Kingdom of Cracks | Green Spit 8b+ Trad | Adam Ondra

Crack climbing is quite rare in Europe ✌ Yosemite or Utah is the true crack climbers' paradise. On the other hand, there is a valley in Europe that is nicknamed the European Yosemite ☝, and that is Valle dell'Orco in Piedmont, Italy. I had never been before and I could not wait to finally see it. I had a local legend, Andrea Giorda, show us around, who was putting up some of the crack test pieces in the '70s and '80s. But the main goal of the trip was clear: Greenspit. Amazing, STEEP hand crack first ascended by Didier Berthod more than 2 decades ago. I had Marcello Bombardi to show me the beta and I really wanted to give it a good flash go ✊ ENGLISH SUBTITLES AVAILABLE IN THE VIDEO SETTINGS ČESKÉ TITULKY JSOU DOSTUPNÉ V NASTAVENÍ VIDEA❗ Timecodes: 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - Valle dell`Orco 02:00 - Andrea Giorda (local climbing legend) 03:00 - Fessura Kosterlitz 6B 05:00 - Sitting Bull 7a 07:00 - About Green Spit 8b+ 08:00 - @Pete_Whittaker (crack climbing legend) 12:30 - What is in my bag for the crack trad climbing day? 15:52 - Flash of the Green Spit 8b+ trad 21:50 - Adam talks about the ascent 23:04 - La Pura Pura 8c 25:22 - Outro Taste some snacks by @MIXITCZ ⏩ https://www.mixit.cz/adam-ondra Enjoy themed T-shirts with my signature on my AO e-shop ⏩ https://eshop.adamondra.com/ with some discounts and my AO Photo Book, posters, photographs, cool signed brushes, chalk bags and more.
