Adam Ondra, a world champion Czech climber, just achieved the second free ascent of Yosemite’s hardest big-wall free climb, the Dawn Wall—in record time.
On the afternoon of November 21, Adam Ondra, a 23-year-old world champion sport climber from Brno, Czech Republic, arrived on the summit of the 3,000-foot monolith in Yosemite National Park known as El Capitan. In doing so, he achieved an audacious goal of completing the second free ascent of the Dawn Wall, called the hardest, longest free climb in the world.
“It feels amazing right now,” said Ondra, minutes after arriving on the summit. “This is one of the best feelings I've ever had in climbing. Wow, so good. I think it'll be a long-lasting happiness and joy due to the length and effort of the route.”
Ondra’s success is noteworthy for many reasons, but perhaps most impressive is the speed with which he dispatched the Dawn Wall’s 32 incredibly difficult pitches. (A pitch is a rope-length of climbing, usually around 100 feet long. The goal of a free ascent is to climb each pitch without falling or resorting to hanging on gear; ropes and gear are used in free climbing, however, as a safety net in case of a fall. Free climbing is different than free soloing, which is climbing without any ropes at all.)
Ondra began his ground-up push last Monday, November 14, at 1:30 a.m. Pacific time. Just under eight days later, he reached the top, victorious.
“In the end it was just as hard as I expected, but it took more time than I expected, because I was a total beginner to this style of climbing in Yosemite,” says Ondra. “There’s no doubt this is the hardest big-wall rock climb in the world.”
Adam Ondra climbs fast.
He started climbing at six years old and became an internationally recognized prodigy by the time he was 10. He says climbing fast is a matter of efficiency. The less time he spends hanging out on a steep cliff, the less tired his forearms get. The faster he goes, the harder he can climb.
His forte is ascending the overhanging limestone and granite outcrops in Europe. On many of these 100-foot bluffs, some of them overhanging by 45 degrees, Ondra has achieved numerous records—including first ascents of the three most difficult sport routes in the world, each one rated 5.15c on the open-ended Yosemite Decimal System. (Open-ended means that there’s no cap to how difficult a free climb could get; one day the next hardest notch in the difficulty scale, 5.15d, will be achieved. It just hasn’t been yet.)
Only one other person in the world, Chris Sharma, has reached the level of 5.15c, and in his case, it was only once.
Ondra is 5’11” and a rangy 150 pounds. On the rock, he moves like a panther, all slinky and mesmerizing. There’s a certain feral quality to the way he attacks a sport climb. One of his gifts seems to be climbing very difficult sport routes “onsight”—without any “beta” or rehearsal—on his very first try. He has onsighted more difficult sport climbs than anyone else in the world. To see Ondra climbing onsight, you’d think he had rehearsed it a thousand times, but in reality, his split-second decisiveness, calm, and grace, all while hanging from impossible-looking holds, speaks to his preternatural intuition for moving in a vertical realm.
The ability to do hard sport routes, however, rarely lends itself to success on the big walls of Yosemite Valley, where the climbing style is extremely idiosyncratic, much more intimidating, and logistically complicated.
Rock climbing is a sport of progression. Achieving incremental improvements on speed, difficulty, and style are the pistons of the engine that drive all rock climbers, not just the world’s best.
In 1993, Lynn Hill became the first person (not just first woman) to free-climb the 2,900-foot Nose of El Capitan, perhaps the most famous rock climb in the world. Her monumental ascent took four days to complete. In 1994, she returned to the Nose and free climbed its entirety in a single day—technically, 23 hours.
With this historical precedent, a sub 24-hour all-free ascent of the Dawn Wall is the obvious next step. The questions are: Can it be done, and will Ondra be the one to do it?
“It would be really difficult,” says Caldwell, envisioning a 24-hour Dawn Wall free ascent. “But if anyone could do it, Adam would be the one.”
“I think it's possible to climb the Dawn Wall in a single day,” says Ondra. “No matter what, it would be really, really hard. I would have to invest so much more time into working out the route, and also training specifically to be able to climb at a top level for 24 hours.
“I am happy with what I have done right now,” he says, laughing while looking out at Yosemite Valley from the summit of the Dawn Wall, the sun setting behind a parting rain cloud. “But maybe in a couple of years I would start thinking about how to climb this route faster. Why not?”
