This level of performance is quite shocking and a clear step up.8c+ onsight is obviously not his limit judging by these performances.incredible.the guy who stated on the other channel that this is not a step up is wrong.

Ondra makes that look about 6c+, nevermind 8c+. ~~I hope~~ I guess all the really hard stuff was low down, before the clip started...

This is fucking insane, another level is right.

Interesting line from the article linked above:
"Ondra himself knows far better than anyone else where his chances lie and it is worth noting that at Extauri the other day he opted to leave Begi puntuan for another trip. And that he has consistently resisted temptation and steered clear of the iconic Realization at Ceuse... "

Jaspersharpe · March 11, 2011, 12:01:47 pm

If he's never seen any of the Realisation videos then that really is impressive forward planning!

Doylo · March 11, 2011, 12:15:44 pm

I imagine he'd be happy with the flash on a 9a+ jasp!

Jaspersharpe · March 11, 2011, 12:47:03 pm

Punter. Aim high!

Ondra has added an extension to an exisiting Dani Andrada 8c+ (Obrint pas extension) to give a proposed 9a+ (Obrint el sistema) from Kairn.

Took him 5 go's

Jaspersharpe · March 14, 2011, 01:11:12 pm

Does that article actually call him "Harry Potter"?

According to Desnivel (Google translate) it was an open project:

Czech climber continues its tour of our country and chains 'Obrint the system' 9a +, an open project by Dani Andrada five years ago, and that is the continuation of 'Obrint pas extension' 8c +.

Also:

Dani Andrada's opinion on Adam Ondra, "It's inhumane. Has revolutionized climbing. To the extent that when he makes a 9a + paste the fifth gives you the feeling that it has cost to how strong he is! "

We should probably just change the thread title to 'Ondrawad' and set an RSS the rate he churns out newsworthy ascents/repeats!

Good idea - I will make it sticky too

We are not worthy

Baldy · March 20, 2011, 10:57:45 pm

Got to say, that is my favourite tantrum so far

I dont blame him though, he looked so solid for the finish!

Ethan · March 21, 2011, 10:57:37 am

And another 8c+ onsight! Mind Control in Oliana.

There is a brilliant Spanish climbing DVD (name escapes me - but its always on loop in the Siurana bar on wet days!) which has footage of Ondra literally Running up La Rambla, while Andrada, Ojeda and Marin look on in amazement!

Edu Marin almost seems ready to pack in climbing.......Andrada however sees it as a personal motivation to try harder and tick his project! Although his subsequent comments about Ondra having the physique of a Freak are amusing....

Fanatic search. http://www.triaylaurent.com/worklessclimbmore-dvd-video-escalade-guides-espagne.html
The Fanatic Search2 is also well worth watching. I bought it as an HD-download and really liked the footage from Verdon (Tom et Je Ris and that long thing Durif onsighted in a 100 m pitch....)

He makes some very odd noises.

Robsons · March 23, 2011, 08:55:02 am

Ondrawad - perfect!
All these 8c+ onsights and the videos to follow means I will never be able to onsight them "now"! g'uh!

Ethan · March 28, 2011, 07:30:15 am

It appears that he may have grabbed the FA of Sharma's Shaxi Raxi, 9b! Followed by another 8c+ onsight, all in the same day.

Not sure what to say but this seems to sum it up.....

Well, it's circa 40m high with the crux after the second bolt, a difficult section which would be about Fb8B+ boulder. This is then followed by circa 9a/9a+ climbing, with some good rests.

Fucking hell.
