Adam Ondra Action Directe Video

Posted May 23, 2008 at 1:29 pm · Comments { 3 } ·

Action Directe is one of those iconic problems that I don’t really think you can see too much footage of people climbing. Check out Euroclimbing.com for footage of Adam Ondra on his recent repeat of this classic 5.14d. Not the greatest footage, but the cool photos make up for it.

To wrap up this series of ego boosts for T-Boz here is a sequence of photos of him climbing the left side of the Tombstone (not sure if it has a name or not). Regrettably he botched his flash attempt due to uncontrollable laughter, but sent in good form on his 2nd attempt.
