Pure Imagination | 8c+ Sport route at The Chocolate Factory

United States / Kentucky / Lee County

Bolted by Kenny Barker. Also known as Honeycomb Project. See also Wonka Vision.

Initially given 9a which would have made Adam Ondra's 2012 ascent the first onsight of the grade. However Adam felt the route was more 8c+ and Daniel Woods, who flashed the route on the same day, agreed.

Wow, really psyched :) Amazing route, totally on edge climbing up a beautiful line! 6th try, 3rd day on it- seems to be my redpoint trend! Video and Photo footage coming by Keith Ladzinski and Andy Mann. Thanks for this awesome route, Jonathan [Siegrest]!

Essentially in a day, except that Annie had had a single poor attempt on the route in 2021 where she lowered off before reaching the top.
