Puurs Mens finals 2009

An alert mind that allows for quick descision making, a huge repertoire of movements from lots of hard climbing already with sixteen years --- Voilà, you can virtually run through the notourisously overhanging Puurs competition wall! Demonstrated by Adam Ondra winning the IFSC Climbing Worldcup in Belgium last night! In the future we all have to climb like Adam Ondra!

this is great, really illustrates the importance of speed in difficulty climbing.

Great comparison.

Due to his height and flexibility, Adam seemed to have a huge advantage at that spot where the other two climbers fell off. Interesting (desperate?) solution by Patxi, but it looked quite exhausting ...

I watched this video tree times:

first in was astonished of the skills and speed of ondra

then i watched Patxi Usobiaga and last I looked, how Manuel Romain fails!

Ondra killer it, hé has great potential of becoming the Best climber ever

@psychotrn I noticed this to, i think in particular the length of his limbs in proportion to his torso helps him do really interesting compression moves, really big rock overs etc. I notice a similiar advantage sometimes with Dave Graham. Both of whom prefer to climb lots of real rock over power training indoors coincidentally.

Master of foot-hooks. Great climbing-style

Patxi is the best!!!

Adam Ondra = New generation of Climbers.

How old is he in this video? 16? That year he did La Rambla and open Air. Both rated at 9a+. Even Sharma wasn't able to do such difficult routes at that age.

No doubt one of the best climbers of our times.

[duffy100]

patxi is the best

Nice camera angle, cool to see 3 different climbers at same time!
