Zschiesche's Roof Boulder problem 7C 1
Zvěřinec Sport route 9b+ 1

At the time of his ascent, Adam described it as the second hardest route he had ever done (behind Silence). The route starts with a 25 move power endurance section, which is 9a+ by itself, into the crux of an existing 8b+ route. From there, a good undercling, a splits position, and a knee bar offer good resting opportunities before the crux boulder problem. The 8B+ boulder problem revolves around a crux shoulder move (8A+ one move) and a triple bump sequence after an intro 8A section. After the last hard move, a potentially heartbreaking 7A section followed by easy exit climbing takes it to the chains.
