Ondra vs. Ghisolfi in Silence (9c): The beta comparison

Emil Abrahamsson has created an exciting comparison video showing Adam Ondra and Stefano Ghisolfi on the world's most difficult route. The Swedish climber has divided the 9c route Silence into individual sections and compares the beta of the two climbing greats Ondra and Ghisolfi.

Silence (9c) is not only the most difficult route in the world, it is also known for requiring unconventional movements - Adam Ondra's knee twister says hello. With Stefano Ghisolfi a world-class athlete is currently projecting the line. His climbing style couldn't be more different than that of the first ascent Adam Ondra. Emil Abrahamson sums it up quite aptly in his beta comparison: "Stefano is a static monster, Ondra is a dynamic beast." Convince yourself.
