* pedantry alert *

Shouldn't this be in the Ondrawad thread?

 :-\

Wanted it to stand out on the home page. Not every day you get a hardest route in the world.

Can't wait to see the footage! Glad Sharma got his consolation prize yesterday and hope he manages to finish Dura.  :o

It's barely six months since the last one.

With some of the hardest ever flashes & onsights for recovery in between.

Two 9b+, Ondra should be able to onsight 9a, otherwise we can write him off as a redpoint-specialist...

According to the man himself it breaks down as:

9b/9b+ to a knee bar rest, then 8c+ to ok rest, then 8b to da chains!

Mind bending.

What a great guy.. Spot on..

"Last question: there's been much hype on the internet about both you and Chris trying the route...

Yeah, there has but in truth the two of us just went climbing together. It was a really positive experience, a really friendly atmosphere, we could both learn much from each other. You know, it's much more fun to try a hard route with someone else, isn't it!"

Awesome climbing!

Big question though, what will the grade be if you use a knee pad?

Awesome effort by sharma to scope the line and put the effort into bolting and cleaning the route!

What a great tick by ondra unbelievable achievement.
The pure beast energy seems to of spread through out the climbing world
Guigui ticked trip hop
Sharma got a new 9b (same day or day before?)
Mike adams put up a new stanage 8A
and Tomtom finally finished off the keel

Some one get ondra to create an account so I can wad the fuck out of him!

I love the fact that 8c+ and 8b after 9b/+ is 9b+. Shows how piss the 8th grade is when you're cranking this hard. It's hard to believe that someone has got that good. It seems like yesterday that 9a was still big news!

It's also the fact that the 20m 8b finish is only mentioned as a formality. You'd think that could be quite easy to fuck up / feel quite hard after climbing 9b/+ into 8c+ but not for Ondra! Mind blowing.

sounds like Ondra has two weeks to finish the "proper" Stoking The Fire  ;)

Sharma (on 8a) :
"Stoking the Fire has so much good climbing on it. [...] (its probably 9a on top of 9b).

For now I chose to go to the top via the upper section of Mercenaris del Pasat (just left of Stoking the Fire) which is maybe just 8a+ or so."

Interesting stuff, will be good to know if he get's on it.

Wonder what's next for Ondra, anyone know of any other projects of this calibre?

There's hardly a shortage of unclimbed, amazing rock in Spain (alone) and I'm pretty sure there will be numerous 9b+ and harder projects for him to go at. But I'd like to see him get to Buoux.

Is there a reason why the title is lacking a space between 'the' and 'bag'? :shrug:

If not - is it possible to change it?
It is making me twitch whenever I see it

Also - Ondra is strong, well done Ondra. :thumbsup:

The Brandenburg gate proj looks like the shittest project in the world. And I like the tor.

9 weeks working a project at the tor would most likely put him off  climbing for good. We don't want that to happen yet.

Not sure if its La Dura Dura but...

Quote from: Joe Kinder
my prediction is that Chris Sharma will send today… in about 4 hours or less.

Nothing like a bit of conjecture!

(His blogs worth a read too).

Come on Shazzer. You can do it.

Meanwhile, let's all consider which is our favourite sandal...
(Ondra the dancer or sharma the actor - who wins?)  ;)

Amazing to see the old pretender keeping up with the young pretender. Took him 12 years to go from 9a+ to 9b+, inspiring.
