In 2018, Adam Ondra toured America and visited a number of famous areas, including Smith Rock. In the video below, Ondra works on a burly longstanding project, but can’t piece it together.

During his visit, he onsighted Just Do It 5.14c, one of America’s most iconic sport climbs. The route is a stamina test up the East Face of Monkey Face, envisioned and bolted back in 1989 by Alan Watts and freed in April 1992 by an on fire Jean-Baptiste Tribout who had travelled specifically from France to establish the hardest route in the country and, at the time, one of the most difficult sport climbs in the world.
