Good article by Ondra about his trip to Bus de Vela in Italy on PlanetMountain.com. 
http://www.planetmountain.com/english/News/shownews1.lasso?l=2&keyid=39433&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

About his onsighting abilities: "During this trip I tried two 8c's and did both of them, but I certainly can't state that I can do all 8c's on-sight. In general though, if a route is long and without extremely tricky sequences, then the chances are quite high that I'll succeed."

Onsighting 7 routes at a grade surely suggests you've got it in you to go a grade higher. Lets just hope he saves a few suitable 9as.

Only the most strict ethical policeman ( :wank:) would give anything less than a flash surely!?!?

He onsighted the 8c bit, and flashed the 8c+ bit, but had already been on the easy bit of the 8b... I don't really know exactly how the ethics on these sort of things go but surely they no-one would make him claim redpoint!?!? Would they?

Anyway, what a beast!!  :strongbench:

No way. You can't flash a route you've done sections of before

 :agree:

Ondra doesn't need any help by stretching the definitions, unlike some climbers. He's going to o/s 9a, it's just a matter of when not if.

It's pretty harsh and i wouldn't know what to call it (an amazing effort probably) but these things are important especially when it's a first in the history of humanity. Anyway like Pete says he won't fall off 9a soon

on a different note:
even Daniel Woods has taken to thinking "What Would Adam Ondra Do?"

i took the liberty to paraphrase the subtext ;)

"I had watched 'Wizard's Apprentice' the night before and saw Adam Ondra battle it out in heinous conditions," Woods says, "so this gave me inspiration to go into warrior mode and finish it off."

That picture's not of the route, it's of a different crag.

That's Orgon.

  :slap: :chair: Fuck's sake. I thought it looked different to other pictures of Ceuse I'd seen...

Clearly I need to travel more. Or just start reading photo captions.
