In 2002, he did it again.
In 2003, he earned the title of World Champion in Bouldering.
He ascended several very hard boulders in Italy near Bobbio Pellice, Varazze and Triora. In 2008, he climbed Gioia, an boulder that was considered, for 8 years, the most difficult boulder ever climbed in history. Adam Ondra repeated the ascent and confirmed the grade three years later.
