Adam Ondra Talks About His New 5.14d In The Czech Republic

Adam Ondra writes for PlanetMountain about his new 5.14d in the Czech Republic:

I established “To tu jeste nebylo” together with Ondra Benes ground-up last autumn and I managed the first redpoint a few days ago. The name could be translated as “Never been here before” as this is a breakthrough in terms of difficulty on Czech sandstone.

The route in question was rap bolted and chipped against the local ethic some years ago and was subsequently chopped before Ondra and Ondra1 re-bolted it at their own peril last year.  Gnar.

  1. Does that work?

“Top Out On See Spot, When You See It”

Jason Kehl mentions in another update on his Facebook page that Ashima Shiraishi has done Barefoot On Sacred Ground (V11 or 12) with the highball See Spot Run finish thrown in for good measure.  The Big Up cameras have been rolling throughout her trip so look to see Ashima once again in this year’s Reel Rock Tour.  Kehl has had his camera rolling so look for footage from Ashima’s trip to appear somewhere at some point in the near future.

Outside Voices

Interesting thoughts from Peter Beal in his latest shot across the bow at the current state of affairs in the climbing industry:

To read the offerings in magazines and online is to recognize that there are no prominent outside voices, pun intended, who are willing to rock the boat in any meaningful sense, to call into question the numerous dubious assumptions built into the marketing-focused image of the sport that is achieving dominance today.
