Ondra in battle mode. Love it

SA Chris · February 02, 2013, 03:00:57 pm

Battle mode? Is he Prince Adam with a Sword of Power then?

standard · February 07, 2013, 04:41:33 pm

according to Joe Kinder on twitter, he's sent la dura dura.

Fiend · February 07, 2013, 04:54:31 pm

Harder 9b+ than the other 9b+, duh.

So Sharma still came away with a consolation prize. Winners all round.

Krank · February 07, 2013, 07:30:41 pm

He's given it 9b+ but says its harder than Change.

Found these quotes from the interview with Ondra interesting:
'... after two weeks of working the same route, it is very difficult to make further progress. That was quite surprising to me. The 3rd and 4th weeks on La Dura Dura were completely pointless, I was climbing one level below and no matter how efficiently I climbed, I couldn’t and didn’t progress.'

'If you don’t feel close after two or three weeks, better to give up for a while, train specifically for it and get back on it. Body will forget how to move in the route, but in a couple of days it is back.
Climbing a certain grade within 10 days of work doesn’t mean that you would climb another level if you worked for a year.'

Per spray.nu, Ondra made the 2nd ascent of Sharma's 9b route Fight Or Flight today.

Anyone know if thats in a day?

r-man · February 10, 2013, 02:55:21 pm

Quality ok if you select HD

Lots of rests - skip to 1.00 and 4.00 for the meat of the climbing.

tomtom · February 10, 2013, 03:52:34 pm

Fantastic display of controlled aggression for the leap at 4:25 or so...

Especially as he had skipped the clip before it. He would have taken a mighty pisser if he hadn't made the move.

Luke Owens · February 10, 2013, 07:45:38 pm

Impressive trip! 9b+ and 9b...!

And a (wet) 9a+ at the start of the trip.

r-man · February 10, 2013, 09:43:32 pm

A vid from 1 year ago. Been posted before but I missed it last time. 9b machine. From about 10.15 he gets a little pumped...

Doylo · February 10, 2013, 09:49:26 pm

Two 8cs onsight in Cuenca

petejh · February 10, 2013, 10:59:32 pm

I don't know what's supposed to be cutting edge anymore. If next week Ondra did the FA of a 9b+, o/s'd an 8c+ and flashed a 9a+ I'd probably not be that surprised.

Baldy · February 11, 2013, 09:17:30 am

Someone needs to stop him.

He is breaking the sport - I thought these things were supposed to be hard?
