The 9a flash had a nice little 8B boulder at the start too!

Glad to hear he hasn't forgotten how to climb on rock after all his plastic pulling. I know Ondra's on-sighted a couple of 9a now (2 or 3 depending on where you look) but how many has he, or anyone else for that matter, flashed? A quick look at 8a.nu says that he's previously flashed a 9a+. I'm guessing Megos has done one?

On why he went back to school:

in my opinion, it is impossible to train more than 4 hours a day, because your skin doesn’t allow you to do more.... thinking 24/7 about climbing is harmful and doesn’t make you climb harder

Also, Sachi Amma did Catxasa (9a+) in 4 attempts

According to Sachi Amma's facebook it was a flash. Sorry, nothing to write home about... :yawn: (Would of course be   :strongbench: if it was someone else...)

Seems like his form is slipping. Only 8c+ second try and techy 8A+ flash to report.

Son #2 and I arrived in time to witness his second try. Embarrassingly my son muttered "I don't think he can climb it" quite audibly as Adam got into the initial slab crux ... at which point he slipped off.
Was JuniorHabrich firing foam darts at Ondra by any chance?

So your son is a prophet, a powerful jinx-casting shaman, or an astute analytical observer of sporting activities. I don't see how any of these is embarrassing.

Dreamcatcher starts from the "room" between boulders where the Singularity is located, so Ondra must at least have looked at it.
Yeah thats why I asked.
Ondra is probably saving it for the flash after dream catcher  ;)

Royal visit or not - that music was awful. One does not approve.

Great interview with Ondra just posted today:

https://www.trainingbeta.com/media/tbp-017-adam-ondra-things-training/?portfolioID=3838

Agreed (despite some of the questions from the interviewer). He's certainly an impressive all round dude.
