      Adam uses straight arms more and looks more relaxed. Alex uses bent arms and looks stronger possibly but like he's also working harder. What are their weights? And, of course, Adam's got way more reach.

I think it's safe to assume that adam ondra knows better than anyone here and wasn't going to waste energy on unnecessary moves mid competition. He did what he did because it was the best option for him at that time.

    Great video. I disagree with many other commenters that they are very similar. Seeing them side by side like that I find Ondra to climb with much better efficiency, finding the ideal body positions quicker and looking less strained through the moves overall compared to Megos. There are moments when you see Alex really tensing up, shrugging his shoulders, clenching down and Ondra on the same moves looks almost relaxed.

      At easier routs we climbed very similar. But when it came to the crux of the highest difficulty we did we often found completely different solution for the same problem.

    On a personal note, I just prefer watching Ondra climb rather than Megos, and this video I think shows why. Ondra's style I find is more elegant and refined, even if in the smallest of ways. Not that it changes the fact they are both world class climbers, and can't wait to see if Megos will be able to set a 9c+ route soon to equal Ondra. Excited to see where these guys take climbing in the next few years (they have already achieved so much...)

    I’ve only watched it once through, and was mostly watching Adam bcs I’m a taller climber, but Adam’s technique seemed to be the tiny difference going into the head wall on the last comp. He was able to use his legs more and put his body in slightly better position to take a little pressure off the arms. Great video, I expected more differences between the two given their different sizes and strengths.
