Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold spent Saturday romping up big walls in Yosemite. The pair free climbed Freerider on El Cap (6:45 climbing), the South Face of Mt. Watkins (2:40 climbing) and the Regular Northwest Face on Half Dome (5 climbing) in just over 21 hours. More at Climbing.com. So…how was your weekend??
Adam Ondra On Chilam Balam (5.15b), 4.0 out of 5 based on 5 ratingsEthan Pringle is back at Mt. Clark, home to that one route first done by that one guy:
Projecting a route like this requires all of your attention, and having to devote all of your attention to a route like this can get really tiring really fast. At some point, you just want to get it over with. Of course, afterward you feel a mix of relief and loss. Relief that you’re done and the epic is over, and loss that this magnificent line doesn’t require your presence anymore. But for me, I think I’ll have to take a nice long break from serious route projects for a little while after this. Like Randy Levitt said, “It’s like a limestone El Cap.” Obviously, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it does sort of convey the amount of work required to complete a project of this caliber.
Pringle is no stranger to Jumbo Love, having tried it even before its FA back in 2008. You can see some footage of those attempts here.

He just climbs so freaking well.
I’ve never seen him place a foot with anything but absolute precision.

I have to admit Adam Ondra is insanely inspiring to watch but also slightly boring…he flows through everything with such ease. It’d be cool if he wasn’t always ridiculously precise and efficient, or at least grunted a la Sharma through the crux moves to make it seem like he’s really pushing.

It is pretty amazing to watch. You really could never tell the difficulty of the routes he’s climbing if you weren’t told beforehand.

Kneebaring without duck-tape. Clearly must only be 5.12…. (damn he makes it look easy) The ending also seemed funny. Was that a video of the send or of him working the route?

It said somewhere that this was shot the day after the actual send

What a supremely bizarre route. Half of the moves are so unusual.
I don’t even know what to say about AO. He made it look so easy.

Totally agree ..Strangest route and Rock pattern ever ..But the comment above is so true..As good as Ondra is ..Watching the struggle and battle cries from Sharma is much more exciting .
Ondra is King .. Sharma is GOD
