“I kind of know how to climb”

Adam Ondra, in an interview with Evening Sends:

For me, however, it takes less time to adapt [to bouldering] because I have climbed many kilometers of rock in my life—on all kinds rock and different angles. I don’t want to boast, but I think I kind of know how to climb.

Understatement of the year?  Good interview.

    I wonder if Ondra would be stymied by Indian Creek’s splitters in the same way that Alex Megos was?

      I bet he’d epic on a couple for the first two or three days, then figure it out pretty darn quick and start crushing. And it’d be pretty rad to watch. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near it though. All the canyons are just big amphitheaters and you can hear echoes all the way down them.

      Dunno, but I found the sandstone cracks in Teplice/Adrspach the Czech republic much harder than those in Indian creek (and quite scary as well).

        There’s a new video about the Wideboys climbing there and they pretty much say the same thing,

          And boy, was I happy that they retro-upgraded Hlaska to 5.12+. That thing was fierce.
