127. VIDEO PROFILE: BD athlete Adam Ondra on first asce…
1 year ago
Black Diamond athlete Adam Ondra is unquestionably one of the world’s top rock climbers. But what makes this Czech teenager so unstoppable, what drives him? We sent ace photographer/videographer Bernardo Gimenez (who also put together the Nico Favresse video profile) to meet up with Ondra at the French mega-crag of Ceüse to get the answers... which he did—as well as some sweet footage of Ondra making the first ascent of L‘étrange Ivresse des Lenteurs (9a+).

A tasteful blend of climbing footage and interview footage, we feel this video profile does as good a job as anything we’ve seen in showcasing the personality and determination of Adam Ondra.

To see a great collection of photos Gimenez took of Ondra in Ceüse, go to: blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/journal/climb/athletes/video-profile-bd-athlete-adam-ondra-climbing-9a-in-ce%C3%BCse

    Very inspiring. Love how simple his answers are in regard to his life. The music selection was great too! Were any of these songs available for public use? I've been having some trouble finding inspirational music.
