I think it's just down the valley from St Leger - called Mollans maybe?

where is this forearm heelhook? at 32 sec? Looks like he briefly puts his foot on his arm while repositioning?

I watched him trying this in the summer.  The hardest thing about it seemed to be the posing for photographs with hundreds of schoolchildren after each burn on it.  Looks outrageous though.  What the video doesn't show is the roughly 30 metres of 50 degree climbing to get there

From Pavel Blažek on instagram today: "Unfortunatelly there is no more time"

They had a couple of days rest then went back on the Dawn Wall for photos and retrieving the fixed ropes and portaledges.

I imagine he'll be back.

Ondra has made the first ascent of Mamichula, hard 9b, which is a link up of Papichulo, 9a+, and Pachamama, hard 9a+.

I wonder how long he is in Oliana for? Do I remember Sharma mentioning in one of the Dura Dura videos that there is a harder project right next to it? Wonder if he will try that..

Yeah, his 'Le Blond' project. Featured in this slightly weird video with his new bestie Jason Momoa

Watched Ondra make the FA of the extension to Happy Hour at oliana today. Down as a 9a+? in the guide. There was some train noises and shouting so I assume it wasnt a total path.

3 days on and he does 9b FA, 9a/+ FA, 8c FA, onsights two 8c's and an 8b+.

Nothing out of the ordinary really for Ondra, but it just never ends! Unbelievable!

Doubt it.  Sharma's project innit. And he sounds heavily invested so unlikely to be giving it away. If the narrative from the dura dura movies is to be believed (no reason not to), sharma had pretty much abandoned the route and then only got inspired to get back on it after (presumably) 'letting' ondra give it a spin.

http://enormocast.com/episode-31-hayden-kennedy-andrew-bisharat-pbr-frothy-climbing-spray/  About 14mins in they talk about that, sounds like Sharma was pretty cool with it all so he might be fine with Ondra getting stuff done ahead of him.  Depends if he's a little more keen on getting the FA (if he thinks he can/doesn't get burned out) for that though I guess.
