Ondra has been trying to flash 5.15a for years. Interview: Adam Ondra Completes World’s First 5.15a/9a+ Flash.Ondra belayed Chastagnier twice to watch the moves, quizzing Chastagnier about each grip, then cast off on its incut crimps and tiny pockets. The route was equipped by the French climber Quentin Chastagnier, and freed in October 2016 by Alex Megos. The 65-foot route is a flurry of power-endurance “micro” management, a 28-move sprint followed by eight easier moves. On February 10, the Czech Adam Ondra, 25, became the first climber to flash 5.15, firing the 9a+/5.15a Super Crackinette at Saint-Léger, France. It’s a precision performance at any level, from 5.10 to 5.15. And if it’s a flash, with beta from another climber, then you need to make sure the sequencing suits your body. With an onsight or a flash, one slip of the foot or botched sequence and it’s over. The video is below, as is our article from 2018 about Ondra’s road to the 5.15 flash.
#ADAM AND GAIA DUPLICATES FREE#
This week, Reel Rock released their film of Ondra’s ascent on YouTube, showcasing what is some of the best rock-climbing footage ever captured: the world’s best free climber making a perfect, first-try performance on a very difficult climb where the smallest error will torpedo the effort. His feat was so singular, so out there, that so far no other climber-including Ondra himself-has been able to duplicate it, to make another 5.15a flash. On February 10, 2018, Adam Ondra became the first climber to flash a 5.15, firing off Super Crackinette (5.15a) at Saint-Léger, France. Heading out the door?
