I wonder why I bother. I think thats me, over and out.

I wonder why I bother.

  Yeah that's what I thought when I read it. You were 

You can't educate pork.

Thought this was amusing though...

> Given that Adam Ondra spends most the time with his shirt off, how come he's so pasty?

A) he climbs everything so quickly that the amount of time he spends topless is minimal.
B) All the routes he climbs are so overhanging the sun doesn't hit them.
C) He's a ghost... he doesn't actually climb the routes, he flies up them screaming as he goes.

Really?

Just completely stunning...

[lukeyboy]

All hail the mighty ondrawad 

[Jaspersharpe]

Just amazing.

[SA Chris]

Awesome.

Is this Barnabe bloke a bit of a Richard Simpson type then?

[Jaspersharpe]

If you mean an extremely talented climber, many of whose ascents are shrouded in controversy.......... then yes.

[SA Chris]

That's what I meant.

If I had meant bonkers fantasist who could never get close to doing it I would have said Si O'Connor type.

The Ondrawad rules!   

[Serpico]

It's not all about the climbing. I think he's just on a mission to make me feel inadequate, expect a super-model girlfriend next.

[andy_e]

He's only done that to get his weight down even further.

[Rocksteady]

If I act as donee of his bone marrow, will I acquire some of his powers?
 

[Palomides]

No route is safe. That is seriously impressive.

I can't bring myself to go and see the news reports over at 8a.nu. I imagine there's a certain amount of gushing going on.

[JohnM]

Is this not the route that had bolt on holds on one section?  Does anyone know if Ondra used these?

[Doylo]

I bet he made it look piss.Mawson told me something that put that mind con :thumbsdown:trol onsight footage into perspective.while he was working Humildes pas case the 8b+ that shares the same start Dave graham,one of the best climbers of the last 10 years was working mind control and having a really hard time.he was struggling to get between the bolts.the gulf is gettng massive! Id like to see ondra do akira.it might be a bit shit looking but its one of the last unknowns.

No that was Orujo 9a+ at Archidona (?).

Ukc article now updated with an interview from Ondra, normal 9b apparently, maybe soft....
