i was so waiting for that! she's totally banging! 21 i think. i guess 100% of the good looking genes went to her and he got 99.98% of the climbing ability.

yes, i read the text and and his father's climbing ability has been long documented (outside the world of RC.com). .02% of Adam's talent does indeed translate to his smoking hot sister to be able to climb 8b+.

??? Not sure what that means(.02% of his talent). If you'd care to explain, great, but as it stands, I get the impression you are somehow attempting a disparaging remark about that woman. Seems a little strange....

no, as in out of the 100% possible of all inherited climbing genes, his ability to climb 5.15b(c?d?) would translate to 99.98% of all genes available, whereas all you need is .02% from that gene pool to climb 14a. i get the impression you're trying to make something out of nothing. seems a little typical...

funk, it just seems weird that you refuse to admit that his sister is in fact a world class climber. There are not many women climbing 5.14 right now, even though the number has jumped substantially in 2011. BTW, do you even know how many men are climbing 5.15? Goofy Ondra compared to his peers is not all that different than Hot Ondra compared to hers.

Wow, you're right. Not what I would expect from a genepool that produced a kid who lookes like a cross between Tweety Bird, Steve Guttenberg, and a No. 2 pencil.

If this were true, they would be a lot more people climbing 5.14 today. When was the last time you climb a 5.14. She's strong and attractive too. A good combination if one is to look for future sponsorship. Dad climbs strong too hey. 5.14 at 46, maybe I can too.

I think hard-climbing siblings aren't all that rare. Didn't Bernd Zangerl's sister crush some hard boulder problems a few years ago?

I'm almost positive that in the movie "momento" they make reference to the fact that they are NOT siblings. i may have read it somewhere online just the same. either way, crushers.

Seems like hard climbing siblings is more of a Euro thing. The Hubers, the Pous, the Nicoles, now the Ondras. I can't think of too many American sibling duos that are crushing at elite levels, though there are the Lowes, Steve and Rex Hong, the Ruckmans, and more recently Adam and John Stack in the early 2000s. And the young up & comers: Eric Hörst's two kids are both crushing 12+/13- while under 12, as well as the Raboutou kids. Oh yeah, and the Anderson twins, how could I forget them?
