Adam Ondra #61: Memories Of Chile / La Sensación del Bloque 9a

Adam Ondra #61: Memories Of Chile / La Sensación del Bloque 9a drops you into the sunlit granite of Valle de los Cóndores as Adam revisits a late-2018 trip to Chile, chasing one of sport climbing’s benchmark tests: La Sensación del Bloque (9a), first climbed by Alex Megos. With Adam’s trademark calm commentary and a road-to-Tokyo mindset, it’s a compact travel diary and training snapshot rolled into a single motivated session. What makes this episode sing is the mix of scenery, stakes, and process: you get the quiet build-up, the micro-decisions, and the honest feel of trying to “flash” something that hard—where every move counts and every breath matters. It’s a quick hit of lockdown-era inspiration that still feels timeless, pairing world-class ambition with the simple joy of being on rock in a beautiful place.
