Adam Ondra Talks Free-Soloing, Fear and Trad

One of the world’s best and most accomplished rock climbers discusses free-soloing and dangerous trad climbing in a recently released video from the Struggle Climbing Show.

Ondra has been one of the world’s best rock climbers for the past 15 years, with multiple groundbreaking first ascents and repeats to his name. At 13, he redpointed his first 5.14d and in 2017 he climbed the world’s first 5.15d with Silence. He’s climbed the most 5.15 routes of any climber.

Over the past decade, he’s repeated some of the world’s most difficult trad routes, including Dawn Wall 5.14d on El Capitan and Bon Voyage 5.14d in France.
