Apparently gioia took him 11 days and he could only manage one proper go a day..

   Must be pretty hard then.

from 8a:
"Directely after having done Gioia, Adam Ondra travelled to Fontainebleau where he during the first two days have flashed La Merveille, 8A+ and Fata Morgana, 8A. Further more he made quick work of Sideway Daze, 8B and Satan i Helvete, 8B."

The 5th pic down you can see the holds hes about to match on   I think this must be the worst hold of all time he refers to in his interview.  It looks another level.  Respect to Core too!

Willackers fb'd he'd done la Merveille a couple of days ago, wonder if he bumped into him (waddage to Will - lankster)

Doesn't sound like Ondra was there for long!

[willackers]

He turns up in the forest, flashes Mervaille then downgrades it! The swine! I would have loved to have seen him flash it, it's such an amazing line!

His tick list from his first day in the forest is mental!

Also did Keops Assis (8b+) and L'Apparemment en départ bas (8b) yesterday it seems.  All a bit ridiculous, it'll be interesting to see what he does on the routing front next year now that he's not quite so weak!

[Nibile]

that's absolutely ridiculous. not only for the grade, but also for the style of the climbing, the subtlety and precision required, and all the rest. it's no line of crimps on a blank wall, it's THE FUCKING GECK!!!!!!!
 

[Doylo]

Things are getting silly now. Words don't really do it justice.Who says he doesn't know what 8c+ is. Nuts!

[moose]

I live in fear of Ondra getting properly mad and crimping something so damn hard he creates a singularity.   If those chaps at CERN were really serious about atom smashing they'd just fasten their targets to a nasty piece of polished limestone. 

The dirt under his fingernails: orphaned Higg's bosons. 

Those neutrinos that went faster than light: they were running away from Ondra.

Crikey.

Ondra - the Chuck Norris of the climbing world.

[ianv]

Puts Gioia totally into perspective as well. 11 days for Ondra to repeat it, then he goes up to Font walks up all sorts of hard stuff.

Must be the first repeat where Ondra was unsure of the outcome, awesome effort from Gore

[AB]

When Ondra does a pull up it's the worlds which goes down...  couldn't resist!

[Jaspersharpe]

Mind blowing.

awesome effort from Gore

the article is shocking.
we are witnessing something historical with Ondra.
