timestamp is wrong

Not that kind of answer 

Something like "Yeah, he's done it and is now getting drunk" is what i'm looking for.

[Adam Lincoln]

He fell at last crux.

[tomtom]

He fell at last crux.

And is now getting drunk

There was a bit of live commentary on facebook.... 21st century reporting

[Lopez]

Punter...

[Percy B]

Gabri Moroni has just commented, "Ondra is a punter" (on Crackbook). Do I take this to mean that Potter has dropped it?

See Adam's post. No live stream, but live FB updates. He got through the 8c+ bit, fell on the top crux 4/5 moves from the end - guess that means one of the 2 crux moves

[Baldy]

While he may have missed the 9a+ flash,

Lets not completely miss the fact that he still flashed an 8c+ route to get there, and then continued up the wall a significant distance...

That's got to be at least 9a no?

(still...pathetic effort though)

[ali k]

Adam you have broken my heart. Why didn't you just wait another year? Why?   

[petejh]

Watched this last night, weirdest scene ever at a crag with what seemed like almost every climber at ceuse watching from below Biographie sector waiting for the event to happen. Must have been massive pressure. Think everyone was just praying he didn't blow the start moves (which looked nails). Great to see, the guy's a legend.

[Doylo]

The original used to be regarded as hard 8c+ so not a bad effort!

[hobblingfool]

There is an interview and some scrappy footage of his attempt here http://www.ukclimbing.com/news/item.php?id=67185

Always seems like a nice honest lad, would love to watch him climb in person one day.

[slackline]

How distracting!  Shut up and letting him get on with climbing.

From the same account Jungle Boogie

[Sasquatch]

See Adam's post. No live stream, but live FB updates.

I know he's a climbing god, but to update his FB midroute.   

[Doylo]

Fuck me i couldn't climb the stairs with all that pullava!

[boulderingbacon]

whos this ali guy he looks pretty good at climbing

[slackline]

whos this ali guy he looks pretty good at climbing

Dunno, but I think he spells it "Allez!"

[abarro81]

Presumably world cup comp climbers are used to crowds and noise from the comps and thus rather better adjusted to it that most of us.

[Baldy]

Sounds to me like you are pandering to the crowd   

If I were to try and defend them, I would ask whether a horde of completely silent onlookers would be worse.
But I'm not going to try to.

Those people are idiots. How is he meant to flash a 9a+, with some eejit on the floor pulling him out of the zone every 2 seconds with their attempt to become part of the experience.
Pah.

I found the part where he rested, then made a false start quite funny though. So I guess the crowd did have some use.

[SA Chris]

So did he redpoint it?

[andy popp]

No. Interview on the other channel says two more failures (I think) and then he had to leave.

[SA Chris]

So maybe the flash was further off than originally thought. God effort anyway.

[jern]

God effort anyway.

Devine!

[Wood FT]

So maybe the flash was further off than originally thought. God effort anyway.

bear in mind the effort he will have put in for the flash will have left him spannered for the rest of the day, then again he does do multiple hard shit in a day quite regularly
