Adam Ondra Doesn’t Flash Realization (5.15a)

Adam Ondra Doesn’t Flash Realization (5.15a)

Shh…did you hear that? I think that was the sound of the world’s most epic wobbler making its way across the Atlantic…

The internets were set ablaze a short time ago as word came that Adam Ondra was going to finally give Chris Sharma’s Realization (5.15a) in Céüse a flash go. Fresh off a 5.15a FA at Céüse just the other day, Ondra was all set with the requisite camera crew and a sizable crowd of onlookers ready to see him make history.

Pictures and updates were posted on Facebook in near realtime as he made his way up the route.

He’s through the first crux

He’s done with the first part

He’s resting before the final crux

And then…no. He couldn’t quite pull it off.

On the bright side he did flash a 5.

14c if you still count the original route Biographie as a route which I believe most people still do. If nothing else, flashing that route is likely a first in and of itself.

We now return to regularly scheduled programming…

    Too bad! I think we all expected it to go down as a flash. I thought it wouldn’t be for another couple years though.

    The fact that a flash attempt on Realization can even be taken seriously is a testament to how far the bar has been raised in the last few years. 10ish years ago when the route had just been done anyone who even suggested that it was flashable would have been ridiculed. Now some people are surprised that it didn’t happen. Crazy.

      did you just criticize someone over their strength:weight ratio, in a sport where success is largely driven by ones strength:weight ratio?

      I’m sure Ondra’s success has nothing to do with a decade of sacrifice, hard work, and obsessive dedication to improving his climbing. It’s just his light weight. I’m sure we’d all be just as good as Ondra if we weighed less than 60kg. Yep. That’s why there’re so many people in Ondra’s weight class that climb just as well as him.

    Yeah, but his 1-arm pull up training seems to have given him plenty of muscles to lift those bones…. Can’t imagine his 8a.nu stats are up to date…
