Ondra not so wad appears to have failed to qualify for the semis in Chamonix. According to the scores on iSFC twitter feed he fell of the 3rd move of the 1st route.

Must have the footwork of Mark Leach.

Since he got a coach he seems to be going down hill in the comps.

He forgot to clip the first draw. No problem with the actual climbing

Not that surprising given how many he skips on harder sport routes!

from ondra's 8a log:
"TCT" , 9a, at Gravere; onsight:
"nice satisfaction after the lost Chamonix World cup. A tribute to Tito Traversa first ascended by Stefano Ghisolfi"

 and:
"La prophétie des grenouilles", 9a, at Fournel :"Soft, Second GO   ALMOST second 9a onsight in one day! broke a hold after the crux!"

 :bow:

same day, at different crags, in different countries no less,

The mind boggles.
Now only breaking holds will stop him onsighting 9a's on a regular basis. He's redefining the discipline.
What a legend.

I like how he says "lost" world cup.

Though, I dont disagree with that sort of form.

Yeah, apparently he thought he'd clipped the first clip but the rope got caught in the gate, so he clipped the 2nd bolt and jumped off.

Adam Ondra has onsighted Superplafond @ Volx, putting in the draws as he went. It's only 8c+ but...

And in July? Volx is one of the best crags in the world, that's undeniable, but it is prone to getting ever so slightly greasy, so it's a winter crag.

And the crux is a slopey boulder problem right at the top!

Shit the bed. Would love to see a vid of that. Got a vid of Jibe doing back in the day (masters of stone 3?). Barring two daft mistakes in the comps his training with Paxi seems to be going well.

That's completely mental. The crux of Maginot Line is hard and the Terminator finish is "only" 8b but as doylo says it's basically a grim slopey boulder problem and as the rest of Terminator is easy you can imagine what it's like.

Quote
"no one has ever onsighted a route of this difficulty dates back to before 2000." When asked for further explanation, Ondra pointed out "Well, it's always seemed to me that all the routes I've done that date back to the 90's are really tough for the grade, that's why I really wasn't expecting to onsight it. "

That's harsh.

If I was a betting man, and assuming anyone would have taken the bet, I would have bet a lot on Ondra dominating this year's climbing comp given his have-a-go effort at the end of last season, his very near miss in the bouldering round he entered and unmatched onsighting ability. He has, however, had a miserable season by anyones standards. I'd say he's feeling the pressure but it's not like he hasn't done comps before.

There's going to be a lot of climbers that can now say that they beat Ondra in competition.

Why do you think I have "flash La Marie Rose" on my to do list?
