Adam Ondra - Illusionist 9a - Flatanger Norway (2013)

Step into the shadowy overhangs of Flatanger’s legendary cave as Adam Ondra takes on “Illusionist” (9a), a route he named for its baffling, trickster-style sequences. Filmed on Norway’s wild, wave-carved coast and shared by Bernartwood, this 2013 ascent captures Ondra in full problem-solving mode—reading subtle holds, testing impossible body positions, and committing to moves that seem to vanish the moment you try them. What makes this short film so satisfying is how clearly it shows the real work behind top-end sport climbing: the micro-adjustments, the resets, the patience, and then the sudden, decisive flow when everything clicks. The Flatanger setting adds its own drama—steep limestone, cave atmosphere, and the sense that you’re watching modern climbing right at its cutting edge. If you love powerful movement, clever beta, and the tension of a hard redpoint coming together, “Illusionist” delivers in just over twelve minutes.
