Adam Ondra Battles 5.13 Indian Creek Offwidth Belly Full of Bad Berries

“I set a goal of trying Belly Full of Bad Berries. It’s a monster offwidth, like 45-degrees overhanging…. I don’t think I’ve climbed any offwidth which would be more than vertical.”

The latest entry in the continuous stream of Adam Ondra videos  (which we are not complaining about) sees Ondra visit Indian Creek for some hard crack climbing. While the Czech super-crusher has been at the top of the climbing game for some time, his offwidth skills have always been a question mark. Would the wide crack reduce him to a sniveling shell of a man, like the style does to so many others? No, but we do get to see him struggle for a change.
