What does it take to climb the world’s first 9c (5.15d)? Find out in Silence, a movie by Bernardo Giménez. It shows what preceded the afternoon of September 3, 2017 when Adam Ondra made a little piece of climbing history by climbing his hardest project ever in the spectacular Hanshelleren Cave in Norway. Ondra gave the route, later named Silence, the unprecedented grade of 9c, making it the hardest route in the world.
