Austrian climber Jakob Schubert has validated the existence of the 9c climbing grade after completing a route previously established by Adam Ondra.
- Schubert spent 30 days and 200 hours studying the route to confirm the difficulty level.
- The route, named Silence, is located in Flatanger, Norway.
- Adam Ondra first proposed the 9c grade in 2017 but noted that future climbers would need to verify the assessment.
- Climbing grades in elite sports rely on consensus among the few athletes capable of performing at that level.
This verification marks a significant milestone in sport climbing, solidifying the highest difficulty level currently achieved by humans. #climbing #JakobSchubert #AdamOndra #sportclimbing
