In reply to catt: I enjoyed the vid too. I like the uncut (well it looked pretty uncut) stuff on the traverse.

This is unbelievable stuff. I am sure Ondra will now raise the bar of the very hardest level after these superfast repeats.

Its cool that Ondra (and Sharma) get the thumbs up from Huber as Huber has not always been the most charitable of advocates of climbers like Bernabez Fernandez and Fred Rouhling who he has both publically doubted in terms of their own 9b ascents and whether he considered them as representing a breakthrough to the next difficutly level (which he didn't).

Yes, I agree!

Having just downloaded Flash Player so I can finally watch the video's on UKC, I'd say his climbing is simply beautiful!
