2023年6月6日 · A 9c in rock climbing represents the highest difficulty rating in the sport, involving both exceptional technical skills and extreme physical demands. The 9c grade corresponds to the American rating of 5.15d.

The evolution of rock climbing grades: from 6a to 9c. Let’s now see how climbing has evolved over time. The following is the result of careful research conducted by two well-known names in the climbing community: Maurizio Oviglia and Claude Remy.

As of October 2024, the hardest single-pitch redpoint was at the grade of 9c (5.15d) for men and 9b (5.15b) for women. The hardest onsight was at the grade of 9a (5.14d) for men and 8c (5.14b) for women. The hardest boulder solved was at the boulder grade of V17 (9A) for men and V15/V16 (8C/8C+) for women.

theCrag automatically converts grades between different grade systems according to the tables below. theCrag does so by using an open ended and fine-grained internal grade conversion system with more than 500 grade levels allowing to reflect the subtleties of most known grade systems and their conversion from and into each other.

When Czech climber Adam Ondra made the first free ascent on 3 September 2017, it became the first rock climb in the world to have a proposed climbing grade of 9c (5.15d), and it is an important route in rock climbing history. To complete the route, Ondra undertook specialist physical and mental training to overcome its severely overhanging terrain.

2022年12月14日 · Adam Ondra climbed the world’s first 9c / 5.15d on September 3rd, 2017, becoming at the time the hardest climbing route in the world. It’s a 45-meter-long route that starts immediately overhung and turns into a completely upside-down “cave” route.

2025年2月2日 · Developed in 2020 by Norwegian climbers, Stian Christopherson and Martin Mobraten, the 9c strength test is a fairly straightforward battery test that measures strength in 4 different areas. It aims to determine how strong you are and how hard you should be climbing.

This climbing test should reveal how hard you should be able to climb (assuming perfect technique!). Are you ready to climb 9c? Log your points / grade in the comment!

2023年8月16日 · A 9c route in climbing represents an extremely high level of difficulty and is currently considered one of the most challenging grades in the sport. The grading system for climbing routes considers various factors that contribute to the overall difficulty of the climb.

2023年7月25日 · The DNA climb is the second 9c route in the world after Adam Ondra’s already world-famous climb, Silence. In terms of grading, there is a chance of downgrading on the second climb. According to Seb, it has been more difficult and “a …
