How does Ondra sustain this output? Just incredible.

Good question. His mental strength and focus is what sets him apart. As a six year old he decided to become the best and he has done so in a mind-boggling way. No downs all these years, only upps. He’s smart, has studied, speaks 6 languages. Did all the significant routes, repeated almost everything hard. Also won everyting, then went on to put up all the hard stuff; boulder, sport and multi-pitch. 20 years of nonstop stoke and focus. And no injuries.

There’s got to be an identical twin, or a bunch of clones. 

Might be interesting to have his brain checked like they did with Alex Honnold. And his tendons/shoulders. Mutant.

I've never felt more ashamed to not be a spaceman.

He's so consistently good that I think I have what I'll call Ondrawad Fatigue Syndrome. I mean flashing 9a+ is really, really mind boggling. But because it's Ondra I don't think the significance quite sinks in. For me anyway. 9b FA a few days later? Meh.

[user deactivated]

Haha, yes it's like hearing god's just performed a miracle, if you believe in god that is.

You may not (yet) be an astronaut but your films are pretty darned good!

[andy popp]

Here's the 9b FA. The hard bit looks pretty short.

Not a bad day to finish off a trip.

Back home from France, the last day in St Leger was just pure fun.

- Panique au poulailler 8a onsight
- Ousama 8b+ failed onsight in the last meter
- La Hyene 8b+ onsight
- Les Abdominables 8b 2nd go (slipped from wet pocket on my onsight try)
- Les Intermutans du Spectacle 8b+ onsight
- Chipolatas et Jacuzzi 8b+ onsight
- Diagonal du Duboc 8b/b+ 1st go (shares the finish with previous one, so no onsight)
- Foetus trou du cus 8b/b+ onsight

I thought I was looking at Power Club for a minute and was thinking, "Wow, gme is going well at the mo....."

[Doylo]

Mileage day on 8bs and 8b+s. 
I used to do that on 7a/+s . 

[teestub]

Chipolatas et Jacuzzi is an awesome route name.

[remus]

Good to know he can still fall off things.

[Ged]

That is just mindblowing.  Basically five 8b+ onsight in a day, plus a couple of second goes.  What??!!

[jwi]

TBH, I would expect someone who have done a handful of 8b+ and a bunch of 8bs to be able to onsight six routes in the 7b-7b+ bracket when they have a good day.

[gme]

i Agree but using the same process shows how far ahead Ondra is. 9B no big deal and solid at 9B+. A step above the following pack including Megos.

[petejh]

I'd pay good money to watch a Moonboard death match between Ondra and Megos.

Megos would probably win that one.

Premiere of Silence on live stream in ten

[jwi]

that was nice!

[ferret]

It would be interesting to see a crack specialists approach to that crux section. He doesn't really use any/many jams, but they do look available.

Judging by the amount of analysis of the climbing and preparation suggested in the film I simply can't believe that they didn't consider and try out methods involving more traditional crack climbing methods. Finding weird beta is probably one of his biggest strengths.

[jwi]

Adam Ondra is a very good crack climber. Obviously.

[remus]

The film on it's own if you don't fancy the full live stream.

[monkoffunk]

I'm sure I recall an interview with him when he said there was beta to do the crux without inverting which he had done but thought was harder.

[Doylo]

I think it would have been a more satisfying watch to show the whole route.

[ghisino]

if you imply that he may have chosen another beta had he been "a crack specialist" i find the idea silly... he surely invested some time "studying" cracks for this crux, and has all qualities to be a very fast learner...

that said, beta variations, even radically different ones, would not surprise me much.
Jamming techniques=morpho
Ultrasteep=funkybetaland
ondra's knee flexibility=beyond ordinary...
