Adam Ondra #39: Visualization: A Crucial Part of Climbing

[@Mental_Tactics]

Haha love how he chalks up while walking to isolation after looking at the route...

[@tobiasbrunner4720]

y though

[@Zumilas]

@@tobiasbrunner4720 I'm guessing his hands get super sweaty while he's visualizing his climbing.

[@clayton6095]

@@tobiasbrunner4720 honestly its just a habit, ive chalked up for like 20minutes while having conversations in the gym

[@Mental_Tactics]

@Tobias Brunner What Clayton Said, pure habit I would guess.

[@Tondadrd]

It is a good habit as it helps with visualisation, with putting your mind into the climbing, holding on rest jug and chalking hands as you will do while climbing.

[@kriszteblade]

I have a hard time with remembering all the moves on a 6move boulder problem. He remembers all the route...

[@BomberBeta]

Exactly haha

[@fabiantucker7992]

You all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me

[@londonkieran2924]

@Fabian Tucker instablaster :)

[@felixlavey86]

Wow! His sketch was so accurate. I'm so impressed

[@colehibbard2851]

Adam’s ability to visualize every detail of beta , from heel hooks to body positions, before even touching the route is just insane

[@martingrand6646]

3:22 Adam shows us some dance steps

[@lucasferrell7793]

Oh somebody with the right software please mash this up to music!

[@carlosr.g946]

Idk why but I remembered this one video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXO8qICFhbCohtE

[@BoulderingHighlights]

haha dance dance ondaraa

[@d3la]

Awesome that you give away all this incredible stuff and knowledge, thanks Adam!!! I can’t imagine a single climber not following your videos. Saludos desde Madrid!!! 💪🏻

[@mbonar2694]

as a newbie to climbing, these videos have been so inspirational. thanks to everyone involved in making them!

[@deniw]

Oh my God so true. Visualization is so important, especially in climbing

[@BomberBeta]

Amazing how much Adam can remember!

[@pavelbelik6174]

3:22 - Belayer in the background checking them dance moves :D

[@elieponge3906]

Always so good an impressive to watch, thanks to everyone!

[@dainaheaton]

What a legend. Best of luck for Toulouse

[@brel_]

Now that is what a true mind palace looks like

[@thewateringwiz7118]

Ahhhh yes the pink one in the corner !!

[@mrmiguicasal]

My best wishes for you for the classification to Tokyo!!!

[@jordansky]

There is a condition called "Aphantasia" and it relates to the ability or rather inability to see something in the minds eye. I believe there is a spectrum of this and Adam likely has great ability. I unfortunately have trouble and it hurts my climbing in some ways- however I am great at winging it.

[@Scratchjy]

You're such a genius ! It is so hard to get to remember everything like that.... Just an Amazing video as always

[@jordantaylor3907]

Adam great execution.just observed every inch I love the posts keep up the good work.i just posted my first v1 boulder in the gym.it was a milestone for me.

[@jofitness9373]

What a great insight. Thanks!

[@morkovija]

Still wondering if its a ritual for Adam to be first to touch the starting holds?;)

[@Puleczech]

[@GabrielConstantinides]

Hahaha

[@vetlesulen8406]

You plan on doing a trip to Finland and try "burden of Dreams" in the near future?

[@jonkrause6714]

Creativity at it's finest. I meant Martin, ha ha ha. 2:58 "designed to make climber's fall". That's the flip side to visualization. Cool vid and Adam is a meticulous and methodical machine-the new 3M? :)-

[@kptain.kanopee]

Can't wait to see you in Toulouse ;-) Allez Adam !!!

[@blackmass5846]

You my friend are amazing truly gift from god to the world

[@tacticalchunder1207]

Adam is a climbing genius.

[@jason.miles31]

Do you recognize all the hold shapes from previous routes? I'm curious if they ever use brand new or custom holds.

[@Ludix147]

There are a couple brands that are widely used, but there are also a lot of new holds. For example in China, they use a lot of local suppliers which the European climbers don't know that well.

[@pavelbelik6174]

Do climbers really share their observation notes in the isolation zone? :-o It really surprises me. Thought the isolation zone is just a mostly silent pack of nervous people rehersing moves in their heads. Do all climbers in the isolation zone draw their own sketches like Adam? Next time I'm watching World Cup, I'll know Adam is somewhere in the isolation zone, sketching :)). SO cool!

[@MigguGamer]

I think he did the sketch for the sake of the video

[@TojfelO11]

@@MigguGamer I saw Adam draw similar sketch from a normal Route So it's not only competition thing

[@felixd1127]

Pavel Bělík Adam once told me after a lecture that (if I remember correctly) there are two climbers who can this kind of detailed drawing of a route: he and Jakob Schubert. and, everyone can look at the topo. Very fair attitude...👍

[@connorcmedia]

Ondra: “Hardcore.” Also Ondra: Gets the route.

[@timsimpson3820]

3:22 Adam looks like he is dancing

[@JayBeeProduction]

Lezení mě vůbec nezajímá, ale tohle video jsem dokoukal.

[@iliyanmarkov]

Adam, you didn't clip the first quickdraw. Please, don't get disqualified again...

[@idoruZe]

RIght foot at 6:51 - i know a comp route would not have the brown hold, but would this be allowed? Just curious - love this serious and you are an inspiration Adam!

[@RedX2276]

There isn't really a way to avoid it and he's also not using it at all. He maybe brushed it but it doesn't look like it to me

[@ctomz.]

NEW VID YAY cant wait to watch :)

[@ramatioran]

for climbers who started training with spary wall most of the time will have much better memory for routes from my expirience

[@polgzz]

Wow, what a brain... 👌

[@MrHeliosoul]

Superhuman!

[@Pela_patate]

Is this typical for a professional climber or just a particular ability that only few have (like Adam)?

[@zigarozi]

Maybe he sees more details and quicker understands how to climb it, but I would say its basic thing to be able to remmeber the route and have some idea of the moves.

[@kunx104]

Yoo thats insane

[@paddyladdie.]

Corey Taylor's neck ain't got nothing on Ondra's.

[@tobiasbrunner4720]

What about Corpsegrinder?

[@parkerevans1356]

I wasn’t expecting to see a Cory Taylor reference here

[@chaseramos4865]

i have a hard time remembering the holds on a boulder problem

[@mirthfulmiasma]

his head look like wee wee in thumbnail xD! excvellent vid bro

[@dalis994]

One word: otheworldy

[@alexjoz]

Are all the climbers make own sketches or someone draws with help of other to be totally precise? I think everybody has own secret idea and ace in the hole for the key point of the route anyway =)

[@YESHUA_is_king_21]

🙏

[@Ponem]

Skipped the first clip, DQ

[@d7ark]

I'm curious. IFSC rules state that competitors must clip Protection Points in sequence. Is breaking this rule something that get people actually disqualified? I'm pretty sure I've seen climbers skip a clip in IFSC competitions. Plus does the sequence has to start with the first Protection Point?

[@zulazfar]

@@d7ark yes to both

[@martinnagelsdiek4134]

What do you use Asana for?

[@johnathanflannagan2407]

I just have no patience and want to tackle the wall. I just stare at the wall pretending like I'm figuring it out, but I just want to cliiimb haha. I'm new asf though so the hype is real.

visualization trick: XXXL Neck

[@frankwoods135]

Visualization is a crucial part of life if anybody is reading this go and read the book think and grow rich it's not actually about money it's about self-improvement

[@Carlos-cm5si]

It's practice the hability of being able to memorize aaaall the sequence? I've been climbing for almost a year and I can't memorize almost anything

[@zzzzz2582]

3:21 joker anyone?

[@zzzzz2582]

Also damn Adam and team, you've no idea how much this videos have helped me improve. Thanks for taking the time to do them!

[@geoffreybush2997]

You're not allowed to shoot a video of the route with your phone during observation?

[@Habhome]

Of course not, that would essentially give you more observation time than your competitors and make it much easier to start late.

[@RonaldoMessina]

No phones allowed

[@Sim-wi1lt]

Thanks for English

Check one of his other videos where he is climbing in Germany, there he is talking with the other guy in German
