Adam Ondra Chilam Balam 9b

In this short film from MENDOZA CLIMB, Adam Ondra takes on Chilam Balam, one of Spain’s most storied testpieces at the 9b grade. With the camera tight on the wall and the effort written across every move, you’re dropped into the rhythm of a world-class climber trying to solve an outrageously hard line—sequence by sequence, attempt by attempt. What makes it worth watching is the pure, unfiltered feel of cutting-edge sport climbing: precision footwork on marginal holds, explosive power followed by calm control, and the mental reset required when everything is at your limit. Whether you’re curious about what 9b climbing actually looks like or you just want a dose of inspiration, this is a fast, focused hit of commitment, movement, and modern history on steep limestone.
