Valence in France: this was the stage chosen by Adam Ondra to celebrate his return to the Lead World Cup after three years of absence. And last night the 20-year-old from the Czech Republic could not have made a more convincing comeback, winning with the grit and class that enabled him, in 2009, to win the Lead World Cup in his debut year in senior competitions at a mere 16 years of age.

Sean McColl, who took 2nd for the men, has a nice recap of the event from his perspective that you can read here. The full replay of the event can be seen here.

→ Daniel Woods Does His Hardest Boulder Yet∞

Posted November 4, 2013 at 7:58 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

After doing the original earlier this year, Daniel Woods has done a low start to Dave Graham’s The Ice Knife (Once V15, now seems to be V14) at Guanella Pass, CO to yield what he considers to be his hardest problem yet:

Every attempt was a gamble and I had to just give it my all. For most of my ascents, I can pin point when I am going to send.

This one was not the case. I just convinced myself that one day would be the “lucky” day and I would never have to go back again.

Woods spent some 13 days working the problem before succeeding which, when you think about it, is really not that long in the grand scheme of things. Imagine what he could do if he had to spend multiple years to complete a project.

Can a boulder problem that hard even exist?

→ Foundation’s Edge∞

Dave Graham, writing for The Island about his FA of Foundation’s Edge in Fionnay, Switzerland:

It was an awesome climb. I battled it out, got super pumped, and didn’t kill myself falling off wet top out.

19 moves, and about 12 meters long, and one my favorite pieces of climbing I have ever done.

The sequence is powerful and tensiony, yet flowing. I love the body positions you get into while you climb it. Very athletic, yet balancy.

Disaster strikes! Haul bag took a 200 plunge while clipped to the back of my harness.

Hauling hook fail. It was a bit jarring. Looks like a costochondral seperation. I am headed home to try and heal as quickly as possable.

Best of luck to Tommy as he recovers.

What this means for the 2013 effort on the Dawn Wall is unclear, but between the 16 day government shutdown and this, the odds of the route going this year don’t look real great from here.
