There is the detailed topo of the Dawn Wall 5.14d, that we linked on the beginning of the Adam`s practicing:
Dawn Wall was done in 1970 by American mountaineer Warren Harding with help of aid climbing for 28 days. Last year in January there were Americans Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson, who first time free climbed it. It took them 19 days after a several years of practicing of the route.
Their climb was massively covered by mainstream media and after that the American president Barack Obama congratulated to Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson on Twitter:
Today morning Adam Ondra said with laugh to Czech Television interview that no president has congratulated him yet.
Adam plans to have a rest and than go home, and prepare for winter season on rocks in Spain. He thinks he will try to climb the Dawn Wall sometimes in future in 24 hours, that is his dream, and he thinks it is possible, but he would try it probably after several years.
