He was able to do it because he climbs a lot outdoors. Jamming is one of basic outdoor climbing skils and he is good at it as a great outdoor climber. He knew he will do it from the moment he saw it. Others spend too little time climbing outdoors
Just climbing outdoors doesn't mean you know how to jam. Not everyone crack climbs, so if all you do outside is boulder or sport climb, it's common to still not know how to jam.
@@miriamshv Nah, I bet there are people that climb V15 that don't know how to jam. You can't say those people aren't really good. Maybe not well rounded, but that's different.
Hand jams are better than jugs if the crack is the right size and you know what you’re doing.. the problem is comp climbers pull on plastic too often It’s near impossible to find a crag without a crack at it
Minor correction: you said hand jamming and then described a bunch of crack-climbing techniques. Hand jamming is one particular climbing technique that involves placing a hand into a crack. Using your arm would be an 'arm bar' or 'chicken wing', hand and fist would be a 'stack', using the feet is unsurprisingly a 'foot jam'. That said, the technique used by ondra on this climb was a hand jam.
Seeing crack techs at comp climbin events is really cool. I’d love to see more crack volumes with other jam sizes, especially fist+hand and larger. I’m just imaging how cool to would be to have an off width sized wideboys volume on a comp climb.
I'm from Czechia and I was at a climbing center and met him there. He almost fell on my head, then apologized. It was a funny encounter, cuz then I didn't even know who he was lol We both laughed it off and he was very chill
Wish my gym set more cracks like this. I don't know why a lot of climbers don't like cracks. They feel far more secure than a lot of other types of holds.
I mean this is fairly obvious. Other competition climbers, climb pretty much pure plastic and comp style. However Adam on the other hand is the greatest climber in the world currently. And is highly profficient in basciallt all techniques. To him this crack style of climbing is a walk in the park. Hence the confidence before he even finished. Where as the other climbers most likely have never even climbed crack before.
No mention of it but during the recce he was showing all the other competitors how to finger jam the lower section but everyone just laybacked it - what other sport would you find competitors helping each other like that. The reason Adam could do it is because he's the GOAT 😂😂
Other athletes probably couldn't send it, not because the move was difficult, but cuz.. it hurts. Easy indoor hand jams hurt like hell. Cant imagine hanging from one outside or inside
imo it is sad that professional climbers do not know basic techniques like jams. In competitions they especially wanna find the best overall climber by making slabs, coordinations, dynos, etc but crack climbing I can only think of this one on the international scene. If there will be another crack boulder or lead route this year, a lot of competitors would fail miserably. Even some of the great favorites... THIS would make a final more interesting&challenging
Ondrq did an entir2 segment on hand jamming and one finger/knuckle hangs on a doc i watched with him. You indoor competitor's shouldnt mix with the outdoor big boys ;)

@@rennieputnam2662 not every outdoor climber jams, but every really good outdoor climber does.

@@rennieputnam2662yeah Shawn rabotou prob the best outdoor boulderer rn has a yt short of him basically being a beginner abt crack climbing
There is more and more crack climbing situation in gym climbing.
Of course he can top it, he's good at crack climbing
He's good at crack climbing, while I'm good at climbing with crack. We're not the same.
good is an understatement
Amazing how effortless he made that look.

Handjams are good enough that you can genuinely pull a car with one, if you know how to do it
True, but realistically any Moab trad or sport climber would have been the same.
@@amcneil3241 it's near impossible to find a crag with a crack in it, outside of the US.
@@blarfroer8066valid, I’m an American give me a break
This was such an amazing moment at the world cup finals, Ondra just cruising this problem with everyone else not being able to top it.... Just Epic!

Meahwhile me 💀
Bro is getting told to grow up from a sans profile. Grow tf up
@@vutrinhan3026 bro hates fun
@@geoterra9478 blud said he wants every video he watches to be mentioning about nudity
Come on… it’s a common term and technique in climbing, you didn’t have to be weird about it
@@Cobra97917 I know, I am a huge fan of MAGNUS and wish to be a pro climber some day
Love that you showed the Wide Boyz.

hard to believe you can be in czechia, climbing no less, and not know ondra, thats like playing basketball and not knowing jordan
so endearing to see him be so happy with his achievement, too :)
Wish my gym set more cracks like this. I don't know why a lot of climbers don't like cracks. They feel far more secure than a lot of other types of holds.
It's crazy that realistically this crack was prolly less than V6
So the Wide Boyz cellar visit really paid off, you love to see it
You know it!
Adam is one of the most incredibly versatile and talented climbers to ever live. An absolute animal.
the guy at the end on the left was not happy XD
I love how pete is used in half of the crack climbing clips
Pete = Crack Climbing 🤣
I had asked gyms around me to set crack but they all refused citing minimizing risk, this moment came up and several gyms started setting crack...
Honestly criminal how the wide boyz were left out of the crack climbing compilation.
What's criminal is name dropping like this, after having missed Tom Randall.
He's been hanging out in the wide boys' cellar!
cause he's the GOAT, also climbs outside, not just plastic
that thumbnail made me think he was doing it in space between two rocket ships
Jak rozvášnil to publikum🎉
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED???
any sauce for the clips at the start? those look absolutely insane too, would love to watch the full vids.
Sometimes we just have to sit back and admit that we are the NPC’s in Adam Ondra’s life.
I like that they have him posing behind some little kids so it looks like he beat a bunch of kindergarteners 😂
pete whitaker could do that one with ease too 😂
hand jam so easy
but it is a trick to be learned over a year or more
I thought this would be an instructional video and instead it's just Ondra flexing on everyone 😂
I guess we could say he's *cracked* at climbing... 😉

Czechs are experts in jamming. Czechia has many sandstone crack climbing
Those jams look super solid.
Yes, “hang jamming” includes the process of creating outward pressure with your “foot” lmao
How does a hand jam generate outward pressure with anything but your hands? That's why it's called a >HAND< jam.
You're right xD
I should've said "jamming is a technique..."
"ya think anyone will notice if we replace the world cup with a house plant?" 😅
How do i find the video of the guy doing the kneebar upside down
No mention of it but during the recce he was showing all the other competitors how to finger jam the lower section but everyone just laybacked it - what other sport would you find competitors helping each other like that. The reason Adam could do it is because he's the GOAT 😂😂
Now I know why he's considered the best boulderer
hes not
ofcourse he can do it he's adam ondra
"hand jamming is when climbers use their foot"
Bro violated the others
And he flexes on the others by holding it with one hand to hype up the crowd haha
After he found out, that no other person toped it, he explained Crack climbing to his opponents 😅
Other athletes probably couldn't send it, not because the move was difficult, but cuz.. it hurts. Easy indoor hand jams hurt like hell. Cant imagine hanging from one outside or inside
Jams (especially "easy" jams) don't hurt if you know how to jam.

I met the best crack climbing pete witicha
Don’t know if I would call crack climbing an unpopular skill.
Why dont they train more handjams?? I understand not liking it but comon, youre a professional athlete. Its not that bad
Yeah, i remember that one!
ok thanks for not explaining what he does and instead simply talking over the damn video
So what did he do differently?
how is handjam an unpopular move ?
I'd rather say "uncommon" (in gyms) as proved by the other athletes
Ondrq did an entir2 segment on hand jamming and one finger/knuckle hangs on a doc i watched with him. You indoor competitor's shouldnt mix with the outdoor big boys ;)
He’s done belly full of bad berries of course he can jam
😂 Why is the World Cup a bunch of twigs??
“Hand jam is a technique where the climber uses outward pressure using their hands, arms, feet, fists” bruh read your script before posting.
it’s not an unpopular skill lol
Weird how world class climbers cannot perform basic climbing technique
What is a relative technique
There are techniques needed for different situations. In this case, the relative technique is the crack climbing technique!
@@climb_able_ gotcha, it was just kinda weird phrasing and it caught me up lol. The video was Neat as hell though, that guy made it look easy
Don't even bother measuring Adams body fat.
Adam Ondra ❤❤❤❤
Love to hand jam with my feet
Was this written with help from chatGPT or similar?
Nope. There might be some errors because of that ;)
Pretty sure if you use your foot it's not a hand jam.
So it was rigged for him. Ok
