Newsflash 'Hard 8B' flash for Adam Ondra
Adam Ondra has flashed Luftig kö till nålens öga, an 8B boulder at Hultastenen, Kjugekull, Sweden.
Our Friday Night Video this week documents Adam Ondra's recent trip to the Canadian Rockies. The film gives a superb insight into what it takes to climb at the highest level, from the most mundane aspects such as skin management to the tactics Adam employs whilst onsighting. 8b warm ups and hard onsights are par for the course for Adam, although he admits that occasionally 'you can easily fall on 8c...'

Really enjoyed that. Best video I have seen of him, best footage, good soundtrack and better dialogue about his process of onsighting. Really good.
Nice video, 2 good FNVids in a row! Cheers
Agree with others. What a great vid.
Amazing to see the mistakes and re-adjustments from the onsight climb, done with so much speed and conviction.
A superb film-about the journey, the location, the people as well as the climbing. Makes a nice change. Looking forward to the others now.
I, for one, cannot wait for the footage of the eventual send.
I was lucky enough to have watched him on "Disbelief" and it was some of the most alien movement I've seen on a rock climb. The intricacy of the footwork was impressive, the body tension unreal, and the screaming was very screamy.
