BD Athlete Adam Ondra: The Just Do It (5.14c) Onsight
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ธ.ค. 2018
- Just Do It is the crown jewel of Smith Rock-the birthplace of hard sport climbing in America. The 140-foot testpiece was, in fact, America’s first 5.14c, climbed in 1992 by the French superstar J.B. Tribout. To this day, Just Do It remains a coveted ascent by the world’s strongest climbers.
But to look at that mega pitch, with its cryptic sequences spread over 18 bolts and think … maybe that will go first try … that is a realm occupied by just one climber: BD Athlete Adam Ondra.

i wonder if anyone was just sauntering through the park that day and was like, "i think i hear the call of the wild Ondra"
Christopher Jensen Hahahahahah so good
Nice one😂
It's mating season. Wait, I meant "sending". It's sending season.
3:00 top left of screen, someone heard him coming.
Yes, this actually happened. Smith is my home cragg and we have some friends who heard his screams echoing throughout the entire park. 🤣
Breaking News: Adam Ondra was asked to leave Planet Fitness
hahaha but he was out... but his loud grunts made them think he was inside
Marc G all the power lifters tip their hats in respect
I heard that while he climbed this every lunk alarm at every planet fitness in the USA rang
I could listen to that on loop, alone, with candles
@@ehoh3246 LMFAO!!!
Every time Ondra screams he absorbs the life force of another demon.
lmaoo
Don't joke about such things. [Demons/Satan]
@@EGbean2 Satan is the biggest joke of them all xD
@@kipo07 please be respectful
@@EGbean2 im sorry but religion is a joke in itself, im not dissing, just saying straight facts
This has my vote for best
Could be better and steeper.
To be honest, Silence will be so iconic, and already is, that probably every great upcoming climber has and will watch the film, giving up their onsight attempt lol
Alan Watts looked like he was nearly brought to tears. Legendary status onsight!!!
incerdible indeed
Matthew Janse Watts truly took serious shite for his climbing vision. Those times were so heated...... violence even
Posted this as a comment below but I will put it here too.
'I don't think Alan Watts was put off at all...more like a reckoning of how far along sport climbing has come in 2018. A sport that he had an unquestionable contribution to it's genesis 30 years ago. It would be akin to witnessing your child win a world record in some other sport. The fact that he looked on the verge of tears is what makes this video so powerful.
Alan Watts didn't just bolt 'Just Do It'...he is the single biggest reason that hard gymnastic single-pitch climbing using bolts as protection exists in the US. The whole concept to enable the climber to rehearse and climb brutally difficult sections; to push difficulty as a singular objective separated from risk...that is Watts legacy at Smith and America.
If I just witnessed that, I'd cry too.....'
@@paulwall3269 amen brother, I'd cry too
paul wall I stand in agreement with you Brother. Watts was gobsmacked & probably feeling vindicated. All the shite & slander, threats he endured ....... and then see Adam pull this On•Site was validation for all he endured. Alan Watts place in American Climbing History is truly visionary & humble pioneer
PSA: This is not a good video to try to watch in the bathroom stall at work on low volume... people will think things.. trust me.
Jajajajajaa...veery good
I almost sh*t myself laughing at this
Actually people from the next room thought I was watching Tenis match :)
Exactly. Watch it on HIGH VOLUME!
Been there, done that. That's why I bought a pair of wireless earbuds. Trust me,worth it !
Adam once admitted in a private interview that he uses the scream solely to cover up for the jet farts that proppel him upwards. The beans brand is a secret know-how. All we know he mixes them with Arnold protein powder. If this wouldn’t be true he would’ve been a superhuman climber.
Would have preferred it if Adam's final scream was dubbed over with a majestic eagle call. Missed opportunity.
Completely agree...
Funny thing is that screech belongs to the red tailed hawk, not the bald eagle!
@Carlo Alcos Poor Americans. The realization that they do notot know the authentic Bald Eagle sound has them all f***ed up............. lol🤣🤣🤣
JL8133 was gunna say😂
Younger Climbers might not be aware of the abuse Alan Watts took in pursuit of his climbing vision. He really deserves a collective thank you from the Climbing Community. In many ways Adams ascent must be sweet vindication for the Old Man
You mean abuse by traditional climbers?
nb the whole community INTERNATIONALLY was in the chaotic throws of “birth pangs” as Sport & Tradition were terms being accepted & standardized. In many ways it was comparable to a Civil War as friendships ended & fights started. So an easy answer to your question would be yes by traditional climbers. An example is when he came to Yosemite & he did the First Complete free ascent of The Stigma 5.13b/c (Todd Skinner had Yo•Yo’d it earlier). There were locals who heckled while he was climbing. They wrote homophobic shite all over his vehicle. Watts was not attempting to be a pioneer. He just had nothing left in the way of natural lines left at Smith, so he started developing from the top down as that’s really the common sense way to develop Smith due to the nature of the volcanic Tuff.
Long winded & still I really can’t convey what an emotional cluster fuck it was at the time
@@robertnewell4054 Incredibly informative, thanks for that.
Jeff Smoot's book "Hangdog Days" is a really good recounting of the birth of sport climbing in the US and includes Alan's story. Highly recommend it for any climber
5:41 it’s such a beautiful moment. One of your heroes validating your work must have been a tremendous moment for Adam. You could see that Alan Watts was genuinely moved by what he had just witnessed. Truly inspiring.
"Aaahh! Uaahh! Uggghhh!" - Adam Ondra, 2018. I think I'm gonna get this as a tattoo.
Things you don't want to hear when you're at the crux: 4:08
Edit: this was said by a different climbing party on a nearby route, but it stood out when I was watching the video. Just wanted to bring this up as a funny little coincidence.
lol good catch
Edek Falkowski 😂😭
I heard that too! I very slightly panicked hearing that
what exatly did he say about the belay? I'm not quite catching it
@@marius_krm "You're off belay."
5:16 is such an incredible moment. You've just flashed one of the hardest iconic routes, while your mates are howling in adoration and happiness, while you drink in the incredibly powerful view of the canyons.
How can anything ever get better than this.
honestly I don't think it could
I’m about to cry after watching. This seems even more exciting than the overhanging routes Adam has climbed. Absolutely a stunning line and good exposure.
Chuck Norris and a Pterodactyl had a baby. They named it Adam Ondra.
so thats where the screaming comes from
Hahahhaahha LMAO
Watching Adam skip clips is so anxiety-inducing
Lawrence Chen he’s not afraid of taking a whipper. His understanding & situational awareness is above even other top climbers
@@robertnewell4054 I have never climbed harder than 7 A and I will take any fall on bolts and would you rather clip and fail or skip it and keep going you can be to pumped to clip
@@dominic6018 the last time ondra felt too pumped to clip he hadn't been born yet
Best edit so far in this Ondra V-log series!
Was at Smith today and it's even more impressive now seeing it in person
How does it look like in real life?
Finally more than 3 minutes of film! Keep it up! ENORME ADAM!
Onsight is the purest form of climbing, the way Adam celebrates, he knows too
I appreciate you mentioning the important of maintaining the natural beauty of the park! I grew up in Bend and Sisters and I can't believe how crazy the tourism has become there.
i had to immediately turn my volume down when i saw “adam ondra”
Even better to watch after listening to Alan's interview on the Nugget Podcast!!!
I was literally brought to tears.
yeah, even my palms were crying
Same
"The nature here is fragile" - Now watch as I scream my lungs out.
no animal left in 3 mile radius
Too crowded at Smith ? Maybe if I promote Smith on my V-log it will help..
best youtube content. congratulations and MUCH respect. truly inspirational
Alans face on witnessing that.. amazing!
I think this is the most outstanding onsight from Adam, more significant than any of his other 9a onsights. 43 meters by tiny crimps, piercing wind, freezing fingers, no place to rest. It's just unbelievable.
Il Domani at Baltzola is at the top spot.
It's so hard to believe that this is my home sometimes. Stuff like this reminds me how fortunate I am to come from such a place.
That was unreal. Smith rock feels weird - it's solid but feels slippery - like congealed mud. I remember back in the late 80's standing at the bottom of TBONTB and couldn't even get on it - and that was only 14A. Great to see how gracious and amazed Alan is at what was once inconceivable.
For me this was the ultimate passing the torch. Such a awesome video!!
Amazing effort Adam! Thanks, helps a lot.
purely and simply amazing! thank you so much for the content!
Adam is such an inspiration! I remember hearing about him when I first started climbing which was 10 years ago. He is only like 24 or so, crazy that he has been performing at such a high level since he was very young, and he has kept improving still, too! Curious to see what he will be up to next year :)
A crazy-haired Adam Ondra screaming his way through a 5.14c onsight is why I love climbing.
Almost cried a little, beautiful video.
that was intense! you can feel he's putting everything into this try
Probably the strongest climber at the moment. Adam is a beast. Bravo 👏. Amazing to watch you regularly send it on climbs that you aren’t very familiar with.
Amazing. Thanks for this video.
So good i had to watch it again
WOW! . amazing performance, well done Adam.
Damn kids. I project V4.
"The look on Alan's face, Priceless.
This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I'm so gald Ondra is pushing the sport like this. I've watched him onsighting other thing online, but never a route that I've seen with my own eyes. It's hard to comprehend how amazing this is unless you are a climber.
Back for my annual watching of this wonderful short movie.
ADAM you're the best not only in climbing! You are amazing dude! I will watch you killing it in Tokyo 2020!
Amazing! Sent shivers down my spine- so intense!
huge recognition, wonderful
Lets not forget this isnt his first 14.c onsight or even his hardest onsight!!!! this dude is amazing
Yrrrraaahhhh Adam...wow...go man !!! Fkn love you brother
I am just watching this, but I really appreciate how you look at the affects on nature that humans cause. A lot of the environmental aspects get overlooked in the pursuit of the climb.
Amazing man, congrats!!!!
Unbelievable in so many ways!
What a belta video and climb!!!
Watching this is better than movies, better than cinema, better than Netflix, better than anything..
I'd be curious to hear his thoughts on this particular achievement vs. other difficult onsights he's completed throughout his career...how does onsighting JDI compare to The Golden Ticket, Mind Control, etc.
Alan Watts knows he just saw the best climber on the planet!
This climb really meant a lot! You can hear it in his screams
That gave me goose bumps
it said, hikers can still hear his screams in the valley to this day.
on a different level completely!
it's just 8c+, they compete on that level
Amazing.
Great hiking in Smith Rock, one of my favorites!
i was there last week. if you listen closely, you can still hear him.
I mean, are you kidding me? This is incredible...
A super climbing event 💪🌋well done .a 10000$ climb.
Che bravo che sei Ondra!
I love his screams....I’m kinda the same way. 👌🏾💪🏾👏🏾🖖🏾
This is climbing right there!
Wonderful footage. I wonder if he got the sequences right.
I can not phantom how does Adam handle the gigantic pressure. I know he got slowly used to it, but still... Everyone (him included) expects him to perform perfectly every day.
kriszteblade lol if he got the sequences right? The dude onsighted 5.14c.
@@adamwicks-arshack7709 ?? You clearly didnt understand my question.
I suppose practice makes perfect. He is familiar with a wide range of techniques and knows when to use them.
You see him at 4:16 get the sequence wrong! And still has the energy to back track, re-position, and on-sight it!
*fathom
Adam's foot control is mind blowing to me.
Bartek Kay his placement is so nuanced. It’s a joy to watch. I just wish they had had a second camera man roped following his movements more closely.
Just stunning. I wonder, though, if an onsight would be possible without the chalked holds. I know my own mediocre performances are GREATLY assisted by having key holds marked. Of course, no one is going to go clean the route beforehand, so I guess we'll never know. Regardless, just mind blowing stuff. Bravo!
Scott Wayland you’re totally right. Some climbs are just so popular that it’s almost impossible to climb them clean.
I though the same... every hold is marked 😑
@@giulioe.2874Smith Rock gets very little rain so the holds on a lot of the climbs are perpetually chalked up
What a fucking legend
first time doing my rock climb research wow this is very serious
Amazing. Wonder why the route stops there.
It's really cool Watts was there
sick!!!!
The first ascentionist has such mixed emotions in this. You can tell he is awe struck by Adam, but at the same time a little...put off? This was the hardest route at Smith rock, a test piece. Something he used to push his limit to get the first ascent. To flash it almost belittle's it's difficulty. But, it is a testament to Adam's ability. The guy is truly raising the bar to amazing heights.
Watts bolted it, but Tribout got the FA
It was an onsight, not a flash - that much more extraordinary
I dont think he is put off at all. If anything he is amazed at how much Ondra is pushing the sport. The guy who bolted it have most certainly been around world class climbers his whole life and I dont think Ondras Onsight makes the other climbers any less good, it only shows how far ahead he has pushed the sport.
Eric Carlson Tribout was back in France drinking strong coffee & smoking cigarettes. Alan Watts who equipped the route stated quite clearly in the Video that this was the greatest achievement in Climbing he had ever witnessed
I don't think Alan Watts was put off at all...more like a reckoning of how far along sport climbing has come in 2018. A sport that he had an unquestionable contribution to it's genesis 30 years ago. It would be akin to witnessing your child win a world record in some other sport. The fact that he looked on the verge of tears is what makes this video so powerful.
Alan Watts didn't just bolt 'Just Do It'...he is the single biggest reason that hard gymnastic single-pitch climbing using bolts as protection exists in the US. The whole concept to enable the climber to rehearse and climb brutally difficult sections; to push difficulty as a singular objective separated from risk...that is Watts legacy at Smith and America.
If I just witnessed that, I'd cry too.....
Awesome onsight,probably the hardest so far, but it would be better if the video had close ups of the minuscule holds, dubbed in!!!
My buddy watch it. Sick bro.
is onsight a trust thing since there is so much beta on popular routes? also chalked holds are allowed for onsight?
so can someone pls tell me how they placed all that gear up there? Did someone rappel down from the top? is it all there all the time?? help!
Amazing! I'm sweating like a pig now, Just watching! :D
Ondra is next level awesome
No chickens were harmed in the making of this production
Adam "clip skip" Ondra. great video
Adam killllllz it!!!!!!!
how do you bolt such a route, when you cannot just hike on top?
God creat this for us !!1 and we can enjoy and explore new levels in our lives ! Love to see the Rocks
A beast
I struggle on a 5.12b while ombra onsight a 5.14c what a beast
He said, Smith Rock has such a fragile nature environment and complains about soooo many visitors on one weekend but screams a bat out of hell while climbing in the valley? Mhm... I do not think that the deer thought it was an eagle screaming. But except this, amazing video, nice cutting, super hard climbing and a wonderful scenery
Does this mean I cant onsight this route anymore now that ive watched this.
La ripresa su una via a vista non deve interrompersi

1:21 NECK, NECK, NECK, NECK!
I have to believe it’s an advantage of some kind. His ability to keep his body close to the the rock face, while at he same time being able to lean his neck and head that far out to look for available holds HAS to be an advantage.
How does a slim tall rock like that transform?
The Maria Sharapova of rock climbers!!! 😂 dude is amazing!
Can someone make a soundtrack of ondra’s screams? Asking for a friend
That screaming was something else.
