So Adam Ondra has topped out on the dawn wall. You can just imagine tommy c and kevin secretly thinking " you cheeky Czech pr*ck"

An amazing achievement though. I wonder if he saw any other 'impossible' lines on his visit. Will be interesting to see what he can do next

I can't imagine them thinking that at all. Anything but.

In reply to Robert Durran:
Yeah very probably. Funny how some hard lines go unrepeated for decades but this route has a second ascent in under 2 years. Almost certainly because of the widespread media attention it got I would imagine

No - it's because it was an incredible achievement, an inspiring route, brick hard and on the most iconic crag in the world.

So Jorgensen's reaction was actually "Totally badass"!

I wish I'd ever been that remotely badass.
