And that's exactly why he keeps saying that he's weak. Because he knows it. 

[petejh]

Excellent. This and the interview with the Anderson brothers are probably the two best podcasts about training for climbing that I've listened to.

[Clart]

Agreed, was a great interview. There are a lot of examples in sport where you have the naturally talented and the training masochists. Combining the best in both fields is, I would imagine, rare and it will be fascinating to see what Ondra does with the combination over the next couple of years

[Duma]

Excellent, lots of good stuff, thanks for the link

Is 8c, 8b flash and 8b+ first ascent IN A DAY still newsworthy for bouldering?

I'd say hell yeah! Links? Story?

A few details on 8a.nu

How helpful of you to link to them. 

[jwi]

No links to 8a please, it only improves the idiot's google score.

A copy and paste would be useful then as saying some information is on a given website but not including it will in many cases have the same result as including a link, i.e. an extra visit to the site when someone goes to read it.

Did try to copy and paste previously, but was a bit rushed for time and failed. Here you go.

Adam Ondra has together with many of the Boulder World Cup guys spent a day in RMNP where he needed just some few attempts to do White noise 8C, flashed Bear toss 8B and made a 8B+ FA. © Chad Greedy (Instagram) (copied from 8a.nu)

It's funny because even without the 'copied from 8a.nu' I could tell it was from that site...

..just some few attempts
..and made a 8B+ FA


I like it, and think we should many of us post in that style.

Thats exactly whats in the UKC write-up fatneck had already linked to.

[Richie Crouch]

I love hearing about/watching anything Ondra does, such a monster! Hope he does well in the bouldering World Cup season.

[Rocksteady]

8B, 8B+ and 8C all in the same day is flippin' ridiculous. One could be extremely proud of this as a lifetime's achievement at the almost cutting edge. That guy is another level of beast.

One could be proud of each one of those feats as a single lifetime achievement...
8b flash: lifetime achievement
8b+ first ascent: lifetime achievement
8c: idem.
Now put them all together.
Now do them in a day.

[petejh]

Bloody ell.

Clearly the limiting factor, in terms of bouldering difficulty, is the rock not the man.

Meanwhile at Hypnotized Minds, Dave Graham shows his approval for Ondras rendition of "One of us on the holds/Oh Johnny G"......

[SA Chris]

dab

[Baldy]

Looks like someone dragged that photo right out of the 90's

[bendavison]

"One of us on the holds/Oh Johnny G"......

'One armers on the holds', no? Or as I missing a joke?

[andy popp]

He's flashed Jade.

[slackline]

He's flashed Jade.

Congrats to Adam Ondra on flashing Jade (V14) today ... the world cup stuff is kinda cool, but this is what makes Adam a legend

[Pako]

And he flashed a v13 right after... Bloody insane. This is his third v14 flash including Gecko Assis and Confessions.
