Vlog 4 - Adam Ondra on the preparations for his onsight attempt at Salathé Wall

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.
