Adam Ondra Talks Gioia

PlanetMountain caught up with Adam Ondra yesterday after his repeat of Gioia to ask him the important questions like how’d it feel, what’s next and what he thinks about the grade:

Well every single move is at the very limit and so I do think it’s V16. I’d compare it in difficulty to Terranova. If you were to give this V15, then the bouldering grades wouldn’t make much sense anymore. You’d have to downgrade all the V14 and most of the V15’s as well.

Watch the video of Ondra climbing Gioia here.

Esperanza (V14) Repeated By Nalle Hukkataival

Nalle Hukkataival has repeated Fred Nicole’s Esperanza (V14) in Hueco Tanks, making him at least the 16th person to do so. Commenting about the problem on his 27crags ticklist he says that Esperanaza “must be the most classic contrived drop-off in the word [sic].” Watch him climb up and then drop-off in the video here.
