I’m not sure how long it will be available, but this video of Adam Ondra climbing in Germany’s Frankenjura seems worth sharing. In the video, Ondra climbs two very different looking 5.14d sport routes, Der Heilige Gral and The Essential. The former is a steep and long traversing type route and the latter is an in your face pocket pulling affair. Enjoy while you can!
Update 11/25/09: Not surprisingly, the video is no longer available.
Update 12/1/09: You can now see this video at DPM HDTV. Apparently DPM posted the video on their site without permission
Nice footage.
That’s Tomi Nytorp from Finland watching young Adam climbing. Tomi won the Nordic Bouldering Championships yesterday.

The videographer clearly asks no one to link to the video.

Man I’m glad I check Climbingnarc every day. I would have been angry if I missed this video…

That 2nd line ‘The Essential’ nees a better scrub!

Good catch Brian!

sounds to me like he was against people embedding the video in their pages, not linking to it.
if noone linked to the video, how would anyone see it?

“sounds to me like he was against people embedding the video in their pages, not linking to it.”
That’s what I thought too. Also, the vid was posted almost 3 weeks ago.

Nice video… everything is framed nicely… edited smoothly… excellent picture quality… my only beef with this video (and I’m seeing this a lot in these “story” driven climbing videos) is that the actual footage of climbing isn’t all that great. If they just put a little more effort into some better rigging and took some more dynamic shots… the video would be fantastic. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?… cuz I feel like everyone will be all over this just because Adam Ondra is in it. Nice video.. needs better climbing footage.
