"A sling in the first bolt means it's a project, and you have to get it done !" Adam Ondra 2019, future Olympic Champion.

[@montagnevelo1]

What does that specific expression mean at the end of the video i don’t get it? They always leave a sling in first bolt when its a project or what?

[@AB8511]

@@montagnevelo1 In Slovakia when you set and bolt the route you can put the sling to the first bolt. It signals to the other climbers that route is new and you as a route setter have one year to make first ascent - this is your reward for time, energy, skill and money you put into the route setting. If you can not climb the route within one year you have to remove the sling and route is open to anynone. This route is over 20 years old, so Adam mention it symbolically in the meaning still unclimbed. Sling in the first bolt can also indicate that route is freshly rebolted and glue is not yet totally firm, or the route is somehow unsafe. In either case it is a signal not to climb...

I realised that between your two attempts in the afternoon you only had a 10 minute break. Would love to see a video one day where you explain how much resting time between your attempts you take and why or how your general time-management looks like (on different route types/boulders and the different resting time between checking out the moves and attempts). Thank you!

[@leoingson]

Only few moves. I think this was about skin and conditions.

[@biltongandboba]

I think it was because of him having not as much time. If it was still quite bright he would have probably waited longer.

[@jessebclimbs]

As a climber who spends a lot of time climbing on sharp, limestone, 1 and 2 finger pockets, I'm very curious why you wouldn't tape up your fingers for those monos? Normally I'll avoid tape if the holes are small enough that tape makes my finger too thick to fit the pocket, or if the friction is really bad and I need the better friction of my skin, but in other instances I'll tape up. I'm curious what Adam's thoughts were as to why he wouldn't tape up for two mono's that he knew were there, seemed large enough that a layer of tape wouldn't have affected his ability to get his fingers inside, and looked sharp enough to have good friction?

[@rochoddo5380]

Cause this is 2 moves mono pocket which make 9a+, no way they are sharp or he could campus it. They look shallow af, tape would have make it much harder I guess.

Why does the sling on the first bolt means that this is a project?

[@lebikSNB]

Its a tradition to leave small sling hanging in the first bolt of an uncilimbend project and is cut of after first ascent.

[@leoingson]

@@snowmilk2240 Sling means reserved to project for some time (depending on area, maybe 2y).

If a hold cuts your finger, I would think it's fine to smooth it out on the inside. Or is that sacrilegious?

It qualifies as chipping. If anyone found out, you'd likely get barred for life from the area.

[@schluppvomgrunenstern7394]

Nice video and looks like a pretty hard route. But I think you'll send it. But there is one mistake, like in every climbing movie from pros. The quick draws are preclipped, but that's not red point, it's pink point. Same mistake is in the movie rotpunkt with Alex Megos. I can imagine why the quick draws are always preclipped, but for red point you have to bring all the gear up. Enjoy the break from the hard season and take a good rest.

[@TrackpadProductions]

Pinkpointing is pretty much exclusively a trad thing. Sport has very different ethics. Perhaps you'd get naysayers decades ago, when it was still nascent, and people didn't really understand the difference between the two. But in modern sport climbing, no one cares if you pre-clip draws on a project. The pros don't do it because you _don't have to do it anymore._

Did you guys improve the protection standards to modern (much less adventorous :) ? 15 years ago you could shit your pants on half of the routes :)

[@TheMojmo]

@@kriszteblade I am not sure about Sulov. Many popular climbing areas in Slovakia do re-new bolts but usually don't add new ones especially on 'classic climbs'. At my local climbing spot there are many routes with few 3-4 bolts on 15-20m, because that is how they were bolted and climbed for decades.

[@SeraphinoII]

@@paolomarcotulli2388 Vecchia questione, viene considerato flash, o a vista, anche con i rinvii su. L'importante è che non lo faccia tu di mettere i rinvii, sennò non puoi fare flash ma solo redpoint. è comunque considerato "a vista" poichè è effettivamente la prima volta che tu quella via la vedi e la provi. Se poi vuole far tornare la definizione di flash come "salgo mentre mi metto i rinvii e non mi fermo" allora le consiglio di cominciare a fare gli 8c a vista. Fino a che qualcuno non ne dimostrerà la fattibilità direi che verrà considerato fatto "a vista" anche con i rinvii preposizionati.
