8C Boulder Problem in 9a+ Sport Climb | First Ascent of Kout Pikle 9a+ | Adam Ondra

[@jhy8191]

I see what his friend meant when he said it's a stressful belay! Amazing climb.

[@tobbelajs]

As always, thank you for doing what you do. All love to you and your team!

[@jeduthunoosthuis5794]

Was quite cool hearing Adam speak in his native tongue.

I was always of the opinion his native tongue was shouting at rocks 🪨

Thankyou for allowing us a look into your world bro, you seem like the most interesting person on the planet and I'm looking into another world I never knew existed....I hope you're making some good bank from this cause you deserve it.

[@gigglysamentz2021]

Dangerous first moves and crappy bolt that anchors, I love it. Nice to see the parts that remind us of a proper climbing day!

[@paulmitchell5349]

Always sweet when a very old project is climbed.

[@RoadtoV11]

Another brilliant video! Congrats Adam for another great ascent!

[@chaosengine4597]

And that, my friends, is why my trainer deeply embedded into my climbing to always have at least one quickdraw with me. Sick climb, Adam :)

[@noahanthony5449]

Great video. See you push yourself is incredible, keep up the good work.

[@matthewkelly99]

Im loving the channel, Adam. Keep up the great work. Also, its good to see your subs rise after the MagnusMidtbo 1mil episodes, great business decision there as well. Keep being you, its refreshing😉

[@thomasmuc1339]

Great as usual, you deserve more views and followers!

[@kaizuhlsdorf5338]

So cool as always!! The rock is so beautiful and at the very beginning, the calming introduction with the trees and nature and chilling colours... I recognized I never praise the camera Team!!! You do so great work, the atmosphere is captured perfectly and together with the protagonist 😅 and his friends these videos give so mutch to the community!! I'm very grateful that we all can participate!!! Love it!!!❤❤❤

[@Bobbzorzen]

is the 9a+ grade including the fetching of qucikdraws from adjacent routes? :D

[@JasonP6339]

My favorite thing about Adam is if he thinks it's 9B while looking at it, he'll think it's a 9a+ while at the top after first accent, and then decides it's a very intensive 8c by the time he makes it to the bottom again lmao

[@kell733]

I'm completely clueless so curious what exactly happened at 8:15 mark? TIA for the info

[@Heyy.its.C]

Quick question, Was giving the other quick draw a safety thing or because it doesn’t count unless you anchor of the finishing point? Even though that you clearly made it up there

[@ludmilafistrova8044]

seems like it was a safety thing :)

[@leoingson]

He could not clip the left one (unable to screw it open) - thus he clipped to the right (other route) and got a biner up from more below. There is also 1 bolt missing, see description.

[@TrackpadProductions]

Apropos of nothing - was there not a bolt right at the start, that he didn't use for the send go? The one shown at the beginning? Or am I misunderstanding something?

[@quelandil5738]

@@TrackpadProductions Some climbers tend to skip some holds in parts they feel secure at

[@TrackpadProductions]

@@quelandil5738 The boulder problem at the beginning is both the crux, and the most dangerous part... maybe the clip was just too close to the ground to be worth using?

[@LilianCvl]

Awesome!

[@ABSVabeautifulsunsetvlog]

Incredible climbing Adam……always a pleasure to watch a master at work, and the distortion out of that knee bar was other worldly!!! I am curious about one thing though? Isn’t that a back clip at 8:32? Know it doesn’t matter, just curious to know if I’m seeing the right thing. Great video regardless Adam✌🏽😃✌🏽

[@alcupone6462]

There is a ring bolt, which is a discipline on its own. Generally the rule is it should be clipped with the gate of the biner away from the rock and with rope going out in the intended direction of further progress. Adam clipped it with carabiner the right way and with his rope going to the left where the ring of his original route was, I would say it was the best solution to the situation.

[@chaosengine4597]

well spotted, but no back clip. As Al Cupone already stated, it's because of the situation there. One could argue that Adam vould have clipped from right to left instead, but I'm pretty sure he assessed the situation and thought this is the better way. In this case you can see from the following footage that there was no danger of unclipping or side-loading the biner, so in the end it's fine.

[@gigglysamentz2021]

Impressive route :O

[@JoRoWi83]

I love that he ascends all these boulder problems amd immediately downgrades their difficulties haah

[@middle-agedclimber]

Next step, add a sitstart for a 9b. ;)

[@kitinstars]

Nice adam

[@liftingisfun2350]

What shirt is the first guy wearing???? It's so cool!

[@FuryRock1001]

Did someone understand the issue with the final hanchor ? Why did he clip on the right first?

[@martinvalek7219]

The anchor carabine was stuck, so for safety he clip anchor on the rigt, then want to clip corect anchor, but it was stil stuck. So he climbed again for free carabine and finaly clip the corect anchor. A lot of climbing ... I thing cliping the right anchor was enought, but Adam has poor etic..

Wait i'm confused. Are you still working with Black Diamond? I saw a post you made about you cutting ties with them. Now I wanna know

[@laynelowry8283]

Adam, where did you get your knee pads for knee bars? Or if anyone else can answer this question: I have seen this same style of knee pads in many climbing videos but can never discover where people get them. Is it actually a knee pad for a different purpose being used for climbing because “climbing knee pads” and similar phrases yield no results online.

[@stickydicky4224]

Most people get their kneepads from Send Climbing. Pretty sure that Adam's wearing one of theirs in this vid, don't know the exact model though

[@djsquiggy7194]

how often do u get new shoes

[@LostinYTblackhole]

What was the deal with the anchor situation? Why couldn’t he have just clipped into the one and be lowerd, why did he have to put two anchors like it always is?

[@Eduef84]

It's not considered a "send" until you clip the anchor.

[@endlessfluid2430]

adam please see this you are my inspiration in my eyes you’re to good to be true i have a question how can someone get better from 6a to like 7a and how to be able to do lead comfortably without being scared

[@smokeyriceballs5880]

practice^^ i think we all had the struggle to climb higher grades. I was stuck quite a long time on 6b/6b+ and after climbing regular 7a (boulders) and 6c routes i am still not satisfied hahaha probably not the most encouraging words but yeah i think the only truth is practice and hard work. beeing conscious of your own movement and condition is kind of key. reading the beta regularily even when your not climbing atm reading betas in your head (i call procastination climbs) actually helped me grow quite conscious of how exactly i now my body. work on your weaknesses and learn to utilise your strengths to the fullest. take rests and accept defeat, to grow stronger than you were yesterday

[@BiggieChungulus]

There exists a channel called "send edition" and while the person running it isn't the literal best in the world, she provides such a magnificent wealth of information specifically for beginners like us :) even as I push into the 7b/7b+ territory I still find immense value in her videos!

[@leoingson]

I think, you answered yourself - learn to fall (search for "fear of falling" videos by hard is easy), and get into sport routes harder than your current level.

[@jakearculli6678]

Try the grade you want to climb and you might surprise yourself. Lead up a route thats hard for you and if you start to feel scared, take smaller test falls to show yourself that its safe. Don’t expect to send the route or for it to feel easy. Just try to figure out the moves and you’ll get better. And keep in mind that onsight attempts will feel much harder and you shouldn’t be discouraged by them. Honestly my point of view is if you want to climb harder, try harder climbs. But if you’re climbing 6a you should also try to climb a lot of different routes to gain experience. You could just alternate between trying hard routes and trying a lot of different easier routes and you’ll get better.

To contrast the "hearing him speak his native tongue: stuff... The amount of non-english, non-subtitled dialog really makes me want to exit out of these videos early so much. To most like 20 to 30% of the video is worth watching. If there were at least subtitles included it wouldnt be so bad.
