Amazing. Seeing Pringle (who is very much not shit) struggling on the redpoint puts it into perspective too.

From La Sportiva: Adam Ondra's thoughts on the US, his beast powers in 'the Red', and what's next - looks like Dura Dura...

Setting off for a 9a on sight, after two years of waiting, he just knew he would not fall off. With every crimp his confidence grew. What a monster.
The battle is won before fighting it.

I thought it was nice to see that he's not above taking the piss out of himself (although it could have been shorter).

If I want to watch someone twatting about on a building I'll watch Liam Copley's films. Or rather I wont.

+1. A mildly amusing joke that could have been funny if 30 seconds long.

Quote from: http://www.8a.nu
Today, Adam Ondra fell on the last move on the last crux half way up on the 50 m La Dura Dura. "He screamed as usual but you could here he was pleased, excited and very confident. Today was kind of shitty conditions. He dominated Oliana today and for sure he will send it this weekend with better conditions. It was so cool...", says a very impressed fan.

But he needs to do it fast as Chris Sharma who bolted it has also made nice progress passing the first part... "The bottom is like a series of really specific moves and really fucked up climbing on bullshit holds....", continues the fan. Ondra has said that possibly it is even harder than The Change, 9b+ and this is his fifth trip only dedicated to it.

Don't care for the competition aspect that 8a.nu typically leans towards.

Just be great to see either of them do it.  :bow:

The way things are presented on 8a.nu sometimes goes against the grain, but come on, although I'm sure they are enjoying trying the route together, competition has got to be there, and I'll bet they are each trying just that little bit harder...
