Adam Ondra did the pitches 16, 17 and four others up to the Wine Tower at the Dawn Wall on El Capitan in Yosemite on Saturday, the 6th day of free single push ascent of the world hardest big wall route. There are only 11 easier pitches to finish the multi pitch route.

Adam says it in the video taken by his belayer Pavel Blažek who forwarded it to CzechClimbing.com / Lezec.cz for publishing:




He would have continued, but looked like it would rain soon. Which means forced restday on Sunday and hopefully finishing it off on Monday, Adam writes on Instagram :

Made it to the Wino tower tonight! Deep satisfaction, peace and fire at the same time in my heart and soul. Perfect conditions today and perfect focus. That means only 11 "easy" (5.10 - 5.12) pitches left. We would have continued, but looks like it will rain soon. Which means forced restday tomorrow and hopefully finishing it off on Monday. Detailed report on @blackdiamond and @mytendon soon. Photo @pavelblazek #montura @gardatrentino @lasportivagram #elcapitan #Dawnwall #yosemite
