Adam Ondra onsighting Mind Control (8c+) at Oliana, Spain
Bernardo Gimenez
If by any chance you want to save the route for the on-sight, don't watch this video. Otherwise we recommend you sit back for 12 minutes, grab some popcorn and enjoy the film shot by Spanish photographer Bernardo Gimenez who documented Adam Ondra's on-sight of Mind Control 8c+ at Oliana.
The ascent dates back to 20 March during a blazing fortnight which saw the 18-year-old from the Czech Republic culminate his trip with the first free ascent of a 9b and another 8c+ on-sight on the very same day at this Spanish crag.
The secret to his success? Adam attempts to explain his on-sight approach "I just try to climb as efficiently as possible, in just the same way as if I was redpointing, doing no mistakes, making quick decisions. And if you're lucky enough, and your decisions are right, then it's almost the same as redpointing, no?!"
