Adam Ondra #68: Brutal Rider 8C+ / Czechia's Hardest Boulderproblem

[@leaksfoos]

I wish I trusted anything as much as Adam trusts that knee bar.

[@TristanCleveland]

The 3:00 minute mark is peak-Ondra.

[@vashusan1984]

LOL

[@bizmonkey007]

Tristan Cleveland That’s a pretty badass moment. Even with the knee pads it’s still amazing how he just keeps himself on the rock.

[@TristanCleveland]

@@bizmonkey007 It's cool how he developed that talent to prepare for Silence, and now he has it as a super power for other hard problems.

Showing the cleanup of the setup was an instant like.

[@Squids_Vlogs]

Should left it and dumped a bunch of nuclear waste too

[@therealdespecialk]

Also to mention that Adam himself helped to clean up and did not leave it to his helpers

[@paulleclerc5381]

Definitly ! And we should all people and especially climbers, leaves ours climbing spots even cleaner than before

Would it count as a flash if he did?

@@alexantone5532 good question. I think it would since it's technically a new route. But I'm no climber, so don't heed me haha

[@turneymckee951]

Hard and beautiful sends are great, but nothing beats watching Adam crush these just grotesque lines

[@moonti6820]

So I don't know if its deliberate or not but "grotesque line" makes a really good play on word (in french at least). "Grotte" means "cave, cavern" in french and adding the suffix "-esque" to a word makes it an adjective. So here the line is "grotesque" as "weird, bizarre" and it's "grottesque" as in "cave-like".

[@boltthrower142]

@@moonti6820 also in italian it sounds like that, "grottesco"

"I've been neglecting hard bouldering for the last 10 years" - Meanwhile has completed numerous hard (>= 8B+) boulders in that time including a flash of Jade. This man's standards are unbelievable.

My wife walked in on me when I watched this. Her facial expression when she heard all the moaning, priceless.

That was epic! That is a monster boulder problem. Also, great ending. Such an ambassador.

The entire sequence starting around 2:50 is just dope. All the knee bars, the music, Adam’s grunts of pure effort. Incredible job

Well done. My wife came home early from work to 3:50 & 4:05 blaring out of my speakers and now I'm grounded off electronics for the week. Thanks a lot.

[@gregborman6299]

Congratulations Adam! Awesome assent. I am even more impressed by the work you put in prepping it. Says a lot that you could get so may family and friends to come and help you make the assent posable. I am also very psyched that you showed the cleanup and stressed how important that is. You are a great role model.

[@Jahsurfer]

Wow, super impressive from a person who has no knowledge of this great sport. The variety of skill sets to accomplish this is amazing. Well done. Climbing coconut and mango trees in JA as a kid was nothing compared to this. Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@ferdinantlaem4069]

It‘s so cool how much work you pur into your videos: So much work for one boulder- not talking about the filming. Awesome!!!

[@pavelbelik6174]

Cool that Adam takes camera crew with him and is not scared to send them back home because it's bad conditions :). Two times.

You're awesome Adam. Glad you're here to inspire us all. Even in the not so good conditions. Keep it up my dude!

[@Im-just-Stardust]

9:58 is a great reminder that even a 2 foot fall, can hit pretty hard. I'm sure Adam felt that one.

You, my friend, are a fine example to others, on what's possible with positivity. Your a champ obviously, but your personal traits, are the makin of a true leader. My kudos to you. Might see you in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney in Aust one day, hopefully. Good climbing mecca. 👍🏻

[@skltr21]

the discipline this dude has to know when to stop is unlike anything i've seen before. Most people would try a million times. try moves over and over to get them dialed. he's that good that he just knows he needs to be absolutely fresh in order to have the physical strength to do it. crazy discipline

[@Mikowhy95]

Adam, great job. I watch your films with admiration. However, I have a word for your companions Pavel Klement, Adam Ligocki and Laco Korbel. When Adam climbs (9:20) or shows something on the wall (13:20), his face is not the most important thing, but his feet and hands, I guess. With a camera on a gimbal, you can always squat and rec something from a bit lower perspective (11:30), am I wrong? ;) All the best!

[@harrytaylor2479]

The kneebar demonstration was just gold

[@jorgeloredo9603]

drew13600 still worth it to see him try! Sometimes it’s okay not to succeed, as long as you try. And Burden of Dreams it’s worth at least touching, even just to honor the beast Nalle climbed

[@Perrseus]

I feel like Adam can't do it

[@adrianmarkelov3470]

Would be awesome to see him try though it's really not his style. His first 9A boulder if he does so would probably more of linkups up really hard boulders. D Wood's is trying something like that in RMNP I think it's like 2 v15s stacked. I bet Ondra will try that one day

Nice video! And talking about cleaning, can you do a video about opening new areas? a mean bolting or cleaning boulders. Because I'm opening a new boulder area near to my house and I guess there are some ecological and cultural criteria to decide if something can be opened or not.
