Beta for the crux: you need to take one really small hold, which is called "crimp", and you need to go into the shoulder move

With the beer prices in Norway you can safely assume that Tucker Tech will not go there to take the wind out of Adam's sails.

She is working hard to get climbing admitted as an Olympic sport.
Oh gawd, not this again. I used to want that, but the more you think about it the more silly it seems.
I'd rather climbing remain out of the mainstream . . .

groomed as a sex symbol before she turned 18? that's kind of disturbing. Wish her all the best with her passion as a climber.
Jeebz please let her know that to be a REAL climber, she has to join supertopo....after she turns 18 of course.

First she needs to stop climbing anything harder than 5.8...especially anything with BOLTS!

A thread about the hardest route in the world to date is hijacked by 18 year old eye candy.

I frickin love Ondra. He is an absolute dork, the kind of kid you would expect to be playing World of Warcraft and throwing the same wild tantrums at someone over computer. But instead he is the best climber in the world, and an absolutely amazing one at that. His technique is out of this world.
I love his passion. I always had a hard time coming to terms with his tantrums as I am kind of a quite guy at the crag. People throwing tantrums and yelling at the crags piss me off, but rarely do the tantrums come from a place of unbridled passion, its usually college kids with hangovers who can't send the grade they promised their girlfriend they could. Now I think it is rather amazing to see.
Ondra is the quintessential anti-hero, we need more like him to break up the spoon fed images and ideas TV and social media set forth as examples of how to behave as humans. .15c? Amazing.

I didn't get the Ondra tantrums until I saw it in person. I've spent the last few weeks watching both Chris and Adam trying La Dura Dura in Oliana. Adam's passion is truly unparrelled and comes from somewhere deep down and cat like. I understand it now where the video made it seem annoying. 5 mins after an attempt Adam would be back to enthusiastic dorky groud persona. He's a great and funny guy to talk to. The climb is really at another level.

I threw these same tantrums when my favorite soccer team lost in Champions League when I was 13. BFD!

People make the argument that Ondra doesn't act his age (20?) by throwing these tantrums, I would make the argument that he is acting beyond his age. He is throwing pure passion into what he does, letting it out when he fails, not caring what other people think, and being down to earth when it is all over. At least that is my assessment based on a couple of videos. I think most agree there is something amazing going on here though.
