Man, I love these videos. No need for some 3 part life-story series on climbing, just Alex making some of the hardest stuff on earth look easy. 100% pure ballet on rock.
This is a pleasure to watch because it showcases the best that climbing can be, but seeing the journey and the failed attempts is also great because it show climbing in a more realistic light.
Love the video, amazing work! Also, wouldn't mind seeing the full video including the "rest" parts because it's an important aspect to climbing such a hard route like that. Full-length vids would help weaker climbers like myself to learn from
I don't mind the audio. Adds to the atmosphere of the video tbh. And I wonder what it's like to be at an insane climbing level, having this 9a as the perfect Life-Project, working it for ages and than Alex comes by, eats a carrot, and strolls up the route like it's nothing. Nothing short from world class 👏👏
Ich boulder am Felsen maximal 6c. Wenn ich sowas sehe bin ich einfach nur baff. Wie hoch kann Griffkraft bitte sein? Es ist so schade, dass ich so spät angefangen habe. Ich boulder jetzt seit 2 Jahren (Wegen Verletzung und Coronabreak leider nicht den ganzen Zeitraum) und bin 37. Ziel wäre mal irgendwann ne 8a zu schaffen. Auch wenn das vielleicht bissel sehr ambitioniert is, solche Videos motivieren mich immer aufs Neue.
I wonder how many climbers have gone for a pocket and a bird, snake, or insect was inside it. Those big cracks in the background near the end look like good habitat spots
ive had many lizard encounters. birds probably see you coming a mile away and leave. snakes would probably only be right off the ground or right at the top, they arent really rock climbers on anything more than vertical.
Sometimes, the quickdraws will be placed during the initial climbs, in which the climber checks out the beta. In some cases especially harder open projects, quickdraw are permanently in the route.
Pulling a rope up the rock and having to pause to clip all the time seems somewhat archaic. When are we going to be roped to something like drones that follow us up the rock and allow us to just climb.
I completely understand your feeling, like climbing with ease through the rock no worries about clipping just climb to the top, like the same feeling of free soloing but when you fall something catches you, nice dream to explore solutions indeed, I completely second that idea.

Both styles are good. Just different approaches to film making and showing climbing

Just one man, his carrots and the wind.
World class as always, Thanks Alex

The image quality is gorgeous, it lets us visualize the holds and try to imagine what it could be like climbing it.
Visualize the holds? What holds?
Haha yeah the few of us who will ever tackle a 9a route
Love your videos, Alex, they are so pure and calm! Very smooth climbing.

Nice video! Cool to give the shout outs at the end. Those friends deserve the recognition.
My finger popped just watching you swing on that mono. Fire as always man. Always inspiring watching you climb.
Such a sick line, looks incredibly difficult!
No comment. fabuloso, tío. me gustan mucho tus videos y como escalas, aprendo mucho contigo, gracias.
Alex du hast mich schön erwischt mit deinem 1. Aprilscherz.
Really love your climbing brother, envious of that raw strength! Motivating me to actually want to get fit so I can climb
Super impressive to watch! The route - the moves were looking super sick!
early carrot crew here
Eatin a carrot right now
Nah, you're eating cadavers again, don't pretend to be part of it
@@hikups well yeah.. eating alive animals is difficult.
@@jamesmcgall8234 Also killing them yourself. Paying for murder is easier. Hypocrites.
Got damn that is some good climbing
Starkes Video, Alex. Sau cool, wie gut man die Griffe sehen kann. Und der verdrehte baum am Anfang
Insane!!! Also that bonsai tree at the start is beautiful
Awesome climbing. Also those trees look gnarly :)
Would love to see this and other climbs with post commentary!
Amazing climb! Do longer vids pleaseeee
such silence... beautiful climb dude
That tree is growing on the overhang!
great vid, especially with the video quality!
gorgeous send!
Such a joy to watch! Super cool. :D
master of pockets

@@nicougrikify I'd be very impressed if there was a snake in the middle of a 10m wall though
@@NOTYOU0BVIOUSLY call that snake megos
went for a scorpion once in Verdon Gorges :) and was bitten by a wasp too !
@@LeonxLeon oh jeez
Good job dude!
Looking Olympic Strong 💪
Dude holy cow! How small are those holds in the first minute already haha
Insane!
Krass...👍Respekt
which patagonia jacket is that
Who takes the quickdraws off, or are they permanently there?

U should come to herculane to climb there a 9a
Hello, hope you have a nice trip in France !!
How often do you change your climbing shoes ?
Strong!!
Beruflich unterwegs?
Who named that😂
Le Assassin silensiuex
Cadafist... Ist das der rote Ferrari, der Lego fertig machen soll? xD
Looks like something broke off at 2:22
9a+ now, for sure
Put some music please

I mean, if that's what you want you might as well just use a top rope. But that's not considered 'real' climbing.

If you scream more like Adam Ondra does, you can climb 9c!
