Don't think this has been put up yet...apologies if it has.

Ondra spending the last week in Switzerland has yet again put together a fairly impressive sending list on a short climbing trip:
•Riverside, 8B+, FA, Magic Wood
•Unendliche Geschichte, 8B+, Magic Wood
•From shallow waters to riverbed, 8B+, 3rd go,Magic Wood
•Einfisch kleinfisch, 8B, Chironico
•The crackline, 8B, Chironico
•Delusion of grandeur, 8B, Chironico
•Steppenwulf, 8B, Magic Wood
•Four 8A+'s and four 8A's

I'm glad I'm into climbing for myself and not to be the best. Ondra is like the Usain Bolt of the climbing world.

[Terrace Ghost]

and now just what you have been waiting for......Adam Ondra The Movie

[slackline]

Saw a trailer for this a while back (some bouldering and some very gymnastic route through a roof), looks brilliant.

[Johnny Brown]

Amazing.

[Jaspersharpe]

Excellent. I miss Hi-de-Hi.

[JamesD]

  I think there really is no doubt at all, this guy is flipping amazing, I think that pretty much blows away everything I have ever seen, apart from maybe that Nalle Huk..something something guy.

[Rocksteady]

Awesome. The kid lives such an amazing life, cranking all over the world. Hero. 

[cofe]

Nice use of Explosions in the Sky.

[Nibile]

porco dio!
 

[Jim]

do you think he's got laid yet?

[SA Chris]

porco dio!
 

Recently deceased pig?

More footage from the same guy.

Unsuccessful attempts on-sighting in Zilletral )

"Warming up" on some boulder in the Czech Republic

[Fultonius]

As much as he's obviously an absolute climbing machine, I can't imagine he's be much banter at the crag!

To be fair I think the people that bumped into him at Kilnsey might disagree with you.

[robertostallioni]

He seems Ok to me. In fact, probably much less of a twat than me at 17......or 34

[Fultonius]

I don't think he's a twat at all, he just looks introspetive, a bit moody and he get's the rage every time he falls off. Maybe he was having a bad day...

 I'm just not a fan of dummy-spittage after falling off routes. One of the guys I climb with a lot does it all the time and we all tell him to shut the hell up but it doesn't stop him. He is good banter, but even so his rants and fits of rage sometimes ruin everyone elses psyche. 

Don't get me wrong, I'd have loved to have seen him in action too. He just doesn't always look like he's actually enjoying it much. 

Don't mention anything about my UKC dummy-spittage... 

[Doylo]

I think that pretty much blows away everything I have ever seen, apart from maybe that Nalle Huk..something something guy.

Ondra is another level. Considering he is predominantly a sport climber yet has still flashed font 8b/+ = incredible.

[Fultonius]

One thing I've noticed is that despite doing 9 x 8B+ problems and many of them in very quick time, he's not done any 8Cs.

I imagine he would if he put his mind to it!

Like you say, that's some pretty impressive bouldering ticks for a skinny sport climber! 

[JamesD]

Yeah his technique is fucking amazing, such efficient movement.
In terms of bouldering though I really rate that Nalle guy, he has so much raw power it's just flipping awesome, and he is graceful with it as well, not like Sharma etc who fly around with their legs flailing all over the place (not that I don't think thats cool too though), but he's like the Thor of the bouldering world

[Paul B]

Nalle or Malc???

[slackline]

Yeah, check out Stone Love if you want to see some smooth climbing from Malc.

[Fultonius]

There's a moment of pure comedy where Malc campusses up an 8B (iirc) after only trying it for about 5 minutes. The camera is only showing waist up and it really looks like his feet are on the ground.

Every move he locks off on 1 arm and asks where the next hold is! 

[Paul B]

+ franks wild years where he ignores the foothold and just smears. Its awesome he's climbing again, say what you will about him being over strong but he does tick!

[Stubbs]

Re: 8C's

I had wanted to try Practice of the Wild and In Search of Time Lost, but both of them were desperately wet. The whole Magic Wood was wet at the beginning of the week, so we moved to Chironico. I tried Big Paw the first day, early in the morning, coming quite close to sending it (I did the stand start Boogalagga only with two pads for the start, which makes it slightly easier to put your feet on the rock). The next day I got up 5:15 AM, but couldn't do the moves and climbed something different instead. After a restday, I came back again very early in the morning, but it was again desperate, even though the temperature was the same as the first day and I was well rested... Anyway it is a really nice problem and I would like to get back for it one day.
