Adam Ondra #35: Just Not To Be Second Again / European Lead Climbing Championship, Edinburgh 2019

ČESKÉ TITULKY JSOU DOSTUPNÉ V NASTAVENÍ VIDEA
The European Championships has always been a kind of event where I climbed relatively good, but never took the gold. I took second place 5 times in a row. That is why the European Championships in Edinburgh was a big goal.
Note: this episode includes lots of climbing.

Imagine just walking around and bumping into Adam Ondra... Must have made that guys day, and to appear in the vlog too. He'll be telling that story to his great grandkids

[@danteee1994]

hey Adam - fun fact my dad and his mates Trad climbed up some of the castle rock so they could hang a banner for a protest. so its not completely neglected :)

[@partykrew666]

thats badass!

[@KingMrColin]

They all get arrested?

[@MusicScala]

KingMrColin its Not america, not every country arrests their citizens immediately ;)

[@KingMrColin]

@@MusicScala I recalled reading in the old Lowland outcrops guide about a route up castle rock (an E2) where the ascentionists were 'promptly arrested upon completion of the climb' - thought it might have referred to the same ascent you described.

[@danteee1994]

@@KingMrColin well when they started a cop tied to arrest them, yanked on the rope and all. he was told he would kill them if he pulled the rope. as the cop was getting superiors he legged it up after his mate. i don't really remember if they were arrested but the defiantly weren't charged and they got on the local news because of it. mate 1: *big political rant* mate 2: "did it for a laugh" guess who's interview was used...

[@pontuswannmanzetterqvist114]

Hey Adam! Have you looked at Burden of Dreams sent by Nalle, or do you not have any interest in the boulder? Just curious

[@VuemX]

[@gregoryoutdoors]

Hi man! Are you still in Edinburgh? I want to see you climbing and shake your hand haha I usually go to Alien Block to climg in the city centre. Nice to see some top ppl coming to this city ;D

Adam, where can I find out where you are competing next!? I am in Europe for 5 months and would love to see in person!!

[@gavindejong8478]

Ifsc website has a calender for climbing events, I think they also provide a startlist upfront. Worth checking out I think

[@elfriederich]

Lucka Rakovec is pretty much in every episode :D

Adam probably walks around towns/cities he’s never been to and looks for things to climb ahah

[@Amir-so3gr]

U R aweseme

[@kylerobik3324]

Hey Adam, how many languages do you speak in total? I always get so confused whenever I see you speaking Italian then Czech then English. Just wondering cause your pretty smart to know three languages. Thanks

[@partykrew666]

i think its like 5-6. english, czech, french, italian, and maybe spanish i think?

[@miroz5824]

and you can count Slovak and Polish in too. Also, he speaks German too

[@LukeHeironimus]

I’ve always wondered what the routes are rated in competition like this.

[@AW-po7jr]

Luke Heironimus id guess 7a-c-ish, what do you reckon?

​@@AW-po7jr For sure you mean 8a-c?

[@ncb3131]

Currently living in Norway, always interesting and also strange to see that there are no scandinavic pro-climbers around anywhere in these competitions. There are so many perfect places to climb out in nature here, so many climbers come to Norway just to train, but few are actually competing on this level. Always strange to see.

Tina Johnsen from Norway made it to women lead finals.
