Hats off to the genius on the Ondra video who's blagged a lock of his hair. A priceless redpoint talisman indeed.

Should it be encased in liquid amber? Or woven into a beanie?

A type of tree? (as well as an 8c+ on LPT).

Single strands should be woven into an accapi type top. Imagine the possibilties.

As much chance as (allegedly) weaving platinum group metals into it. I can imagine the Ondrafibretm being able to extert enough force that even the most "heavily built" climber is compressed so their mass is reduced to that of the flyweight master himself.

I could do with some of that . . . .

Jas, next time you're up Yorkshire way give me a shout - I seem to remember this being pretty slabby...happy to hold your ropes and you can even borrow my size 4 and 5 cams!


http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=90158


Look forward to videoing the ascent (and ensuing colourful language) - I don't have any thrash metal to soundtrack the video with, so we'll have to make do with Fleetwood Mac or Phil Collins.

Don't listen to him Jas - 3T's gone potty and now likes doing things with ropes and *shudders* large cracks...

I think it's just the start of Ondra building an inverted onsighting pyramid. a couple of E7s, a few E8s a bunch of 9s and all the 10s

Great. Nice to have a vid with no music, sponsors shizzle etc.. just captivating climbing. Brilliant.

Amazing. Such decisive movement. Difficult to tell he's onsighting at times. Comparing this with the footage of Megos on UK lime really does leave you with the impression that Ondra is in a different league, even compared to someone who has also onsighted 9a.

Amazing video.
The man is a machine.
I loved the final long rest just below the chain, that's truly smart and professional: good rest, take it! It doesn't matter that it's almost finished. "Almost" makes the difference.

To be fair I saw Megos attempting to onsight l'odi social at siurana and he was the epitome of flow. Still fell off but that's the new style.
