Long waited Adam Ondra, like many other professional climbers, from home. Fortunately, he has a handsome boulder wall at home, which paid off. Because a week ago Adam succeeded, for the first time on the rock, in climbing the Martin Stranik opened Boulders Iceberg.

Speed ​​and efficiency in large walls – Part 1

0
This two-part article is about speed and efficiency in multi-pitch climbing – not just on big walls, but also on long ridges or wherever you might find yourself. Can such an article do justice to this topic? At the very least, it can provide a well-intentioned kick in the pants to re-examine old patterns and habits. And there will certainly be a tip or two that will be directly helpful on your next climb. Tactical principles, specific techniques, and equipment recommendations will be covered in the second part of the article. The first part serves as an introduction. I realize that hardly anyone reads long texts anymore. But I don't want to oversimplify things, so give this article a chance!
