If you haven't heard the news, EpicTV athlete Adam Ondra is in Yosemite Valley working the harder pitches on Tommy Caldwall and Kevin Jorgeson's massively blank 'Dawn Wall' for an eventual ground up attempt.

We dropped Adam a line to see how he's progressing:

"We are here in the Valley to climb some routes on El Cap and to film with Heinz Zak along the way. The obvious goal is of course Dawn Wall, where I already spent two days."

Filming started already with #Heinzzak for the movie that is gonna feature our effort up on El Cap. All the huge cams seems pull me out of the offwidth. Interestingly, they all turned out to be completely useless since they were too small for this offwidth. Photo by @pavelblazek @blackdiamond #Montura @mytendon

- Adam practices his offwidth skills

"I decided to go in a good style and go ground up, which is a pretty big adventure due to the bold character of the route and lack of trad climbing skills, but so far so good."
