Awesome! Best of luck to him.
I hope the Nose, Salathe, and Dawn stand proud, impress the hell out of him, and give him his monies worth.
I expect that they will. Gawdamn n00b. Hahahaa!!
Go get 'em Ondra!

He hasn't been to Yosemite? I thought I had seen a photo of him on Boa roof from an old BD catalog.

Long time ago (~15 years ago) my friend who likes some cruel jokes approached young , but already renown Sharma who was standing in El Cap Meadow looking up at the Nose . Pretending that he does not know who he is he asked Chris " Do you know and can recommend any good safe 5.6-5.7 routes here?" Poor Sharma honestly was looking for the answer, but can not - and feel embarrassed and blushed. If someone happen to meet Ondra in the Valley - please try to embarrass him with same question.
My czech friend is excited by Ondra visit and guessing how he will do on Dawn wall

A friend of some Valley note once told me, "it doesn't matter who they are, everyone gets their ass handed to them in the Valley sooner or later, it's only a matter of when"

It will be fascinating to watch what he does in the Valley. Quite an amazing list of what he wants to do!

Excepting the Nose, both the Salathe and Dawn (moreso) feature a fair amount of classic Yoz wide, and the Dawn in particular has some wicked hard thin cracks and flares (up high), as well as entire pitches protected by beaks. I trust Ondra knows all about that and will adjust but somewhere in there he'll be crying Uncle because we all do, no matter how strong the fingers.
I hope he crushes - those routes deserve more traffic and Ondra sounds like a great champion and real dood.

Yeah, of course it's just a matter of learning new styles, but that might take a little while. Has he really done any crack climbing? Every photo I've seen of him is on steep/overhanging face, and, as Largo implies, bolted. If that's the case, don't expect him to crush the big routes on his first visit. I can climb 10a face all day long. 10a squeeze chimneys? Fugetaboutit. Once he gets his crack chops down, however, stand back suckas.

He's wearing hand jammie's hehehe...
I suspect he'll do some hard sh#t but not tick his initial goal list in the style he want to.
