Watch Adam Ondra Climb New 5.15a in Bosnia on Road Trip

From establishing a beautiful 5.15a in Bosnia during the Drill and Chill festival to a first go attempt at Croatia’s formidable 5.14b multi-pitch Spomin, Adam Ondra’s recent road trip through the Balkans of Southeastern Europe was, by all accounts, historic.

Leaving a trail of hard first ascents and futuristic projects in his wake, Ondra not only developed new routes in each country but also forged lasting friendships with a global community, a community forever connected by one thing: passion for climbing.

Last autumn I spent a lot of time in Balkan countries. They are not very well known for climbing destinations, yet it does not mean that climbing is bad. It is just fantastic and I am glad this film really captures not only fantastic climbing but vibes in general in these countries. Every country is different, yet in every country, I felt so good and welcome. Balkan Notes take you to Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia and Albania. Who likes numbers, you can watch FA of two 9a+/b's, as well as onsight of multipitch 8c. Thanks, @blackdiamond and all others who made this happen. I am really happy with the result.
