World’s Hardest Climb Explained

The world’s hardest route now has 3 different sequences to climb the crack section The First (and only) ascentionist Adam Ondra went left foot into the base of the crack, did a massive drop knee, reached around his own foot and moved into a layback position to turn right side up. This is 1 hard move, but the sequence and move is over quickly I jammed left foot into the base of the crack then continued feet first using thin foot jams. After a few moves I was able to spin right side up off a thin hand jam to then reach into better hand and finger locks. Easier moves if you’re able to jam, but they are technical and take much longer to execute. Stefano went right foot into the base of the crack, and used this to enable him to reach other hand holds to the side. possibly easier single moves than Adam’s drop knee, and less technical than my jamming, but maybe more powerful and pumpy to do at the end of the crux. All three methods seem to have their pro’s and con’s, but it’s interesting
