Adam Ondra #72: Inside Adam's Backpack / Adam reveals his gear

ČESKÉ TITULKY JSOU DOSTUPNÉ V NASTAVENÍ VIDEA
The next episode is on! This time it is more educative, less action as I will talk about the gear I always bring to the crag. It is quite obvious that I always bring the rope or quickdraws. Other pieces might be more surprising, but often almost equally important.

Adam talks about warming up....and the first clip that follows....a 1 arm pull-up on a full crimp. #warmupgoals

[@christiangmw3941]

I was really happy he mentioned the shovel. Leave no Trace is absolutely vital to avoid conflicts with the locals.

[@chaosengine4597]

...and with nature.

[@Mike-oz4cv]

If there is soil there is usually also a stick lying around you can easily use instead of the shovel. So I think the shovel is unnecessary.

It would be really interesting to me what and when you eat. Thank you so much for your great videos!

[@CoNFiiDeNTiiAL]

Magnus midtbo avoids this subject because be feels a lot of top level climbers have eating disorders in order to maintain their weight. Some times it is bad for people to share their diet with impressionable people

[@songfortwomusic9278]

@@CoNFiiDeNTiiAL Yes, I get that. But as a fellow sporty person and climber it is just an interesting topic.

[@vixeno]

It would be interesting.

[@SollithGaming]

@@CoNFiiDeNTiiAL Yeah, while it would be interesting, many pro level athletes have professional nutritionists that monitor their intake of food and advise them on what they specifically need. In some cases (like that one Nike sponsored group), the leadership of a team of athletes aren't even being advised by a proper nutritionist and just purely calorie count, which actually ends up being extremely detrimental to the athlete's performance (lighter isn't always better). If Ondra has a professional nutritionist as part of his comp arsenal, could be interesting to have an interview just to at least see some these "behind the scenes" players, or maybe they could just interview and discuss the subject with some general nutritionists or something too. I know the "Gym Climber" magazine did an article on granola bars at the gym last year, but also don't know if the information was scientifically backed or just conjecture supported by loose general facts or whatever. So, could do something similar where they look at the general nutrition of various granola bars and the needs and timing of different nutrients for climbers, which could avoid more general "meal" discussions altogether. Some articles on the subject though if anyone wants to read a bit (one is a climber, the other a runner): www.outsideonline.com/2411201/beth-rodden-climbing-body-image www.nytimes.com/2019/11/07/opinion/nike-running-mary-cain.html

I’m not a climber but I’ve been watching Adam for about six months now and I love his videos. The first I saw was la dura dura which really blew me away and if you haven’t watched it please do. His ability is second to none and he’s funny and intelligent and interesting to listen to, when I’m awake at night and can’t sleep I find watching climbing really takes my mind off things and chills me out. Keep up the great work Adam :)

Adam sounds so cool and friendly. I always enjoy watching him climbing or talking about climbing. Also instead to other climbers at least it looks like he is saying the truth about his gear and what he is doing / carrying. Not just talking bs about stuff he got from his sponsors. Respect!

[@briseboy]

Climbers tend to be that way, excepting only the unpleasantly competitive ones - Robbins was the original latter I know of.

[@mszymkowski]

Man, cool backpack!

[@stephenpeace5540]

Wise words!

[@mrmoorash]

I would recommend short nylon socks (which girls are using) instead of plastic bags or plastic pieces. I discovered that recently, and this turned to be an excellent thing not only for brand-new shoes (easy slip-in and take off), but also for a permanent use - currently i feel like legs are less smashed after a long climbing session, and shoes remain more clean inside and lasts longer.

[@philipppuchner1115]

that is because a way larger than expected part of the "discomfort" of a climbing shoe is the friction inside the shoe between your foot and the shoe. Plastic on top of the foot or thin socks with low friciton provice less friction between your curled up toes and the upper of the toe box of the shoe. Means: It feels better overall. Also the little adaptive volume of the sock around your foot can make the fit of the shoe better, since no climbing shoe fits your feet 100%. Breaking them in and climbing makes it better, that's one reason why climbing shoes get more comfortable over time (not only because the shoes stretch and your feet increase pain resistance). At least that's what I think and information i came across until now.

[@spaghettihair]

Oh yeah, Ondra always brings his #8 with him...

What is ridiculous is BD has a great assisted lock device, the Pilot, which is far more appropriate for single pitch projects than a basic tube. One big advertisement despite the early disclaimer.

[@Mike-oz4cv]

Why wouldn’t he?

[@proto8632]

Everyone knows that he actually uses a GriGri (just like the vast majority of the pro climbers) but because it's not a BD product he didn't show or mention it.

[@pavelbelik6174]

He said it is a sponsored video AND that he recommends only things he believes are good. Does not mean he must use it. However I use atc guide for many years and I can recommend it too.

[@TrackpadProductions]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who prefers hybrid/mixed draws. I usually get a lot of shit from people about that =P

[@Cacovangor]

Mixed draws are fantastic due to ease of hanging a keylock on a bolt due to simplicity of the closure (as well as removal from the bolt) and clipping a rope on the lighter wiregate. Most folks who give you flack probably never contemplated the draw before choosing and have since grown accustomed or are using double wires with dyneema even though you don’t want em for sport, in part to what Adam noted but also the likelihood of falls and wear on gear plus grabbing dogbones is a thing.

[@briseboy]

You mean since the beginning of the video? Or since he was 7?

He said somewhere that for big climbs he needs to lose weight (muscles) so I think it's controlled and changes during the year

[@KingPing1989]
