Adam Ondra on a short visit to Charmey - Switzerland

Adam Ondra stopped in Charmey a few days ago and climbs the route meiosis.

meiosis was first received by Pirmin Bertle and rated 9b. Adam Ondra needed only three attempts to get through and scored the route on 9a +. In the video, Adam shows the Knieklemmer, which he calls enormously important, in order to be able to shake well again before the endurance section at the end of the route.
