Hi climbers, enjoy the new video and watch the whole ascent with my commentary in my membership section ⏩th-cam.com/video/_sJLuf6tTK8/w-d-xo.html. See you there ✊
My 6 year old son came running across the room when he heard Adam working the boulder start since he thought his breathing was Darth Vader. Sadly he was a bit disappointed to see it was Adam Ondra. One day he'll realize Adam is way more powerful than Vader...
I love that Adam is talking about how style influences grade. It really illustrates how academic the grading discussion really is at the top end of the scale
It's really cool that Adam is climbing Inga in the rain, the same conditions that forced Koyamada to establish the route in the first place, the shots of the waterfall are epic!! Really amazing video Adam!
Congrats ! That's a few minutes from my home, thrilled that you came here and send tour "project" :) i would have loved to meet you in person ! Cheers !
Being able to project and send a new route in a day is insane. We sometimes think “it’s only 8c+/9A” because it’s ondra. But 99% of climbers could project 8c+ their whole life and not send. My mind is blown by Adam.
Adam è un esempio di vita. Non solo è un climber unico, ma una persona positiva al massimo. Sempre sorridente, gentile, mai pieno di sé. Mi ricorda a tratti come modo di porsi Manolo. Per fortuna non messner
Adam! Do you know what would also make a pretty good day? Checking out DNA of Seb Bouin! No need to climb it just yet, just have a look and show us the amazing route with your cinematography 😊
I don't know man, seeing Adam fighting like that and needing two tries (plus the experience on the route from back then) makes me think of 9a/+ rather than 8c+.
Very cool! Darth grader says 8A+ boulder -> good rest -> 8c route is 9a :) But he seemed to suggest that both the boulder problem and the route are easier with kneepads, thus hard 8c+ overall.
It is interesting when you are young that even a grade harder that you have ever climbed might seem like an impossibility. There was a climb Kachung (21) at Mount Arapiles (Australia) which was my dream climb when the hardest i had done was an 18. My wake up call came when i did No Exit (25) without even knowing the grade. If you are young and still growing, don't get down if you can't seem to climb something, you're body might just be a little to small at the time; climb anything that you enjoy, and it will all come together.
always nice to take down a route that eludes you for so long. It seems that knee pad still didn't help much with a nasty looking cut, wonder if that was what half the power screams were about lol
Very impressive, extremelly hard at the bottom and still very demanding till the top, even for Adam. What about this new way of exhausting the air like a horse ? I watched a video of Cedric Lachat onsighting Chimpanzodrome (Saussois, France), he was breething the same way😂.
Darth grader gives 9a for the combination of a 8A+ boulder and a 8c route, even if there were a good rest in between. This rest doesn‘t look so good to me…
U shuld have done it again, and this time how it was intended! 2 routes in one! Why not?? One is for free and is even more difficult/challanging on the second wey!
I just dont get it why with kneepads isnt considered 9a.. i mean.. yeah you can rest more, but without the kneepad, is it impossible to do the kneebar? It will fuck your skin up, but you can still do it. right?
IMHO he wasn't really talking about the kneepads, but about the sequence of moves, that once you use kneebar (with or without kneepads), the route is easier. Meaning it's not really about the equipment but about finding better beta.
A kneepad can make it easier to get a kneebar in and easier to rest once you have it. I can't say if it's impossible to do without the pads, but it would make it easier. Also if a kneebar is fucking up your skin like you say, you can't really get a rest in, which can make a big difference.

You are the BEST adam.... Good work man
My 6 year old son came running across the room when he heard Adam working the boulder start since he thought his breathing was Darth Vader. Sadly he was a bit disappointed to see it was Adam Ondra. One day he'll realize Adam is way more powerful than Vader...
You've never seen Vader and Adam in the same place...just sayin
Underrated comment, haha!
😀
Horse Vader*
You still have time to complete project ondra, make into a climbing head now, enjoy having a 8c kid later
0:35
Adam - "Well, this waterfall is not supposed to be here."
Meanwhile, saying that while sitting on a couch out there in the crag
Two couches, but that's recent addition.
Always gotta have a place to shower after climbing
lmao bro fr
Couches only appear in extreme weather situations.
doing an 8a boulder problem with no crash pads is a real Adam Ondra moment
I love that Adam is talking about how style influences grade. It really illustrates how academic the grading discussion really is at the top end of the scale
'Conditions are... well, this waterfall isn't supposed to be here...' LOL
Good to know that blowing raspberries for power is an established technique and I'm not alone in it
I believe it may be a technique to relax and conserve power for the future screams
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm gonna take it a step further and whinny. Will report back.
Check out the OG raspberrie blower, Cedric Lachat.
I love that there was no music during the climb. Just the sounds of the rain and Adam's effort. Really transports you to the place.
when you clip the first quickdraw and already be pumped! 😅
It's really cool that Adam is climbing Inga in the rain, the same conditions that forced Koyamada to establish the route in the first place, the shots of the waterfall are epic!! Really amazing video Adam!
I loved the storytelling on this route from your teenage years
Loved this shorter video. Perfect length for its content. This channel has great details like the rest-times which are very informative.
For Adam, climbing 9a "...makes for a pretty good day".😮
8c+ ;)
Adam just running side quests now
Adam completed the main story and is now going back and completing old side quests
Adam in heaven when a waterfall covers for his screams😊
I turned my volume down because I didn't want my neighbor to hear lol
Insane strength. can’t wait to become a better climber you inspire me👍🏼
Congrats ! That's a few minutes from my home, thrilled that you came here and send tour "project" :) i would have loved to meet you in person ! Cheers !
Очень круто!

I enjoyed watching this video, congratulation for finishing 8 c+ route
Adam è un esempio di vita. Non solo è un climber unico, ma una persona positiva al massimo. Sempre sorridente, gentile, mai pieno di sé. Mi ricorda a tratti come modo di porsi Manolo. Per fortuna non messner
Best thing about your videos are those emotional shouts! Gives you ghosepumps to hear and see it and you want to watch more videos!
It feels so sureal to see someone climb 9a so easy. A mythical grade that is just a day project for Adam
I love hearing the Adam yelps!!
Cool to see Adam fighting on some rad old style climb
I've decided that I'm watching Adam Ondra videos until I sleep. Not before I do some hangboarding though
Adams got an excellent production team!
I couldn't agree more 🙂
Beautiful crag!
Nice climbing area. I like the sofa!
Amazing as usual. Thanks Adam
Adam! Do you know what would also make a pretty good day? Checking out DNA of Seb Bouin! No need to climb it just yet, just have a look and show us the amazing route with your cinematography 😊
loved the story behind this ascent. the journey 👌🏻
It’s like watching a praying mantis walking upside down
Damn Adam you are unstoppable. Good work.
“I thought this was impossible to climb” has a much different meaning in context than I was lead to believe by the title.
I actually really thought so back then 🙂
SUPER! Hlavně krásná skála a ta pohovka tam :D Ideální
Loved the story of you coming back to the area where you made such great memories as a teenager and finishing the climb! Well done
Love that he channeled Chris Sharma by saying 'psaaat!' in the second try 😂
Masterpiece of a climb and video, always enjoy when a new video comes out!!
Glad you enjoy it!
New haircut looking crazy fresh 💯
First climbed when he was 12 - oh dear, I have never climbed an 8c - think i might be a bit too late to make it 🙂
I love Adam 💪❤️
I am relieved that the couch is still there 16 years later
looks like a cool boulder problem
Uzasny vykon a nadherna podivana Adame💪👍 V tom spodnim boulderu jsem tu rval za tebe😁 Tesim se na dalsi video😉
Probably the best climber I've seen . With a rope of course.
The filming and editing of that video was amazing !
Laco Korbel!
i love these kind of videos
Great video! Looks like a really fun climb
i really like the stories from young adam
07:33 when he clips in that echo off the walls is insane
That shot at 7:20 is breathtaking
Talk about an awkward first clip!
Beautiful music!
I don't know man, seeing Adam fighting like that and needing two tries (plus the experience on the route from back then) makes me think of 9a/+ rather than 8c+.
Kneebar foothold broke at 6:41 😬
Oh shit lmao
Good catch!
Wow amazing climb🎉
"Which is my SECOND 8C ever....When I was 12." LOL bruh
Legend
Very cool! Darth grader says 8A+ boulder -> good rest -> 8c route is 9a :) But he seemed to suggest that both the boulder problem and the route are easier with kneepads, thus hard 8c+ overall.
Incredible strong 💪🏼
8C at 12 is crazy
8c
So true. There might be some incredible talent and dedication involved 🤷♂️
It is interesting when you are young that even a grade harder that you have ever climbed might seem like an impossibility. There was a climb Kachung (21) at Mount Arapiles (Australia) which was my dream climb when the hardest i had done was an 18.

8:00 HUAWHHHH 👹🤬👺🤬8:34 It was fun ☺👍
8c at 12 years old is unfathomable
Very impressive, extremelly hard at the bottom and still very demanding till the top, even for Adam. What about this new way of exhausting the air like a horse ? I watched a video of Cedric Lachat onsighting Chimpanzodrome (Saussois, France), he was breething the same way😂.
Very nice idea to skip the long rests, but display rest times!
Thanks for not playing the music over his actual climbing 😉
O1/8c+/9a
I like the new horse noises
That looked so hard
all your high heels are insane
I think I heard a Psssaaat... thrown in there for good measure!
Darth grader gives 9a for the combination of a 8A+ boulder and a 8c route, even if there were a good rest in between. This rest doesn‘t look so good to me…
I could image this in grab
4:14 the blbllblb is so real
Hard to stay motivated if you're hanging on the first rest after 2 minutes of very hard climbing, without even clipping one quickdraw 😂
Me just trying to think if there is anything I could finish I started 16 years ago..
Dedication.
unreal
hello, well done
❤❤
Its very normal to climb your second 8c at 12 years old. Yeah
Where is that place? It’s amazing 🤯🇫🇷
Gorges du Loup, Deverse sector. Not too far from Nice, South of France.
I have so many questions about how and why there are couches there
that sofa isn't supposed to be there either
Why? Nice sofa.
Te tittle should be : I though It was imposible to climb, when i was 15 xD
"my first 8 c when I was 12"..
U shuld have done it again, and this time how it was intended! 2 routes in one! Why not?? One is for free and is even more difficult/challanging on the second wey!
When did you last use resoled shoes??
Sometimes I do it, resoled shoes (once they are resoled early enough) could be better than new ones
Official O2?
Are you trying DNA at all while you are/were in France?
Is this the highest O Grade climb in the world?
Omg. What is this? O4?
I wish the commentary wasn't pay-walled.
hallo adam!
Which Girl is Inga?
no pad at the beginning …..dont try this at home
I just dont get it why with kneepads isnt considered 9a.. i mean.. yeah you can rest more, but without the kneepad, is it impossible to do the kneebar? It will fuck your skin up, but you can still do it. right?

A kneepad gives a lot more friction.
A kneepad can make it easier to get a kneebar in and easier to rest once you have it. I can't say if it's impossible to do without the pads, but it would make it easier. Also if a kneebar is fucking up your skin like you say, you can't really get a rest in, which can make a big difference.
First!
Not impressed. Seen climbers do routes way faster than that.
