Nice interview. Sounds like we can look forward to lots more 9b's and above.

Interesting about Planta Shiva. It's about 15 mins from my house and there is much more scope for development in that sort of grade from what i can see. There are similar lines on the same wall that also appear to have no proper holds on them just like Planta Shiva.

When you get close up to these routes and have a good look i can't even begin to imagine how they get up them.

I'm looking forward to him coming back soon as he said he thought there was more new routing potential here than in Catalunia. After he's on-sighted 9a of course.

Ondra flashes Southern Smoke Direct (9a+/5.15a) with beta from Daniel Woods and John Cardwell.

Ondra not surprisingly is unsure if he's done a 9a+ flash and suggests it could be 9a. Woods and Cardwell have worked on the route for days and say it is "at least 9a".

If not 9a+ would this be the first 9a flash? Glad to hear he's pulled his finger out, I was getting impatient waiting for news of extreme beastlyness.  :popcorn:

The degree of inevitability almost makes it more impressive, but still ...  :o

"Apparently, he walked up to it and just went into beast mode".

That's a useful trick.

Just crazy. And it's just beginning.

Awesome!  :bow:

Quote from: DPM website
Daniel Woods and Jon Cardwell have both been working the route

Ondra is fucking incredible.

If he's done the project left of Take That Katie Brown (and given it 14b/c!) then he's probably going to get a lot more of the open projects out there done. Fantastic.

Two worlds colliding there.

Epic.

This + Ashima news is crazy. Wish I was in the Red River Gorge (a) climbing and (b) watching all this stuff go down. Got to be better than work!

Next generation of talent.
