Well done. Congratulations. Anyone who has ever stood in front of the rock of AD first understands how impressive the performance of Wolfgang and all subsequent climbers is. 
Nice footage! I really enjoyed the commentary, especially parts when you discussed possible differences in beta. Love these more dynamic solutions. This style spices up this legendary route. And of course huge congratulations! It's definitely dream route.
I wonder if there will be ever someone to climb Action Directe the way Wolfgang did it, especially his weird sequence after the jump (tiny edge left, tiny edge right, back to good hold with the left hand, than superfar and direct upwards with the right hand - crazy!).
No big dealI. The rope wears out during long workouts like this one, with many falls on the first 1-2 meters of the rope. You just cut this section of the rope and move on, as far as the length of the rope is still enough for the route (i.e. more than double the route's length).
Great video and congratulations on the send! When I first stood under AD I was in awe. I really want to try it one day, just to feel the holds for myself.
The tape is not there to fix the rope. You wrap the rope in tape where you plan to cut it, removing the damaged last few meters of rope. The tape helps prevent fraying/unraveling. You can see later in the video that there is a bit of tape around the last cm of the rope. Of course it is very important to remember you cut it and the rope is now shorter.
@@EvanvanLaar Could be true I guess but I wonder why you'd include it in the video since it adds nothing to the story and there was no further explanation.
In the upper section (see 5:49) it seems like there was not enough slack. At this time the rope seems to break your swing out. This should not happen. I hope this was not on your actual ascent otherwise it would not be valid in my opinion.
@@anamorph I think that from video, especially from this angle, you cannot tell for sure. I know Vojta personally and I am 100% sure he would say the climb is not valid if it helped him. So it didn't, that's just your incorrect opinion.

Pogo kick on AD, that is proper new school. Something Wolfgang probably wouldn't have thought of.

cool to hear a unique beta and details of the legendary route
1:55 they continued to use that rope ? Seems insane to me
Yolo swaggers

Cool video. Great to see somebody I've not seen before offering a new perspective on an iconic route.

So much style!
Wow this route is probably the COOLEST route in the world!! If im ever going to try a 9a its gonna be this one for sure!
freaking strong
Doom music probably helped him with the send.
We're they putting climbing tape on a coreshot rope?
I am pretty sure they put the tape on and then they cut it. Tape was to prevent the "new" end of the rope from being too fluffy.
Who tapes up a rope lmao 1:56
So sketch

@@peterkapunkt6783 if I fell in the same spot enough to wear through the mantle the least I'd do is take a picture
tape then cut
Not clipping the last quickdraw seems insane. When he falls, that would perhaps be a grounder.
How to establish connections with your team? We hope to collaborate with your team.

rope drag?
@@skyex5047 yes, but it clearly helps the climber.
He probably knows himself that it did not help him, don't you think? 😊
@@MLURD that's not the point. Strictly, it invalidates the ascent.

Careful with these videos. Could ne dangerous with jail
