Adam Ondra's life has changed somewhat in the past 4 years. A child, marriage and hitting the big 30. There’s a new Adam Ondra in town, one who has found the right balance between family life and his sporting commitment. In this new chapter, Ondra continues to push his limits, but with a more mindful approach. In the latest episode of La Sportiva Living Legends, we travel to the Czech Republic to spend two days with Ondra and his new life, to explore this change, inside and outside the climbing walls.
