What do you do if your project is drier than ever before, but a small stream suddenly flows below it? Well if you’re Adam Ondra, the answer is obvious: build a small walkway, place your crash pads on top and go for the send. This is how the Brutal Rider came to life earlier this month and at 8C+ the Brutus + Ghost Rider linkup in the Sloup cave is now the hardest problem in the country. And - incidentally - one of the hardest in the world.
