Terranova is a boulder problem in the Moravsky Kras area of the Czech Republic established by Adam Ondra in 2011 as his first 8C+. The problem is around 17 moves long. Adam described it as

This boulder is foremost about it's difficulty. I would like to emphasize that it is not the most beautiful, exposed line in the world. It does not go on top of the stone but it is only a traverse at the beginning of the wall. I always thought that it won't be possible. [1]

First ascent.

For sure, for many boulderers it would not be motivating at all. But I had my dream-holds, that kept circling in my mind, I kept wondering if there was a way to traverse this part of the wall. And also I had a project close to my home, with good conditions even if it is 18 degrees outside (fresh breeze from inside the cave, additionally limestone is not aggressive for skin). [2]

Charles came pretty close using a very unconventional sequence.
