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.
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.
