Adam Ondra #33: Qui 9a+ / Adam's Nightmare

[@GijsvanDam]

What an honor it must be to have climbed this route, and then to see the best climber probably of all time really struggling with it. Just shows what an immense feat it was to send this one in '96.

[@Lipasny]

I just hope, in 23 years Adam comes to assist some youngster who makes the successful third ascent.

[@thephore]

Belaying when Silence is climbed the second time in 2040

[@no_alias_for_me]

this route is like legend of old days haha

[@kall3nat0r]

Roland Hemetzberger recently repeated it as the third person ever :)

[@hansfrost-schimpf2110]

I love the climbing mixed with the Interview. One of your best videos so far! In my opinion.

[@piotraleksytabor]

Very emotional to see how they both reacted to the send. That's what's beaufiful in our sport. Great content!

[@clemcannondale4078]

Next episode he'll be smashing in Céüse and casually speaking a flawless French with the local strong guys haha

He does speak french I think.

I don't remember in wich video, but I'm 98% percent it was him speaking french in some climbing gym 🤔

How many languages do you speak Adam??!!????!!!!!

[@JimnyRicardo]

All of them.

[@1983alex]

What a great story! And 2 very classy guys 👌

[@iangottmusic]

Adams passion is undeniable. I would love to see him have a meltdown on “the meltdown” much lower grade slab/face but has only seen one repeat and seems so unique. I want to see Adam take down every classic. Awesome, also that guy is a legend and has the hat to prove it!

[@crescentfuze]

It has had a second repeat now, and it is still 8c+/9a so not exactly much lower grade. One of the hardest slabs in the world. Also you need to be used to slate movement.

[@EKdlwoasred]

[@LoMulticard]

He was the Fürst man to climb it!

[@zzzzz2582]

Second man clearly doesn't give Adam.

[@chaosengine4597]

good one ahaha!

[@Dragonmaster-cq2kt]

Imagine him falling ondra last hard move again 😩 Stefan wouldn’t give Adam

Englisch ist in Tschechien ein Pflichtfach, danach muss man zwischen Latein, spanisch, französisch und eben Deutsch eine zweite Sprache wählen. Wegen der geographischen Nähe und den wirtschaftlichen Möglichkeiten in Deutschland und Österreich wählen die meisten Schüler deutsch.

[@MissLilRedRooster]

I love how there is always genuine joy in this sport for everyone when someone sends a route. No jealousy, no sadness at being "beaten", just genuine joy at seeing someone conquering their literal mountain. Love that sportsmanship, it's raw and gorgeous.

[@benediktsammer1648]

Feels like he speaks in every video a new language😂 extremly impressive

[@atomsk1972]

Man, I would never look at Furst's teddy bear face and think he's a beast. Talk about deceiving looks.

[@MUuulerOriginal]

That video was so on point: Footage, interview, the climbing, the edit, the music! One of the best ones in this series for sure!

[@andyseverance1519]

So happy to see actual climbing footage again! Great job Adam!

[@spennyb123]

The fact that Adam is climbing at the level he's climbing at and filming and helping produce an amazing vlog each week is unbelievable. Thank you for being a massive inspiration to us all. I love that your production quality has gone up and up and I hope you are getting as much out of this as we are! ROAD TOKYO BABY!!!!

[@brainfaqk]

No shit - Stefan has to be your father!

[@mrmrmrmr3254]

By far my favorite episode so far - just wonderful to see two generations join hands like this. And your German ist great, makes me a little proud to hear Adam Ondra speak my native language. 🙏🙏🙏

[@ThePeacefulPenguin]

Love his smile when Adam conquers the crux and sends the route, climbers really make climbing such a beautiful sport!

[@benedictionkupo]

great video, lovely to see lots of unbroken climbing footage, and also to hear some screaming :)

[@MrHeliosoul]

"We all stand on the shoulders of giants". Great to see you paying homage to those that came before you and honoring them by inviting them out to re-live their climbs through you. Well done sir!

[@derneokosmopolit3675]

Great climbing, great introduction of Stefan, superb storytelling and topped of by excellent technical quality!

[@polgzz]

This is just beautiful. This videos really show not just how good of a climber he is, but the type of human being. It is really lovely to see Stefan reaction and the camaraderie felt by both of theme. Pure climbing.

[@gorgoberry]

Wow! Stefan shows amazing humility there. What a cool guy!

[@geoffreyholtes7301]

Great video! Loved the mix of raw climbing footage and the interviews with Adam and Stefan

[@kilianreischer8238]

That mad me fell so wholesome and it´s so cute to see how glad someone can be. One of the best videos i´ve ever seen in my entire live.

[@GeoReset-PL]

The best motivating movies of all times. This one turned me into tears almost. Great job Adam!

[@inkwhir]

Not only the best climber in the world, also the best video maker! The crew editing these videos is phenomenal! Watching each video is like watching a short movie, I love them!

[@Chris3141592]

Fabulous! - vindicated the original sender by it taking so long for a 2nd and only then by one of the world's best, if not THE world's best. Amazing! Heart-warming.

[@superbond22]

10 years and 14 days! I only recently got back into climbing, a handful of years ago I had a bad head injury that left me paralyzed feeling only agonizing seizures, and seeing this just motivates me everyday!!! Keep going at it Adam!

[@marlorsy]

Bravo, Brian. Your story is inspirational. I wish you continued strength & best wishes in your on-going recovery. All the very best. Stay motivated.

Adam really was born to do this, huh? What a blessing to have discovered the sport so young and to have been able to pursue it! Lovely to watch his journey and share in his joy :-)

I was so pumped when Adam stuck that next move from where he fell on the first attempt! I look forward to finding projects of my own that require me to work and learn so much that it takes years to earn the send.

Between this and the Huber routes in Weissersomething cave (Om? Open Air?), there are now, what, 3 9as prior to Chris Sharma's FA of Biographie that warrant the 9a+ grade?

[@kriszteblade]

Yup, Schleierwasserfall. Open Air was upgraded by Adam (I think), and there are some other unrepeated strange routes in 91 - 9a+ range (Violent New Breed for example). It is fu..ng incredible how those guys were climbing in the 90s, when their training facility was a pull-up bar and a doorframe.
