Adam Ondra #65: Bohemian Rhapsody 9a+ / The Hardest Route In Bohemia

ČESKÉ TITULKY JSOU DOSTUPNÉ V NASTAVENÍ VIDEA
Understandably, I just had to return back to Roviště and finish the big project. As you could see in last week's episode, I got quite close, falling off in the last hard move before the route gets easier, but there is still one more 7C+ boulderproblem guarding the anchor. To make things more dramatic, conditions were not ideal with continuous rain showers throughout the whole day. Check out the epic circumstances while finally making the first ascent of Bohemian Rhapsody, the hardest route in Bohemia.

I had never before heard the growl of the ondra 6:37 David attenborough should make a documentary about the behaviour of the ondra on rocks in the wild

[@moritzhellmann4061]

The music editing was so dope on this one

[@xavier4728]

Yep I love it too

[@sourisgogo]

Love soup

[@TheKtchevelle]

@@oooohlongjohn6468 do you know the name of the song at 3:40

[@ChurchOfThought]

Agree. Matches Ondra's intensity. Very Hans Zimmerish. Reminds me of Interstellar suspense scenes

[@emilyb9251]

I feel like Adam should be in an anatomy textbook... He's not classically buff, but at 2:23 you can see every muscle in the human body

[@That-Truck-Guy22]

Yeah, he's lean as fuck! I would kill for a body like that...might have to take up climbing 🤣

[@Strade8]

I think he has some more that I don't have

[@bastouflette2552]

Are you happy now with the next episode? At the end you have the front side which is as lean as the back. So impressive !

[@ninjamuffin289]

@@That-Truck-Guy22 Dude he used to be a rail, he's thicc now

[@Namaster88]

Lmao "not buff", try to achieve this muscle mass with such a low body fat, I can assure you it’s not easy...

[@ericconnor3728]

I love it when routes are shown from different angles and all attempts are shown. It allows me to kinda gauge each move. If I only watch the send I have almost no idea how hard each move is.

[@jonathanharris1709]

I love watching him fall - he does it so well. It doesn't phase him at all and he is so relaxed. Obviously amazing to watch him climb too, but that seems god-like and unattainable for folk like me. Maybe I can fall like him though.

[@emilyb9251]

he's relaxed... unless he falls right before the end and then screams super loud in frustration

[@malteschaper3782]

Wanted to write the same thing. Adam can climb, sure, but he can fall, too. Shout out to the person belaying.

[@danielbuijs8647]

The route was so hard they named a song after it

[@oneproblematatime3474]

3:00 I love these little rants lol

[@nicklott9476]

I think it's because they are always so relatable

Great athlete and great representative of the Czech Republic. Thank you, Adam, and stay strong.

[@Tondadrd]

Even the swearing is accurate :D Not in this video though, he was too polite...

[@szkleni]

That full crimp and body positioning at 2:17 is just awesome. My favourite part of this video.

[@krischi_mk]

[@jellevm]

Those shoulders uggh

[@erezaidlin874]

He is looking even more ripped than normal.

[@adrianbenson28]

I remember a time when, if I watched an Ondra video, I was semi expecting to see a spindly limb snap under the strain. Now I fear for the rock.

[@tambling3961]

8:21 so 25 6C Boulderproblems to the Crux, then a traverse into another 7C Boulderproblem. Must be nice to be able to think: "Okay I can do this." :)

[@lebikSNB]

6C or Harder

[@RedX2276]

Dont forget that the dropknee section is an 8A boulder.

[@petrmichalik2199]

While raining

[@mareksedlak4108]

Petr Michalik Well the route itself is slightly overhanging, so I don’t think it would affect the conditions too much. Maybe just the higher humidity, like Adam mentioned.

[@RedX2276]

@@mareksedlak4108 in his Instagram post he said it was fine up until a sloper in the last couple moves was a little wet and he nearly fell

[@meyburgh]

Very good!! So precise! Well done Adam. Stay safe all people.

[@ZerofromtheStart]

just watching him search for a good grip at 06:37 had me nervous. so close to the top and it looks like he can't find a good hold.

[@alhensouher]

[@alijahanshahi6689]

Your videos like this are very pleasant and spreading healthy motives.

[@agerbak]

Congrats, Adam. And congrats to the film-makers - as a photographer, I especially liked the textures in the first part of this episode!

[@alec4441]

When they show the full traverse, you just know the attempt is going to be a send!!

[@michalifabian9646]

Such a cool route!! The video really portrays the moves well.

[@ryanwsu4]

thanks adam for continuing to post stuff to help keep everyones psych up for when the world opens back up

[@da5ke]

just great to watch this , in times the gyms are cloused ..!

[@lev4392]

I've been avoiding watching rock climbing videos because I haven't been able to go due to COVID19 and I thought it would make me upset. But this actually made me feel a lot better.

[@davehause8571]

Could this be the only 9a+ route with a ledge fall potential?

[@Jookyforever]

Anyone know why this Czech route is allowed to be bolted, but others are not?

[@Whiteblooder]

This is a granite sport climbing crag. Limitations for bolting are just in traditional sandstone climbing areas.

[@MultiJounas]

Dá se lézt i v lomu Velká Amerika? Nebo je to příliš nestabilní? Tuhle sem tam byl a koukal jsem na ty stěny a jsou fakt vysoký a zajímavý. Tak by mě zajímalo, jestli se dá něco takového vylézt nebo je to totální blbost:)

who cleans these routes once you go up? or just free clips for the next ascent? ^^

He actualy downclimbed the whole thing using the clips and took them all off. That process itself is fun to watch

[@warptens5652]

6:32 Why'd you unclip that?

[@WatchingTheOcean]

It's to reduce rope drag

[@johnsimcox1139]

@@WatchingTheOcean Wow. I've never seen that. I don't think I'll ever be close to that level.

[@RedX2276]

@@johnsimcox1139 it's just because the line traverses so much. You can see that the rope was taking like a 90 degree angle through the draw he unclips. Usually you'd just extend the draw so it has more room to take a direct path, but it looks like theres a ledge below that he wouldn't want to fall on so it would be dangerous to extend
