I'm calling him Adam Ondracles.
"Extraordinary." The favorite all-time expression of Brit TV speakers and correspondents.
Compare to the American usage of "awesome."
"Ondracles' feat is extraordinarily awesome."

Since they can't climb our routes the way we put them up in our generation, it won't be long before this nanny state, entitlement generation recreates the run out routes virtually on a video game.......and they'll sit around on their asses and 'fire' those routes pushing buttons and playing with their joysticks.
They'll meet in the coffee house the next morning, give each other high fives, and boast...."Dude....I fired the B-Y last night.....no falls.....it was SICK!!!"
Pussies.

Yes, Jim....I got that.
What I am saying is, his generation WILL save the world....but HE is just climbing a rock. Don't sell his generation short.....they are the hope for our future. And there are some REALLY impressive members of his gen out there!!!!!!

I was hoping he would accomplish this task, but gotta admit I didn't think he'd get it this trip. Badass.

Sorry, hamie - the lead article in the sports section of Aftenposten is about Magnus Carlsen. Important stuff. Nothing about Ondra so far.
After all, Carlsen is the world champion in chess, and the highest-ranked ever player.

Climbing is playing chess, with the mind strategizing the body against the rock as the opponent. Certainly so at Pinnacles, where the rock can make it's own moves.

Thanks MH. There's some stuff on UKC News, one of their climbing sites. Should be more reaction now that he has finished.

Yes, of course this is being reported and followed in Europe, its the 21st century. The reactions I've been seeing (UKB primarily) are ones of sheer stoke. People are obviously impressed by his abilities but I think he's loved for his obvious total love for climbing in every form. National rivalries etc. really don't enter into any of this so far as anyone is concerned.
