Adam Ondra
Adam Ondra became the first person to climb a route graded 9c, the sport's hardest confirmed difficulty rating, completing "Silence" in a Norwegian cave in 2017 after years of dedicated attempts, a technical achievement widely regarded as the most difficult single rock climb ever completed. His combination of exceptional physical strength, flexibility, and mental endurance has made Ondra the dominant competitive sport climber of his generation, and he's set numerous first ascents of the world's hardest rated routes across multiple countries throughout his career. Ondra's willingness to spend years working a single extremely difficult route, sometimes attempting the same climb dozens or hundreds of times before succeeding, reflected a level of dedicated persistence uncommon even among elite climbers pursuing the sport's outer technical limits. His combination of setting the sport's hardest confirmed grade and his sustained dominance across both competition and outdoor climbing has made Ondra the climber most widely regarded as the greatest sport climber currently competing, and arguably in the discipline's history.
VS
Janja Garnbret
Janja Garnbret won Olympic gold in sport climbing's combined event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the discipline's debut as a full Olympic sport, becoming the first-ever Olympic champion in climbing and establishing herself as the dominant competitive climber of her generation. Her sustained dominance across World Cup competitions throughout the 2010s and 2020s, winning an unusually high proportion of the events she entered across multiple different climbing disciplines, reflected genuinely all-around excellence uncommon even among elite competitive climbers. Garnbret successfully defended her Olympic title at the 2024 Paris Olympics, winning gold in the boulder and lead combined event again and becoming the first climber to win consecutive Olympic titles in the sport's still-young Olympic history. Her combination of being climbing's first-ever Olympic champion and her sustained back-to-back Olympic dominance has made Garnbret the individual most widely regarded as the greatest competitive sport climber in the discipline's Olympic era.
