CNN: "Adam Ondra: Rock god redefines art of climbing"

CNN has published a great Adam Ondra interview with some interesting quotes. "What I like about climbing that it's so broad. For certain periods I can focus on sport climbing and then I can shift my focus more on the bouldering or I can shift my focus on climbing in the mountains," "Dawn Wall is an amazing route and totally unique as it packs so many hard pitches on the top of each other. Tommy and Kevin made an awesome job by freeing this route. I would definitely like to try it next year in autumn and possibly climb it faster," he says. "Climbing it in one day would be my lifetime dream, but I have never climbed a single pitch on El Cap, so let's not talk about it too early."
