This is the Czech climber, Adam Ondra, free-climbing El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park.
Insane!
Ondra is a professional rock climber. Never knew that was a career option, in high school.
He specializes in lead climbing and bouldering.
A 2013 issue of Rock & Ice magazine called him a prodigy; the leading climber of his generation.
The German magazine of fallen climbers, Der Splat!, called him their most promising new member of 2023, in the latest grim reaper board.
@Visitkarte hence the irony…
@theclevertwit I think this “sport” shouldn’t be promoted. Too many of these athletes died unnecessairily.
