That sequence around the roof looks awesome!

[petejh]

Shitting hell that looks amazing. Not afraid of a run out is he!

[slackline]

Apparently at least as hard as La Dura Dura.

A translation from Reddit...

Post take:

Now, I am 2/3 the way through the climb. I have already climbed 20 meters of overhanging 9a/+; however, from here to the chain is 8 meters of 9a. In all, it could be 9+. perhaps this means 9b+? I think it needs even more work to send, but it's motivating. It's a good line with good movement - it motivates me to train and to return. It's difficult to compare with La Dura Dura because they are completely different styles. This is much more of an endurance climb because you have to do a very hard sequence at the top of the climb. While the crux of Dura Dura was harder, it was down low, while this one is at the top

Commence climbing

It's a big lateral movement to a sloper. You have a bunch of feet, but they're all terrible. After, there is a big move to a crimp with a thumbcatch. It's very difficult when you're tired to grab it perfectly, and if you don't grab it perfectly, you can't do anything off it. The crimp is very bad.

Voice-over stops, then he falls

The most difficult single movement is down low - because I'm fesh, it feels much easier then when I'm up here, super pumped. Here is the key section to the route. You get here super pumped and even though here there are two crimps that are good enough, you can't rest much. I think it's better to run it to the top. Here is a flat sidepull and here there are many feet to choose from, but now I don't know which are the best. Down low, there are good feet to make a move to pinch this crimp, but it's very hard to catch it perfectly. If I use the low feet, it's really hard to move them up - alternatively, if I start with the high feet, it's way harder to catch the pinch/crimp, but it's much easier to move my feet up aferwords. After, there are two dynmaic movements where you can definitely fall. All this to get yourself to the anchor not sure about the lest sentence. It sounds like he says "A un presento al fin" ... I dunno

Makes the moves and clips the chains

Resting, it's easy. After climbing the whole route... I don't know whn the next [estancia] is. Perhaps when his next trip is? Hopefully in two weeks. I don't know if I will be able to send, but I'm excited and hopeful

Some Ondra humour..

Someone should make that video.

Good interview

[dontfollowme]

Incredible.

[James Malloch]

Incredible.

You say that but one route was "a mere 9a" and he implied a lack of strength after getting "a little pumped" on a 9a+...

Crazy climbing!

[krymson]

I thought I understood climbing until I saw this video

Change the Movie

[Muenchener]

Some mad Quarryman-esque action around 6:00

Brilliant. The sequence at the start, repeating the 9a+ in Slovenia in the damp, shows more clearly than anything else I've seen just how hard hard climbing really is. And that disappointingly easy 9a thing in the cave in Czech is just amazing.

If these were outtakes from The Wizard's Apprentice then somebody's editing judgement is really called into question.

Also I hope all the footage of the new film 'Change' won't be released on the internet as clips before the film is released.

Another 8c+ onsight: http://www.ukclimbing.com/news/item.php?id=68039

[masonwoods101]

  another?... Can't even onsight 9a... Wonder what monstrosity of a route he will try in Norway....

[duncan]

Promo for 'Change'.

North Norway looking glorious. I want that house on the Fjord (... for three months of the year).

Adam Ondra - Change - Backstage movie

[Fiend]

Looks like it will be a very good film all round.

From Montura's Facebook page:



“It was my challenge for more than two years”, with these words Adam Ondra has announced his first 9a onsight. The route is called “Cabane au Canada” on the cliff of Rawyl, Switzerland. Another great achievement made by the Montura athlete, who once again amazes us with his talent, diligence and determination.
