@@LiamKaplan Nah, the whiteboys are so good, Pete just skips getting his feet up. He just floats them into the crack. (Not hating on the WB, they're amazing climbers, just calling the notion ridiculous that he did the crux...)
Seeing Stefano struggle with this really puts into perspective how difficult the route is, something which was hard to see just by looking at Adam Ondra's final attempts and send of the route.
I think what’s really cool about this is seeing how the best climbers in the world believe in themselves. I think if a lot of us got on a hard route and struggled this much we’d give up and say it’s out of our pay grade.
You're right, but that doesn't necesseraly means that we are wrong to do this. We don't have the same amount of time to dedicate to climbing as amateurs (at least, most of us).Stefano Ghisolfi seems to be planning staying there for a whole month. That's maybe 20 or 25 days of climbing, an amount of session i usually do in about 4 to 6 months. And he's not planning to send ! Giving up on a hard route that you feel could take you 20 or 30 sessions to do in order to go on easier ones that you'll send in 10 sessions or less is generaly better for long term improvement.
@@Ptitviaud1337 I completely agree. I think it’s just a nice thing to keep in mind the next time we get on a hard route, that the pros flail on their projects too. It’s rare to see the first steps of projecting for a pro.
So excited to see your process!! thank you for sharing it with all of us!! It's not often we see the first steps of projects. I think there's a pressure sometimes with TH-cam/films to have this one little story that ends in a perfect send, but this is rarely what happens when we take on difficult challenges. It's extremely refreshing to see, and I can't wait to follow along 💞
My motto is: "if it doesn't feel impossible at first, it's not a project." You just need to find the least amout of impossible! Incredible that for you it's the hardest route in the world. Grande Ste, ti seguiamo sempre!
Super excited to watch someone else work through Silence. I really admire the mindset Stefano is coming to this project with, I get the sense I'm going to learn a lot about the mental aspect of projecting from this series. Excited to see more!
"Iam giving up my flash attempt" .. "First i look for an alternative, then ill try the easier way" (from Adam)... Stefano you are truely the funniest pro climber i know :D
So hyped for this. And actually nice to see how you actually work on a route like this. The idea of working on something where you start with this little success and things to go off of gives a new perspective on what it takes and projecting in general!
Really nice insight into what mindset and training it takes to climb Silence 9c, honestly. Seeing a climber that has multiple 9b+'s on the counter try something move by move and having some struggles is humbling, I'll try to incorporate that mindset for when I'm struggling on my routes.
Alé Ste! Bellissimo poter seguire un progetto fin dai primi passi in parete. E sappiamo che ce l'hai! Come on Ste! It's so beautiful to follow your Silence project since the first steps. E we know you can do it!
The way you are documenting this is perfect!!!! This series of videos might become some of the best climbing content period. Discussing betas, the thought process, attempts... Very good Looking forward to Thursdays now :)
I do like it when a climber is happy to show just how hard a route is. This is demonstrated by the comment "I am destroyed". Just awesome and didn't look like there is an easy move anywhere on the climb.
I love your perspective and your light heartedness. Its really nice to see you trying this thing and I really appreciate how peaceful you are with the process. Inspiring.
Watching your patience and slow but steady plan even on day one is really inspiring and speaks much to your success. So keen to see a second send whenever it happens!!!
Grandissimo Stefano ! Vedere le tue avventure qui è fantastico, anche per chi come me non scala più, vedervi insieme (tu è Sara) percorrere lìEuropa alla ricerca di linee fantastiche da salire è bellissimo vi auguro infinita felicià e un grande successo nella vita come su You tube. PS : ogni tanto fai scalare anche Sara ! ....
Thank you for that video. It's really cool to watch how you attempt this route. I think you have the perfect mindset for this. I wish you a good time in Norway!
So cool to see Silence from these new perspectives and angles and with sb else on it than Adam! Such an iconic route, now when I rewatch Adam's send I can appreciate the crux sequences even more. Coool and great job Stefano! keep pushing!"
I feel 100% confident that Silence will never be downgraded. It _might_ be upgraded though, in another 5 or 10 years when a few more top climbers have actually done it...
Lol at the very ending.....hang around for it, folks :) Forget the new Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones series - this is the one to watch! Very best of luck, Sir.
Nice Stefano, look forward to watching the progress and seeing what you settle on for the crux...hoping the toe jam of course :D
Good luck with it all

Stefano, have you seen Pete's jamming beta of the crux on the wideboys channel?

"If it was easy, i wouldn't be here."
I love that guy.
Grande boooossssss! Super psyched for this Stefano. Con i tuoi avambracci d’acciaio it will be as easy as walking up a ladder!
Who knew Emil had secret Italian speaking skills
Ahah thanks!

"I'm giving up on my flash attempt" hahaha
kind of disappointed, not gonna lie
Production quality is amazing.. send or no send this could be one of the greatest climbing series of all time!
It's kind of trippy seeing someone else climbing on Silence after 5 years of only seeing Ondra on it.
aaand Pete Whittaker...
@Trackpad:
He climbed the complete crux via jamming it, not as Adam did it! 🙂
@@9freesolo not the whole crux, he did a couple moves haha
@@LiamKaplan Nah, the whiteboys are so good, Pete just skips getting his feet up. He just floats them into the crack. (Not hating on the WB, they're amazing climbers, just calling the notion ridiculous that he did the crux...)
@@9freesolo Pete skipped most of the crux. The hardest moves are right before the crack as well as getting the feet up.
Seeing Stefano struggle with this really puts into perspective how difficult the route is, something which was hard to see just by looking at Adam Ondra's final attempts and send of the route.

This is the route of gods in the climbing world, the paragon! You go man! Wish you all luck!

THANK YOU Stefano for sharing the backstage hard work of such a project! Your amazing talent with such simplicity and honesty are very inspiring

Come on Ste! It's so beautiful to follow your Silence project since the first steps. E we know you can do it!
“…and somehow I go to there…” so relatable route reading stuff you can’t do yet. Thanks for keeping it real
Finally!!!! Super excited for this one! Good luck!
Thanks for documenting your problem solving process. Really valuable

So interesting to see the process and your approach to these hard routes. Thanks for the insight
can't wait to see more. this is so great because it shows how crazy hard this climb really is.
what an incredibly hard route! that puts a lot in perspective... Adam's first ascent was epic! Go get it, Stefano!
You’ve been my favorite climber for so long and I’ve been waiting for this video for SO LONG
Dude this is so hype!!! Amazing route by Adam throwing the gauntlet :D good luck, you're a beast.
I love your perspective and your light heartedness. Its really nice to see you trying this thing and I really appreciate how peaceful you are with the process. Inspiring.
What a badass! LOVED this video, with the gradual progress! Felt like we were there with you! Grazie! Venga!
Finally someone's brave enough.
Stefanos (already one of the greatest climbers of all time) struggles put into perspective the absolute wizadry of Ondra, the guy is a climbing genius
Grande Stefano! Thank you for showing us this journey. We're all cheering from afar.
Damn its so awesome to see such high quality footage of you trying Silence!
Watching your patience and slow but steady plan even on day one is really inspiring and speaks much to your success. So keen to see a second send whenever it happens!!!
love seeing your slow and curious approach, testing out the different betas!! very insightful.
I have not seen your videos for a year. Your english got so much better!
Finally somebody is giving it a try and not just leave it out of fear.

Absolutely awesome! I love how humble but focused you approach this, looking forward to seeing the progress
I feel 100% confident that Silence will never be downgraded. It _might_ be upgraded though, in another 5 or 10 years when a few more top climbers have actually done it...
i truly hope stefano can make it work and send silence next year. Praying for you stefano!
Che cosa bella. Grande ste. Davvero.

This is amazing! Thank you for the video!!!
Gooooooooo Stefano!
Amazing stuff, love that your journey is being documented.
Incredible how hard that climb is!
One so the best climbers in the world, getting destroyed.
Silence wasn’t climbed in a day….
"if it was easy, I wouldn't be here" very true
"I'm giving up the flash" haha- too bad, that would have been badassiest!
Lol at the very ending.....hang around for it, folks :)
Forget the new Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones series - this is the one to watch!
Very best of luck, Sir.
The Ghisoverse is coming...
Top job from the Film crew! Love the bonus clip at the end for the 2001 a space odyssey 😆 And good luck Stefano! Support from Chinese fans!🇨🇳
Much success👍
"pretty smart, Adam" is an understatement
Keep up Stefano, you are inspiring!
IT. BEGINS.
Wow. The fact that your goal for the first week is simply to do each individual move shows how insanely hard this climb is.
I'm excited for this!!
