      No, you only need one Adam Ondra to free solo it and when he's at the top, everyone else can just ascend the rope. Only problem is you need good weather conditions and do all of this without guards noticing.

    • @andypughtube
      @andypughtube 4 роки тому +5

      @@panda4247 I think those holes are where the wooden staging that was used to build the walls was placed. They would probably have been filled in while the castle was castling. If you look carefully you can see them in all brick and stone castles, though often they were built up solid as the staging was taken down again. We found them in my parents house (built in stone in the 14th century) while we were re-plastering, so it isn't just castles.

    • @panda4247
      @panda4247 4 роки тому

      @@andypughtube fair point. Although I would expect those holes to be on the inner side of the castle wall. Or if they were on the outside during the build, then they should have filled them when disassembling the wooden stricture.
      Hmmm looking at the hole at 3:58 , it looks like it's not a long narrow hole for one wooden beam, but that there is actually some larger hollow space behind it. But maybe the looks are deceptive.

    • @andypughtube
      @andypughtube 4 роки тому +1

      @@panda4247 The staging beams would run all the way through the wall, with a platform on both the inside and the outside (you can't reach over to the back side of a castle wall, it is probably 3 or more metres thick). The inside of the wall probably isn't solid brick in courses, it is more likely random brick pieces or rubble fill. Whatever processes have opened the holes up over the centuries have probably eroded the inner fill too.
