Am Lead World Cup in Chamonix won Adam Ondra Gold. The fact that the Czech Olympian climbed to the top of the podium when he returned to the international competition stage is not least due to his meticulous preparation.
"We also do these simulations to get a good feeling and boost confidence: Yes, I'm strong, I'm a good climber, I read the routes really well in my onsight attempt."
