FFS, what a beast. Especially as he's not looked on top form in the comps. That vid with Dave Graham's reaction is awesome!

Just ridiculous. Obscene, not so long ago that was the hardest problem in America. After seeing him flailing on those stupid comp problems this puts it in perspective. THAT'S what's it's all about!!

Comps are just a means for him to get around the world and climb in different places.

Amazing. Its great to see someone as good as Graham feeling the same as us normal folks do when someone better than you pisses up your test piece.

And the poor kid in the red tee shirt just looks ready to give up after Ondra walks up the 8B hes probably been trying for years.

Makes you wonder, are there any simple strength moves that can't be flashed?

It makes it much better with Graham being there. There's footage of him trying it in 2001.

He really is something special - nice to see Dave Graham genuinely psyched too.

When is he ever not psyched?
