Další nacvičovaní do tmy v cestě Dawn Wall na El Capitana v Yosemitech má za sebou Adam Ondra. Před chvílí hlásil na Instagramu, že se mu podařilo pokročit v délce 14, i když ji ještě volně nedal.

Vylepšil si kroky a věří si, že ji při dalším pokusu ji dá.
"V posledním pokusu, už s prolezlou kůží a opravdu unaven, jsem uklouzl na prvním bouldru, ale pokračoval jsem přímo dál ke štandu. Docela si věřím, že příště by to mělo vyjít."

Adam to uvádí k fotce od svého spolulezce Pavla Blažka. Foto je z okamžiku krátce před setměním. V pozadí je fotograf Heinz Zak:

Great progress on pitch 14, but unfortunately no send. Took a lot of skin to finally figure out the mystery (3rd and last boulder of the pitch), but I finally have a satisfying beta at least. On my last go, with no skin and really tired, I slipped on the first boulder, but continued straight away to the anchor. I am quite confident that next time it should work out. And next time I think it will be on the push.

O půlnoci tamního času se vrátili zpět do tábora ve stěně, kam se před tím ze země vyšplhali za 3 hodiny (viz také níže):

It's midnight... We just got back to the BC and soon go for a well deserved sleep. . The image - title "The life of professional climber" comes to my mind considerind what time is right now and the effort Adam is putting into this thing. . @adam.ondra @blackdiamond #dawnwall #elcapitan #yosemite #liveclimbrepeat #blackdiamond

One hour and twenty minutes from ground to the base camp hauling 20 kg hauling bag. Bit a surprise for both of us - seems we might be getting a bit better. It took us about 3 hours to get up here at the beginning 😀 . Another night climbing sessions starts - this time Adam is going to work on the pitch #14 . Stay tuned and don't forget I need Adam to have 80 k followers by the end of November otherwise I'll loose the bet with him 😀 . @adam.ondra @blackdiamond #dawnwall #elcapitan #yosemite #liveclimbrepeat #blackdiamond
