Adam Ondra #62: Forgotten Project In Smith Rock

[@kritischparken]

so blessed for these videos! not a lot of sports can say that their best athlete is giving insight to his mindset!

[@motaman8074]

I LOVE Adams' never quit attitude. One of the many things that make him the best.

[@christianburrell5564]

It’s all good. He just made that project LEGENDARY!!! Every young, powerful kid in the area will obsess over sending the climb that Adam couldn’t do.

[@alexbarcovsky4319]

Anyone has an idea if its been freed? Or still not?

[@bowinkle2206]

@@alexbarcovsky4319 that's the problem, if only half of us had the money to get there to try it.

[@robertmorales8432]

How is no one talking about how Adam said that the routes bolted by Alan Watts could potentially be 9c. Thats coming from Adam!!

[@orangeblade2]

Love the comparison of footage from attempts side by side.

[@richardfredlund3802]

i really like this multiple attempts footage. it gives a real insight and is fun to watch.

[@jrblackify]

Spoiler: Adam made a video about a climb where he went 3 meters up and fell off... 8 times. And still it's a good video.

[@injusticeforallmaheu5354]

To me I admire him for showing his failures and let’s us know it’s ok .

[@sammymartinez763]

“You need a lot of endurance, you need to stay confident and calm” Ok so you’re telling me don’t go

[@injusticeforallmaheu5354]

Thank you Adam it’s so refreshing to see an honest video . Some night only show the last climb when they succeeded . As you know few successes don’t require failure as learning .

[@sgtpepperCZE]

Adame, díky moc! Nejsem lezec a tvůj sport sleduju spíš jen proto, že lezl můj táta. Ale tahle videa jsou úžasný nakopávák, který ukazuje, jak lze dosáhnout cílů, i když je to velmi obtížné a vyžaduje to několik pokusů. Ještě jednou dík za super motivačku!

[@MANIRES]

awesome to see some failure too! This makes the sends so much more valuable, great attitute adam and awesome series!

I live near smith rock, I hike there a lot and the view is always amazing

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

Only Adam can find a knee-bar at Smith. Fun fact: the corner to the left on the Awl is a 10c first climbed by Bill Ramsey in 1961, making it one of the hardest routes in the U.S. at the time.

[@Ravenblues]

10c?! Is it a polished marble slab?

[@jimbojet8728]

[@marcvdm1111]

somehow satisfying to see a video on an unfinished project, which shows Adam is not afraid to show these situations as well (which are a fact of life). Pretty sure he will make the climb if he ever returns

[@charlesgress4587]

I grew up around smith rock, had no idea the legend it was, really wish I coulda met a climber then, I'm 34 about to start. Now I live in Virginia.......

I love smith rock. I live 40 minutes away from it, too bad its closed right now

[@ItsNotAllRainbows_and_Unicorns]

Closed down because of the virus I assume. I guess they don't trust people to follow social distancing. What could be more refreshing and healthy than a nice walk in the park away from everyone else.

[@disgruntledwookie369]

Imagine closing nature... what a messed up world we live in

Atleast with what I've felt with so far, some people over here are not social distancing well. It's a shame, I would love to go

Dunno about that, he drops the brake side of the rope about 15s later..and makes other mistakes too, too much slack at 3:42, probable thumb blocking the cam, hope he's not Adam's regular belayer.

[@pavelbelik6174]

@@sherwoac The belayer is Adam's manager Pavel Blažek. He belays him from time to time. However Adam's main belayer is the world's best belayer Iva Vejmolová. You can see more in that in other Adam's recent video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIeolJeLlNaifNk

Nothing to do with the climb, but whats up with the moving blured part of the image throughout the beggining of the video? Curious about it, since if it was a sensor with dust or something , it wouldnt look like that. Thanks for another beautiful video.

why not show the full climb at the end? i wanted to see him make the hold

[@formfeelfn]

Great episode. I wouldn't say now or never. Hope you make it back there to send that route in better conditions. Just a matter of time.

[@audetetvincit]

As far as I know, this project lies waiting and still isn’t getting tried. I walk by it occasionally on my way to backside crags. It’s a super cool but somewhat random feature. Not striking or anything. Except now that Adam has tried it, there’s a legendary air to it that’s undeniable. Smith innovation stalled after Drew Ruana left and hasn’t really awakened again. There’s a ton of new stuff - expansion to other crags such as the Marsupials. But this isn’t cutting edge in terms of the grades, although the potential obviously exists for climbs 9c and harder - even on the frontside! Left of Scarface is perhaps a 5.16. And the new crags have 9a and harder that are possible. Do we need Seb? The tradition of the French setting American’s standards continues - Supreme Jumbo Love. Just like when it was JB Tribout establishing Just Do It.

[@sendmorecondor]

Any guesses on what grade that project is?

[@ochoymedio78]

it says on the video 9a/5.14d?

[@krischaberlinger8625]

sun hits the rock, adam hisses like a vampire.

[@SpeciP1]

Can anyone tell me how they always get the quickdraws into the bolts before they climbed the route please ?

[@GUIHTD]

Probably, they rappel down from the top, clipping in the draws on the way down. If that's not an option, you can clip the draws while checking out the moves in the beginning. At least, that's what I would do.

[@petarchalamov]

Wow. Those quarantine videos are simply amazing!! Almost wishing the virus stays longer :p

[@bike.mp3]

I really like your commentary on the climbing. Yet is does most of the time spoil/reveal the outcome of the climb before it finishes and thereby making a bit less exciting. For example you already reveal that you are going to fall off before you actually do, or you sound dissapointed so I know you are not gonna make it that try. Anyone else have that?

[@erickaeuffling]

The performance should not be the goal, on the contrary, it is a dead end voice, which leads only to its ego. Watch how judo, a defense-based discipline, turns into a sport. It is not Judo, and the "do" the way which transcends a sport in discipline disappears. This is how we pervert things. Climbing aimlessly other than succeeding is a waste of time. La performance ne doit pas etre le but, au contraire, c'est une voix sans issue, qui ne mène qu'à son ego. Regardez comment le judo, une discipline basé sur la défense, qui se transforme en sport. Ce n'est plus du Judo, et le "do" la voie qui transcende un sport en discipline disparaît. Voilà comment on pervertit les choses. La grimpe sans but autre que de réussir est une perte de temps.

[@SWIFTY_WINS]

What I don't get is why these guys talk like there's only one set in stone move list to be followed for each individual project.. Like if a person bolts a new route and is the first to send it, then when people ask him/her about it they tell them move by move what they did and it sounds like everyone thinks they have to then exactly copy that move list from the guy who sent it before them. That's all well and good to learn about a set of moves that ended up working out for the last guy, but just because someone did a left handed crimp on the 4th move or something it doesn't mean that you still couldn't approach each different zone of the route in your own way. At the end of the day I'd think you'd want to just study the route but then make your own personal edits and even bypass certain moves if possible, like if you were strong enough to dino straight up by 2'-3' and the guy before you couldn't do that maybe you could skip 2 entire moves that the guy before you did by creating your own shortcut of sorts. So with so many possibilities in front of each climber it just surprises me to hear someone this skilled talking about exactly mimicking previously created move lists move for move like he's got no other choice but to complete the route exactly how someone else told him he should do it... Why couldn't you just approach each climb like a fresh palate and create your own move list and your own slightly different path through the climb based on your style and preferences?
