Adam Ondra Onsights Existence Mundane 5.14b in Canmore

Adam Ondra is in Canmore for the summer and has already onsighted two of the area’s classic hard routes. Ondra onsighted Endless Summer 5.13d and bagged the first onsight of Existence Mundane 5.14b this week.

The two steep and technical climbs are up at Acephale and have been the focus of many climber’s summer projects. Existence Mundane is an eight-bolt 20-metre test-piece which took visiting climber Alex Megos two tries. Local climber Sam Tucker recently ticked the steep climb.

Ondra is in Canmore for a few months and will be presenting at the Bow Valley Rock Fest in August, an event that sold out in a few hours. There are two 5.15 climbs in the Bow Valley, Fight Club 5.15b and Honour and Glory 5.15 (awaiting confirmation), which Ondra will surely get on sooner than later.

When Megos was in Canada, he had a number of close calls with grizzly bears, it seems so face Ondra has luckily only run into a few tiny critters.
