Climbing career
In 2016 Jernej completed the {{Climbing grade|9a+}} graded deep-water soloing route Es Pontàs in Mallorca. The route was originally established by Chris Sharma in 2006. Jernej was only the second climber to repeat it. It took him 16 days and 39 attempts to finish the route.{{cite web| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190710195524/https://www.klettern.de/szene/jernej-kruder-wiederholt-sharmas-es-pontas/ | url=https://www.klettern.de/szene/jernej-kruder-wiederholt-sharmas-es-pontas/ | title=Jernej Kruder wiederholt Sharmas 'Es Pontas' | archive-date=Jul 10, 2019 | publisher=klettern.de}} Jernej initially graded the route {{Climbing grade|9b|link=no}}.
