeks.{{Cite web|url=http://www.climbing.com/news/ondra-puts-down-la-dura-dura-5-15c/|title=Ondra Puts Down La Dura Dura (5.15c)|work=Climbing|access-date=7 February 2013}} On February 9, 2013, two days after La Dura Dura, Ondra succeeded in the second ascent of the {{Climbing grade|9b}} route, Fight or flight, first climbed by Sharma in 2011.{{Cite web|url=http://www.climbing.com/news/ondra-adds-5-15b-to-spanish-route-tally/|title=Ondra Adds 5.15b To Spanish Route Tally|work=Climbing|date=9 February 2013|access-date=10 February 2013}} On July 9, 2013, Ondra realized the second-ever onsight of a {{Climbing grade|9a}} route in history, after Alexander Megos, with the ascent of Cabane au Canada in Rawyl, Switzerland.{{Cite web|url=http://www.ukclimbing.com/news/item.php?id=68197|title=La cabane au Canada, 9a, onsight by Ondra|publisher=ukclimbing.com|first=Björn|last=Pohl|date=9 July 2013|access-date=10 July 2013}}
On November 21, 2016, Ondra completed the second free ascent of the 1,000-metre granite route, The Dawn Wall, a 32-pitch grade {{Climbing grade|5.14d}} big wall climbing route at El Capitan in the Yosemite Valley. The route was widely regarded as the hardest big wall climbing route in the world. Ondra led every pitch and completed the project in 8 days (the first ascenders, Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson alternated leads, and spent 19 days on the wall).{{Cite web|url=http://www.climbing.com/news/adam-ondra-completes-dawn-wall/|title=Adam Ondra Completes Dawn Wall|work=Climbing|date=22 November 2016|access-date=22 November 2016}}
On April 23, 2017, Ondra set a new highpoint for Black Diamond's The Project indoor sport route in Stockholm, Sweden, which is believed to be the hardest in the world.{{cite magazine | magazine=Gymclimber | url=https://www.gymclimber.com/the-hardest-indoor-route/ | first=Delaney | last=Miller | date=20 August 2020 | access-date=30 January 2022 | title=The Hardest (Indoor) Route}}
On September 3, 2017, after about 4 years of dedicated work and training, Ondra climbed Silence, in the Hanshelleren Cave in Flatanger Municipality, Norway. Silence was the world's first-ever route to have a proposed grade of {{Climbing grade|9c}}. On February 10, 2018, Ondra completed the world's first-ever flash of a confirmed {{climbing grade|9a+}} route with his ascent of Super Crackinette in Saint-Léger du Ventoux, France.{{Cite web|url=https://www.planetmountain.com/en/news/interviews/adam-ondra-interview-after-worlds-first-9a-plus-flash-at-st-leger-in-france.html|title=Super Crackinette, 9a+, flash by Ondra|publisher=planetmountain.com|date=12 February 2018|access-date=19 July 2018}}
