Love the video. Adam is as inspiring as ever. The scale of Chilam is immense.
Think black diamond's intro writer should go jump in a dumpster though...

In reply to UKC Articles:

Astonishing stuff but the second route doesn't count as he used the tree!

Please do not take this seriously..

In reply to JH74:

I noticed that too. That means the FAs still for the taking! For this and Neanderthal where Chris Sharma grabbed the belay chain! I best get down the wall for training!

So I can change a route in my logbook from 'dogged' to 'onsight'. Thank you Mr Tree!

In reply to UKC Articles:
I love those power yells. If you play the video at 24x speed you can quite clearly hear a hidden message.

In reply to UKC Articles: That second video has to be one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen. Totally beyond comprehension.

In reply to anonymouse: Sounded more err... "orgasmic" to me...

In reply to Alex Thompson:

What exactly have you been... ahem, "doing"?

In reply to UKC Articles:

makes me appreciate how poor my foot work is. He's like an Egyptian ballerina.

In reply to UKC Articles:

There is no explanation for being able to shake out on the holds he did on la planta. It's basically cheating.

In reply to UKC Articles:

Excellent thanks for this. Wow.................what else can I say

In reply to R8JimBob88:

If there's a tree on a route Ive always used them ,after all its still climbing!

In reply to UKC Articles:

that last one was a cracker!

and of course the tree is in....not sure why Steve Mac got some stick ('scuse the pun) for using one in Rodellar.

I've boasted about this on the other channel as well but this place is near my house when i move on 2nd August.

Got to be the 1st place i go for a look. I am sure i won't be able to do anything there but i can look and get inspired.

Ondra reckoned that for potential hard new routes it's miles better than Margalef/Catalonia.

In reply to UKC Articles:

Is it just me that found all the cutting in the video really off-putting? I actually stopped watching about 4 mins in, it was annoying me that much. I was getting zero feel for what kind of climbing was going on.

In reply to UKC Articles:
Wow, what a video. Ondra is on another planet heading for the next galaxy.

In reply to royal:

He certainly will be when he starts putting up his own hard lines.

In reply to GrahamD:

Erm... he already is.

In reply to agibb: yarp. completely utterly distracting. first route could have been a ladder cunningly disguised and we would have no idea. atleast the editing chilled out on the 2nd route.

In reply to agibb: Yeah the point of the vid is to watch the climbing so why cut it out?
