How come this thread has been stickified? Didn’t realise Ondra was planning to come back and stay at Malham indefinitely. And there is already a stickified Ondra thread….

slackline · May 20, 2011, 11:09:22 am

Indeed, why not just merge the two threads?

slackline · May 20, 2011, 11:24:26 am

Seems to have worked ok, all* posts from the previous thread are in here in chronological order.

* Well, when I say all, I mean I can see posts from both threads in here.

It is. Interesting he rated Bat Route as 'soft' as most brits who get on it seem to think it isn't. Pinch of salt with that one maybe

Maybe not. Most of us aren't endurance beasts, Steve had a duff sequence and Mawson crushed it. Maybe it is soft. I'm telling myself it is anyway, in the hope that it will actually make it easier.

The Sunday at Malham was really an amazing scene; watching Steve and Adam working desperate projects, Timmy and Dave taking massive peelers off the groove. Very inspiring.

I guess so, Unjustified's endurance though isn't it and everyone's loving that. BR has some decent rests doesn't it, so Ondra would have been fully fresh on the sections (he probably didn't need to rest though!)

Stu Littlefair · May 20, 2011, 12:31:54 pm

Unjustified is power endurance really, a sprint with no good rests. It's only ~30 moves after the chain of something stupid.

Bat Route is much more of a stam-fest, with a couple of really, really good rests. It's all about how well you recover really, which is not my strong point, at least.

I reckon Bat Route is probably harder than Unjustified (for me it certainly is), but it may well be quite a soft 8c.

Caff has been on BR recently and said it was one of the hardest routes he's tried.

cofe · May 20, 2011, 01:34:00 pm

not seen this posted, or am i being dense? he falls off, but sounds like he's trying hard. thank god.

Doylo · May 20, 2011, 01:44:07 pm

cofe · May 20, 2011, 01:49:33 pm

Awesome, so not only is it soft (and I will therefore crush it), but it offers the possibility of burning off Caff.

You can't crush my psyche

its possible if your weaknesses are known
but if you have non then i agree

Another 8c+ for Ondra, this time of the Italian route The Miser

SA Chris · July 14, 2011, 03:38:09 pm

Mere 8c+, like reporting I climbed some stairs

slackline · July 14, 2011, 04:00:09 pm

I managed to omit the fact that the report (this ones in English rather than translated from Italian) states it was on-sight.

SA Chris · July 14, 2011, 04:05:31 pm

Ok, me climbing a lot of stairs!

Amazing.

You climbing a lot of stairs without resting or having previous knowledge of where those stairs go or which foot to place on each step.

Love how this was just a stop off between Chamonix and Arco...cranker!

Doylo · July 15, 2011, 11:08:20 am

Delete the thread,cease the praise, he just came 17th in the world cup. What a punt

slackline · July 15, 2011, 11:21:59 am

I don't think he's that bothered with competitions....

Quote from: Ondrawad

There are also rumors you won’t compete in the World Cup this year. True? Well, my main target is the World Championship in summer. I might compete on some World Cup stages, but I won’t compete in the whole circuit, neither in lead nor in bouldering.

Why? I’m just motivated for rock climbing! After the last year full of competitions, I feel like I had enough and deserve some time without them.

Doylo · July 15, 2011, 11:23:30 am

Too much rock climbing, makes you weak. fact

jwi · July 15, 2011, 11:40:20 am

The standard at the world cup is just mind blowing. Another fact.
