Second ascent. With Pavel Blažek.

A hugely impressive effort over 8 days, especially given Adam's relative lack of big wall experience at the time.

Third ascent. With Soline Kentzel.

Several times over these 14 days, for different reasons, the adventure almost came to an end, and the final hours were so painful that I sincerely believe I came face-to-face with my physical and mental limits for the first time in my life. It was so close 😅

I climbed my very best in those last days, and I fought hard. At the end of this journey on the Dawn Wall: a dream, an incredible achievement, and a major milestone in my climbing life, of which I am more than happy and proud! [1]
