Adam Ondra visited the Swiss climbing region of Soyhières and attempted to onsight climb the most difficult routes in one afternoon. Will he make it? You'll find out in this video.
Ondra loves playing onsight climbing. And it was precisely this game that he recently dedicated himself to Soyhières in the Basel Jura. The area is known for its long and endurance-intensive routes. The Czech chose the 8b+ route Déja as a warm-up route, which pumped him up more than expected after a successful onsight ascent.
“There are people who love it when their arms are really pumped during the warm-up route. I don't like that because then I feel like my maximum strength is suffering for the rest of the day."
He chose Le temps difficile (8c+), Un Chant pour Philm (8c) and Mines de rien (8b+) as further routes for his onsight game.
And if you're wondering after the video how such a ticklist is possible, you'll get it Ondra In short, the simple answer: “The right strategy makes all the difference.” If only it were that easy.
