Marketa Janosova (12) does her 32 pitch Dawn Wall challenge

Marketa Janosova, who last year did two 8a's, onsighted her first 7c and was able to complete her 32 pitch dawn wall challenge during eight days, just like Adam Ondra. "In November 2016, I had plenty of time to watch Adam Ondra on his mission in Yosemite. My hands were sweating when I read his report from the Dawn Wall. I imagined how I would have felt had I been in his place and came up with a project My Dawn Wall. This project consists in climbing 32 routes in 8 days. The difficulty of the routes should match my capabilities. For example, Adam's dream is 9c, my dream is 8a+, so instead of 9a I will climb 7b+ (8c +: 7b, 8c: 7a +, etc.) The main goal of the project My Dawn Wall is to find out how Adam felt and show you that climbing easier routes can be more fun. Let's save the difficult routes for later and let's go gather meters. Are you in?"
