    You know someone is a strong climber when they roll up with the Ikea rope bag

      I'm not a crusher anymore (that was 30-40 years ago!) but I still use an Ikea rope bag. :-)

      Funny you say that, actually he uses A LOT of filler words and overall speaks like a local dude from a pub after a few beers.

    Tomajda's monologue about almost having "pity" for Adam's chase for a worthy opponent in rocks around the world was beautiful. "A slave to his skill."
    Incredible climbing, breathtaking scenery, top-notch video production... Thanks Adam and team

    @Itstoearly 2 ปีที่แล้ว +267

    I'm so used to seeing Adam climb with such confidence in what the next move is... to see him stop and feel around and think in the moment of what the next move is, like I do every time I climb.... really made a deep connection with me. Thank you, Adam.

      @instinctroller 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      This was exactly the same for me. Watching Adam search for a hold was so interesting, because it's so similar to my own experience when I climb. So cool to watch!

      Nice comment. Being a superhuman he goes into that mode on a 8b 4 meters above the last bolt lol

    I love these productions from the AO team. They're basically mini climbing movies. 🙌

  • @jonaslonartz7188
    @jonaslonartz7188 2 ปีที่แล้ว +54

    I love, that in climbing you have the local legends like Tomajda, the local crushers, who know their home crack like they know their back pocket. People you have never heard of, just doing what they love, with passion, ethics and skill.

  • @jonnenne
    @jonnenne 2 ปีที่แล้ว +211

    Tomas seems like a top bloke! Thanks for introducing these unknown legends to the world

    Almost crying here, this sandstone is part pf my youth, ob both sides of the borders. The first shot of the Elbe valley took my breath away, I miss it so much. Thank you!

    I just love the camera work at 5:53. This shot could be a picture. Just two psyched dudes watching rock.

    Wasn't expecting to get much more from this video aside from Adam being a beast on the wall, but this was a really beautiful and touching short story. Tomajda's words were beautiful, I would love to see more stuff from him and Adam in the future.

    Turn on captions, theres some beautiful commentary from his friend

      I thought his thoughts about competing with yourself after 6:30 were incredible.

    grabbing those slopers above that runout looks absolutely horrifying. also lol at “maybe it should be safe but… “ at the end of the video. incredible looking climb.

    • @SwainixFPV
      @SwainixFPV 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      also "you should climb from the last bolt all the way to the summit" at 5:37 and proceeds to let go and fall on his friend (idk the name of the person securing you from under in english) lol

    Amazing cinematography, amazing climbing, amazing people, big props to Tomajda for the great exposition. These videos where the local legends are given enough space are my favourite. Great job!

  • @davidpleydell3522
    @davidpleydell3522 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Ooooo that was great!!! Adam was pretty poetic there at the end... so so good to see a master of modern difficulty being an ambassador for the traditional ethics of a very special climbing area. Love it!!!

    Very good making off and video quality. I preciated it so hard! Thank you!

  • @yumcaxion9993
    @yumcaxion9993 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Watching your content, it always seems as though you're exploring the boundaries of climbing as opposed to being "trapped" chasing the hardest routes, because you seem to approach everything with this mixture of supreme confidence and humility that is truly unique to your incredible ability and love for the sport. It seems important and relevant to push the limits of the sport when you are capable of doing so and you clearly enjoy doing it. It's certainly surreal watching you climb with such mastery over everything but I never get the vibe that it's born of anything but passion and the intense focus required to do it at that level. I'm an older, washed-up former mid-5.14 climber and what you do and the way you're able to communicate your passion for it inspires me even though I don't climb much anymore. It reminds me of why I still love climbing despite it not being as big a part of my life as it used to be.

    So good! I used to watch climbing videos all the time, but began to lose interest as I got older. I feel like these videos really capture the essence of why I love to climb. I really appreciate the artistic beauty and storytelling.

    @CollinGill7 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Mellow may be my “favorite” climbing channel, but I can confidently say I think this channel is the “best” in terms of production quality, location, information shared, and not to mention Adam is literally the best sport climber in the world

    • @mihkelhint
      @mihkelhint 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      This crew that Adam has found really stepped up the game of climbing youtube content quality. And actually Stefano has found some people recently who've matched that. In case you missed it, he had a recent series where he worked on Silence and the quality of just how well the climbing itself was filmed was really next level and above anything I had ever seen, even compared to AO stuff.

    It is enjoyable to see how much fun they are having. Curious to be in this adventure. Joy is the spice of life, positive, movement shared perhaps the oasis that climbing can be! Alex Lowe is quoted as saying “ the best climber is the one having the most fun”. Ondra seems to embody this mindset. Such a joy to see. Beautiful.

    Thanks for taking me with you on this climb. Adventure is the only fitting description. I loved the thoughts mixed in. Really it is true I guess even for top notch climbers there is the same excitement of the unknown as it is for the beginner fighting up a UIAA V.

    best Ondra-Vid since a long time. And Elb-Valley is the best climbing area in the world, no doubt about it. Some professional climnbers try to copy those Ondra-vids, but the quality is different. It's not only documentary, but art-cinema
