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.'

Quality ok if you select HD

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

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.  :strongbench:

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.

 :agree:

Someone needs to stop him.

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