Shooting Adam Ondra in Kalymnos

[9b editor]

Thanking Aris Theodoropoulos and Kalymnos Municipality, next days I will fly to Kalymnos to shoot Adam Ondra during Kalymnos climbing festival.


The shootage will be used for a (not so soon ...) coming film about LOVE (for climbing, of course ;-)

I (we ?) will try to keep You informed, day by day, about Adam ascents :-)

For sure You'll find a little report in Adam's MAG.

Ciao !

Ok !
Action started :-)

Today, the first day of the Kalymnos Rock Climbing Festival, Adam Ondra onsighted Gora Guta Gutarak, 8c+ (Adam thinks it could be 8c ...).
Gora is the hardest onsight in Kalymnos climbing history.

Then Adam cecked the moves of another close route, it-s harder for sure, I shooted the crux, it's a jump to a very very small vertical, to go to a pair of slopers ... impressive ...

Tomorrow at 9.00 we will be there !
Ciao !

Humidity.
And hard moves.
For sure 9a, the first one in kalymnos.
These were the reasons the route is still waiting a first ascent.
Anyway, Adam climbed an 8b+ onsight.

Today rest day.
Ciao !

So,
yesterday was rest day: it means "just" an 8b and two 8as onsight for Adam (!).

And today :-)
It was the perfect day !

Los revolucionarios, 9a, first ascent !
He climbed it first go this day.

Then, in Sikati cave, 8c flash !
Jaws, flash because he saw the video with Chris Sharma and Dani Andrada climbing it.

Adam put the quickdraws in the route by himself.

Then, another 8b onsight !



And "the adventure" is not still finished ...

Yesterday Adam climbed two 8c+ in the same day !

A full report in Adam mag as soon as possible :-)
