Adam Ondra interview

Planet Mountain has got a full length interview with Adam Ondra. "For me it is definitely the most important achievement in my climbing career. Itโ€™s what I value the most, the route Iโ€™ve put the most effort in, where Iโ€™ve had to dig the deepest. Now that itโ€™s finally come through itโ€™s just incredible. An experience which is very rare and intense." So Adam (24), who has been appointed the 8a Climber of the year continuously since he was 17, values this higher than his other extreme achievements in all climbing disciplines , like; (c) Pavel Blazek 1. The Dawn Wall = Marathon 8 days climbing 2. Double World Champion in 2016 = Plastic power and power endurance 3. Change 9b+ in 2010 = Mental frustration 4. 9a onsight etc etc = Tactical skill 5. 8B+ flash Jade = Power
