Looking forward to it whenever that day comes. Be interesting to see what he thinks to the grade
Quote from: JohnM on November 18, 2020, 08:31:30 amI don't think Ondra will even try Bibliographie. That is just based on a gut feeling though! TBH I thought he would be getting close to Perfecto Mundo quicker but maybe the conditions have been bad like he says in his videos.Why? he seems one of the most consistently psyched to try others routes? I guess putting such a huge effort into something not an FA perhaps?

You’ve all seen the film where he’s writhing around on the ground with his movement coach simulating the holds by pushing him with his hands right?!.

Not sure I’d want to stick around if he turned up where I was (admittedly it’s unlikely he’ll visit Birchen Edge) I think people just put up with it because he’s so goofy and affable.
Also, it often seems when these sorts of things are being filmed at least one of the neighbouring routes becomes off limit. I wonder what the etiquette is if one of those routes happens to be your project. Do you just have to accept that you won't be getting on it as you'd wish that session? This happened to me once at LPT and I remember feeling a bit miffed at the time.

The film’s called Age of Ondra. It’s currently free online but impossible to link directly to because UKB autocorrects the name of the soft drink company that hosts it so you’ll have to Google it.
Other than ride their bikes i dont think any of the tour boys lift a finger
