      I don't have to imagine it. I was there in 1980, 2 years after Ron Kauk made the first ever ascent of midnight lightening. I couldn't even get 2 moves off the ground. A dude casually showed up and climbed it, tearing off a fingernail in the process, then he walked away as casually as he arrived. The most difficult move is said to be the spider monkey swing which in this video is made to look effortless.

      @@pilot.wav_theory it’s the title of a book by Ryan Holiday where he breaks down all the virtues of embracing the challenges in front of us and learning to appreciate the struggle of facing adversity by focusing on the positive changes that each challenge is forging in us. I think there is an old story behind the phrase that Holiday pulled inspiration from and he talks about it in the book.
      It’s definitely a fantastic book to keep in your creative space for periodic reminders about the hidden value in the things in our life that sometimes get us down.

      Flagging: using your leg to prevent you from swinging off the boulder by just bracing against it.
      Stepping through: right foot is holding himself up, he moved his left leg between his right leg and the boulder to flag.
      Side pull: a crack, ledge, or other hand hold that is sideways instead of horizontal. You have to tilt your body back a little to pull against it sideways to not fall off.

    • @AveSicarius
      @AveSicarius 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Also Adam is pretty tall for a professional climber, he's like 6'1 with one legs. Mantling is much more difficult for taller people, as you have more leg/arm to get over the lip resulting in a longer lever.
      Basically he can walk through most of the climb because of his reach, but getting over the top is hard! If you have a smaller climber like Alex Megos, he'd probably be over the lip far quicker.

    How many people on earth could flash this boulder? A hundred? Maybe?

    Arrived to the top, fine but... then, one should climb... down ! as one's eyes are not on their foot, i actually don't know how to come down to the floor without any rope... Crazy and unsane... CONGRATULATIONS ADAM !!!

    @artbyrobot1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I feel like this is super dangerous climbing something THAT HIGH with no ropes. I know it is called bouldering but this is more like a mini mountain! A groundfall could be tragic from near the top...

      Truth is you could die falling from this height as well but Alex Honnold has free soloed 3000ft :o

      @@finnthefrog4354 I hope so ! But not showing there was protection in the video is in itself irresponsible, this is the first Adam video that i am disappointed about. His integrity and responsibility is what i look up to.

      He wouldn't die but you can definitely break something, I knew someone who broke their arm falling on it from a height doing bouldering.
