Adam Ondra flashes Lexicon, E11 7a
The ascent is the hardest trad flash of all time, and took place with no prior inspection of the holds.
With the Tokyo Olympics well underway and the climbing due to start next Tuesday, this week's Friday Night Video is an Olympic double-bill focusing on some of the stories from qualification.
In the first film, Indonesia's climbing hero Aries Susanti Rahayu knows she has to win the Speed event in order to have a chance at securing an Olympic spot, while USA's Kyra Condie must defeat her teammates to stay in the running for Tokyo.
The second film follows climbing legend Adam Ondra as he clinches his Olympic sport, France's Bassa Mawem, Spain's rising star Alberto Gines Lopez and Nathaniel Coleman from Team USA.
