CIA - Interrogation of Adam Ondra

Make sure you're sitting comfortable, because this interrogation isn't short. Something to drink perhaps?We discuss a lot of things. Diving deep into the subtleties of Exodia of course, about where Adam is today, what motivates him, where he can push the limits even further...Grades, training, how climbing has changed and why? Where are we heading?World Championships in Brno, his home town - is it ten years too late?What about Los Angeles 2028?This and much more.We hope you enjoy it, because we certainly did!
By and with Björn Pohl & Vladek Zumr, the Climbing Intelligence Agency
