someone send him a picture of Brandenburg gate. So if he will come for that then he can finally tick hubble as a warm up

He's already said he can't do the crux of Hubble. I'd prefer him not to attempt it again so I can still say I've burnt off the best climber in the world in a really random, obscure and basically incorrect way.

I also can't do the crux of Hubble so I consider myself on a par with Ondra in that respect.

I have "flash La Marie Rose" on my to-do list for a much less impressive version of the same contrived reason.

Before his evening lecture Ondra ended the day by attempting Effetti Colaterali but he fell, twice. It's worth noting that this is a tough 8c, that it was already dark and that Ondra was climbing with a headtorch...

Training for the one-day push on the Dawn Wall has apparently begun

*awesome photo of Ondra on La Dura Dura*

Something that has often occured to me when watching climbing videos is that they often don't convey just how steep many of these really hard routes are. I don't know if it's just me, but on video La Dura Dura simply doesn't seem quite so overhanging (hardly surprising, given the angles the cameras are being pointed at). When you see a photo like this where the camera is balanced, the lens is nearly horizontal and the quickdraws on other routes act as a reliable reference for the angle, it really does hit home.

I stupidly decided to cross that off my to-do list as the light was fading at the end of my sixth day on.  Blew the flash, obviously.

Also, Ondra did First Round First Minute.

From the Spanish article:
"Lo que por cierto me diņ lo que me faltaba para encadenar la via, ha sido hacer sprints."
A-ha.

Adam visiting the Peak District in April

Hope he has another go at Hubble too as well as stifling the most annoying question on FUKC.

Ondra's been spotted in Hathersage, fiddling with black mastercams, green x4's and folded over rock 10's. Wonder where he's off to this afternoon?
