In the fourth episode of Adam Ondra's video blog series, he reports on the preparatory work for his onsight attempt on Salathé Wall in Yosemite Valley.

Only a few facts in advance:

  • 500 meter fixed rope was used for the film crew
  • They used a black rope to make it less noticeable in the picture
  • The fixed ropes were only relatively short in the wall, so that other rope teams were not disturbed
  • Was accompanied Adam Ondra in his onsight attempt by Nico Favresse

Here is the report of his Onsight attempt on the Salathé Wall.
