Adam Ondra's 25 Quickfire Questions with Magnus Midtbø

[@snefansson]

”Jacob doesn’t get the recognition he deserves” One minute later “oh yeah maybe Jacob could be the one to finish it… forgot about him” yeah no shit he gets overlooked 😂

I would fall on a 6c+ too. I'm just like Adam 🤝

[@thesuperchoober]

We all need to go to Croatia to become O1 climbers

[@rafaelmura]

Watching this video you understand why Adam is who he is today in the climbing world, besides being very nice and humble, the guy is OBSESSED with climbing, every second of his life is about this same subject. You notice that when Magnus brings a question that excludes climbing, Adam doesn’t know how to answer, because he only has that (climbing) in his head. Really Adam is one in a million. Congratulations to Adam and Magnus for the excellent video.

[@michaelwilkinson1137]

Noticed the same thing What’s your favourite movie… What’s your favourite song… What’s another hobby you have… Not being able to answer these is why he’s the best climber

[@procerator]

It was 7a kzbin.info/www/bejne/haKVi2etZrqmhMk

[@lonesome3958]

Lmao

[@telkmx]

tbh when you think about it most climbers say that 6a is already hard and thats why even ondra wouldnt risk free soloing anything over 6a. It means he isnt 100% sure he can climb any 6a+ without falling basically

[@janmarecek8473]

@@telkmx I honestly dont think that has anything to do with it. Also what do you mean hard? I dont think most climbers think 6a is hard. But it can defenitely be hard in certain context.

[@telkmx]

@@janmarecek8473 6a is already hard. It just a saying to say that climbing start to be difficult and technical at early levels and need commitment. Tons of high level climbers says it look it up

[@formfeelfn]

I'm psyched he's going to try some V17 boulders! Great interview!

[@davidjones88]

Adam's laugh is so infectious. I'm so happy with all this extra content now that these world class climbers have retired from competition climbing.

[@roadboat2890]

Adam hasn't retired

[@username-lj6tl]

And Magnus is coming out of retirement lol

[@nilsp9426]

He seems so genuinely excited for what he does. Something we should maybe all focus a little more on, instead of thinking about grades, gear, etc.

Cool to see you guys at the hangar in Brno. I was there for the first time yesterday (I live near Jihlava) and it was a bit smaller than I expected, but the route setting was awesome! I only got up to 6c but I had an absolute blast. The staff was really friendly too.

6:30 when the kid climbs up. Tops out and finds two world class climbers. One of them considered the best. Must’ve been a memorable climb 😂

And the intro to xx which I also love

[@adamtravan3946]

At one point Adam ondra was the best comp climber ever. He’s been passed by janjas domination and how the sport has kind of changed. He also at one point was the greatest outdoor climber as well but again other people have caught up or surpassed as they have Smokey focused outdoors.

[@noname252]

awesome video! You guys rock!!!

[@theodorbelveder3350]

Adam didn't mention that he fell on La Marie Rose 6a, Fontainebleau 😅

[@boogaloo4640]

Marie Rose is a boulder, not a route.

[@tektyman]

Intro by The XX is a good answer to a question he didn’t have an answer for!

[@sammathews2460]

Hear that Alex Honnold (and the like), if the great Ondra both said that he fell off a 6b+ and anything over a 6b+ (approx) is too dangerous to free solo, you're pushing your luck son...

Best advice for new climbers? "but maybe if you're climbing 8B, 8C that's not the best advice" yeah new climbers could be climbing 8B, 8C, we're not sure what level new climbers climb exactly

[@jamescrews3516]

Adam is a beast 💪 and an artist to his sport!!

[@biomorphic]

Looks like Adam is not so much optimistic about Ghisolfi progress. Hopefully Stefano will send Silence this year. I really hope Adam is wrong and we'll not have to wait two years. On the other hand it is nice to see Adam talking about Excalibur. At that level a route needs to really fit your style. If it does not, you might not be able to send it. Meanwhile DNA will not be repeated any soon, I am confident B.I.G. will be repeated this or the next year, and most likely downgraded by Seb.

[@krakenattackin7617]

Stefano has a long way to go before sending, he hasn't even done all of the moves...

[@MarioSMG64]

9:25 the fact that Adam didn’t think of his own son and needed Magnus to suggest it to him

[@timjkoala7556]

I think he was thinking of like academic, athletic or business type achievements, which considering Adam has been obsessed with climbing from such a young age, it didn't surprise me he was a bit stumped.

[@ZuziFox]

Also not sure why we should call having a kid " an achievement" you literally just had sex .....

Lol at the video on Magnus' channel everyone was commenting on how stonefaced Adam was, but he's clearly more animated than Magnus in this video. We might be reading in too much from single vids XD

[@jackcarsen6247]

took me like 5 minutes to figure out jacob schubert. i gave up on the people he said right after. captions no help :(

[@threedog27]

I would really like to know how the fear of falling can be improved. I am climbing lead since 3 months now and the fear of falling sets me really back. I would even say one whole grade from my limit. Already did some fall training but not consistent. Have the feel it doesnt get any better.

[@username-lj6tl]

For me it was just when I was more confident on the climbs, I was scared of falling until I was climbing around 7a so it might come overtime if you don’t try to overcome the fear

[@juliuscaesar7795]

fall more, bigger falls

[@Fluflo83]

Fall more and climb with a belay person you trust with close ayes.

[@Sutherland5]

Consistency seems to be what you need to really progress. And if you really get anxious on the wall, you cannot push it too far too quickly or you'll just set yourself back. You need to take your time and really learn to trust the equipment and your belayer. If you aim to be climbing for many years to come, 3 months is basically no time at all, you have barely started! So try to look at the big picture and not get demoralized if things don't work out immediately. Climbing is so good because it really challenges you to grow in multiple ways, and if you put in the work, you will see the rewards. Good luck!

[@slam4444]

Gently overhung climbs that are well bolted, ie - safe falls and lots of them. Start with small falls and gentle progression. Nothing like a big scary whipper to set you back. Ideally, unintentional falls - intentional falls feel way scarier to me than unintentional falls. Analyze the fall potential, make sure it's safe (rational vs irrational fear), then just focus on the movement and try hard. Belayer you trust that isn't going to give you unnecessarily hard catches is key. Been climbing ~4 years but fear of falling is still a struggle, particularly early in the season. It's there for the pros too, just to varying degrees.

[@irinacaldare4259]
