Adam Ondra #69: Belly Full of Bad Berries 8a (5.13b) / uncut with commentary

[@matthebat100]

"Reached this glorious jug" ... More like a horrible sloper to me lol

[@AndrewShusterman]

Lmaoo it’s just the angle though

[@SyRyanYang]

You know what they say, one man's jug is another man's sloper.

[@leeevans6213]

Lol i thought the same

[@giacomocasanova2893]

it‘s positive and wide which makes it a technically a jug

[@silentdiscretion2657]

I thought that same thing but then the far-off camera angle showed, and you can see just how deep and positive it is. The top camera angle makes it look almost nonexistent

[@antoniocesardecarvalhovian5670]

I love these uncut commentaries! Really gives a window into the perspective of the climber, please do more

[@blaimcgowan]

Agreed. These are great!

[@Takticals]

Yes,so many videos are completely cut up in editing,I like the raw footage

[@johnmcmillen4540]

second this! Great stuff. Do it more often please.

[@liam_hurlburt]

I wish BD hadn't felt the need to spray about their new cams at 1:47 though. That's just tacky. The text at 1:31 and 2:09 was superfluous too. Other than that this would be a really awesome video, a 16 minute glimpse into Adam's genius. Oh well

[@lorenzomutal725]

Agreed! Do more!

[@petersotherland9230]

“At this point it stopped being fun.” Lol

[@secret5.]

Basically every crack I've climbed after 10ft.

[@micahreyes6414]

Was hoping someone put this in the comments lol

[@08Shade80]

@@secret5. You have to climb more cracks then! Nothing more fun than cruising up a crack with bomber hand jams

[@secret5.]

@@08Shade80 I've been told that for many years, it's never come to fruition.

[@ABSVabeautifulsunsetvlog]

Secret ! Right?

[@Bhanupratapsingh-jb2nk]

He was on the wall for freakin ~12 mins. This is insane endurance and will to fight.

[@theopinson3851]

I mean that’s actually pretty short for a trad climb but 12 min of 5.13 OW...yeah.

[@paulelderson934]

As said in Reel Rock: "it's like ultimate fighting with a rock"

[@davidorellana314]

you know its a super exhausting route when Adam barely celebrates Absolutely insane route. Cant believe I havent seen this video before!

[@theodavidson3285]

Cool to see Mari climb this on the wideboys channel and then come back to this!!

[@lvl300mrmime]

Mari's send was awesome!

[@xinyuncao660]

Just realized maybe the fact that it makes people wanna vomit is why it's called "Belly Full of Bad Berries" :0

[@dampwool2000]

Hear after having watched Mari flash this, OMG that woman is amazing.

[@olivierlessard6783]

This is the first time I've seen Ondra out of his comfort zone. Nice.

[@gerlee04]

STUNNING!!! The left handle at 12:32 is incredible!!! 😱💪

[@andreadanieli6192]

Literally, climbing with nails! Really impressive!

[@grimlund]

What handhold?

[@noahcrossingham9523]

I think this film is fantastic! The uncut footage with commentary is really engaging. I learnt a lot. Also I love it when you say heinous, I haven't heard anyone say that since Bill and Ted!

[@johntuttle9544]

Its a more modern version of...Jingus!

[@Presence_o_Mind]

Lol. Great comment.

[@jefferypinley4336]

At my home crag (Smith rock) one of the 4 star climbs is called heinous cling, so it's a frequently used term in our vernacular (:

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

Ondra uses the word sometimes, and it's perfect, because if he's describing something as heinous, it must be absolutely fucking horrific.

[@johnm9709]

Great film. Makes Pete Whittakers on sight seem like an incredible achievement.

[@clementg9754]

This was soooooo intense ! You adaptated your voice to the moment to make us struggleing with you, it was an awesome movie ! Thanks for that Adam and thanks to your team !

[@szkleni]

This was intense! Honestly, I never tried crack climbing. But after watching many videos from Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker and now here is this send as well, my appetite came for it.

[@Breeelax]

It's basically suffering with extra steps. But I won't kink shame anyone.

[@bizmonkey007]

If you can practice it in a gym, give it a shot. Out in the wild, even bouldering, it can be incredibly hard and intimidating; it’s a different beast entirely. If you have a lot of other climbing experience (judging by your profile, it seems like you do) the transition should be easier.

[@szkleni]

@@Breeelax Suffering is good! :D

[@szkleni]

@@bizmonkey007 Thank you for the advice! There are some crack routes at my favourite bouldering area, I think I will try it there. Why climb indoors,if the weather is nice? ;)

[@szkleni]

@@YannCamusBlissClimbing Thank you very much, these are useful!

[@ExpatMoe]

Love these videos with your own commentary, makes them much more interesting

[@HRRRRRDRRRRR]

"Belly Full of Bad Berries" Well that looks aptly named.

[@carl8568]

🤢

[@TedWillingham]

This is way better than the typical content on this channel! I'd kill for more of this whole-climb narrated footage

[@davidturner5312]

¨Para vomitar¨ Don´t puke haha. Awesome send

[@hellninnja]

This is why Adam won IFSC Climbing World Cup Meiringen 2019 (Boulder)

[@janvacek8046]

For those who didn't see it, here is the most hilarious final ever. Starts at 1:53:30, but I would recomend watching the whole final boulder, becouse it shows how the brilliant japanese team struggled with hand jaming and then Adam showed up... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYqTgnmieK6jfKs

[@jakubsuchy6327]

@@janvacek8046 thanks for the link. I also recommend to see the whole thing at M4: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYqTgnmieK6jfKs

[@chaosengine4597]

I thought the last part was a section for his fellow climbers / competitors to lear how to crag...

[@avavancil7806]

Hi Adam, I just wanted to say that you inspire me to do the impossible. I am fourteen years old and I recently fractured my leg in a bouldering fall. Watching your videos makes me so psyched. Thank you so much for the climbing!

[@jameshutton165]

I really love the way this is shot and narrated. Really gives you a sense of the climb as a whole.

[@kevans1716]

Im stoked you get out of your comfort zone so often for the love if climbing!

[@markroach4383]

Climbers. Are. From. A. Different. Planet. Period.

[@jhy8191]

I’m used to seeing you work hard and suffer but this took it to another level. Amazing send!

[@Parkour96MK]

I was waiting for this video. Such an amazing climb. Thanks for sharing! :)

[@jakeweeks]

Amazing camera work, being able to see the jams and how you work them into place is key.

[@escaladaseguraamimanera3621]

Adam es uno de mis escaladores favoritos, no solo por sus capacidades para la escalada, sino por sus cualidades como persona.

[@lionelinx7]

The fact that mari salvesan flashed this now is crazy

[@christopherdavidhall]

Dayum. These makes Pete Whitakers on-sight seem all the more impressive! Awesome stuff! 😁

[@lucasfritch1705]

Probably my new favorite climbing video! I love the footage with Ondra’s voice over it talking us through the climb. So cool! Everything you could want from a climbing video.

[@yannickbovier3915]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!! I love these uncut footage with commentaries ! I was really feeling this pain in your legs for you !

[@NecumNaTo]

My socks are completely wet now. Thanks, Adam.

[@pedrourcola6288]

Awesome video. I love Adam's fighting spirit. It is so inspirational.

[@uthikoloshe]

This is how to make a climbing movie. World class athlete. Showing world class dont give up. Then telling us the story in a way that helps us capture the difficulty.

[@MsVenomz]

This descriptive commentary is what I’m all about

[@bloodiger1]

Literally forgot to breathe watching this. Absolutely insane. Adam, you are a true inspiration, mate.

[@ericwood319]

holly crap that is the hardest fight i have seen in a climb. thats what makes adam so fun to watch . The fight

[@androgynousmaggot9389]

Seeing Adam struggle makes Mari Salvesen flash, even more impressive! Big props to the Big-O, the best and most versatile climber of our times!

[@Jarl-toll]

I think these was the best Video from you these year! It is realy exciting!!

[@kasparondrej2938]

I had to pause the video a couple of times because I was tired just watching that! Amazing job, Adam!

[@khetaglagkuev6001]

A man of focus, commitment and sheer will

Reaaaaaaaaaaaaally entertaining video! The HD quality, the commentary, stuff showing on screen... Absolutely unparalled work.

[@technodromen]

*looking at arms* "sooooo, you do a lot of heroin?" "no, I climb off-width"

[@DrMack9696]

"Heroine? Are you crazy!? I only do crack"

[@rushthezeppelin]

Just crack climbing in general will do that. I was working on an offwidth roof boulder a few days ago. Hands are covered in gobies. Left knee and calf are all scrapped up. Man I love crack lol.

[@Oclb]

I saw Alex do this and I was like “wtf why is he upside down for a crack?” Thanks to Adam I find out so so much

[@ggreyshade]

thank you adam for sharing and explaining the perspective of climbing something like this. i am a novice gym sport climber and the best ive been able to manage is 6b so far.. so i appreciate the context and deep explanation of tackling such an obstable. thank you and please keep climbing.

such a battle! GG, well done, enjoyed watching that a lot!

[@inkwhir]

Wow, so much tension in this video, I LOVED IT!!

[@tomasnozka1]

Ještě nikdy jsem Tě neviděl až takhle hotového! Very good job. Tady vypadáš jako jeden z nás 🙂

[@Table.Fables]

Love your videos Adam! It’s helping keep the sport alive for me while we’re in lockdown (can’t wait to get back to the climbing centre!) cheers

[@souleymanediarra5565]

The best climber is the one who tries to improve the most, total respect to mr Ondra. Nb. The muscles of the lower forearm attach to the palm side of the fingertips and keep you attached with crimping whereas the muscles of the upper forearm (closer to the elbow attach nearer the palm side of the knuckles and are used to clench a fist hence Adam's observation regarding the difference with crack climbing.

[@laurentdavou]

Thank you very much! Very well done again.

[@oscarh3419]

*_Increíble si no lo hubiese visto no lo creería que si se puede subir._* *¡Felicitaciones, lo máximo en climbing!*

[@石山隆-w5r]

Its the first time for you to have such a painful smile and a wandereul smile!!!

[@jmy106]

You are incredibly articulate (more than most native English speakers) - I think that must be a part of why you are a great climber; you can rationalize and describe everything and therefore overcome it.

[@beppe9638]

It looks like the incarnation of pain

[@DaCo8311]

Incredible... Thank you for the commentaries

[@music4lifesux]

Such a great video, great commentary, nail biter crux, epic finish, and shows how off-width can exhaust even the best climber in the world. Your face was so red I thought you might explode hahaha
