Last month Adam Ondra made headlines when he made the 2nd ascent of Alex Huber’s Open Air (5.15a) at Austria’s Schleier Wasserfall. The ascent was notable in that the route had stood unrepeated for over 10 years.
Here is some video of Ondra’s send. It takes a while for the route to develop, but the ending is worth the wait.

Certainly very impressive! He makes it look so obvious and natural. He really is born for climbing.
But why (why?!)do people always have to put that awful music behind a movie?? I see it a lot in climbing movies. Very annoying, I want to hear the rock, the climbing, the emotions, or just the silence that makes climbing outside so great. Now I have to turn the sound off (to discover only in the end that there nonetheless was some original sound to the video..)

I agree, I find most music to be unnecessary in short clips.
