Adam Ondra gives an insight into his mental game while flashing one of the hardest trad climbs in the UK: Lexicon. The route is rated E11, which signifies a route of extreme difficulty and danger, often involving perilous moves and considerable exposure.
"I was always quite hesitant to go and try some of the harder trad routes in the UK, because they often look objectively very dangerous. Gear placements are often very precarious, and I still feel pretty much like a beginner when it comes to placing and trusting the gear.
When my friend Neil Gresham made the first ascent of Lexicon in 2021, I knew it was a route that looked too good to miss. It is in a beautiful landscape of the Lake District, high in the mountains, blending trad climbing skills, cool head, and sport climbing physique in a perfect way."

The hardest sport climb; the hardest sport onsite; the hardest sport flash.
Climbed the hardest bouldering grade; Climbed the hardest big wall;
Climbed the hardest trad climb; did the hardest trad flash;
and... boulder and lead world cup winner.
Hard to debate at this point he is a generational athlete.
All that seems left is to try some strict hard crack climbs.
