Hardest Route in Italy | Wonderland 9b/9b+ | Adam Ondra

[@sapphicalix]

I’m chronically ill and disabled and mostly bed-bound at this point in constant, severe pain. I’m only 30 and I feel like my life is pretty much over. Lately I’ve been obsessed with watching climbing videos, videos of mountaineering, surfing videos. and videos of thru hikes. It helps me forget about my life for a little while and daydream that I could do those things in another life, had I been healthy. I’m in awe of the things you can do. Never take your health for granted. You never know how important it is until it’s gone.

[@4DR14NCE]

Your comment gave me shivers. I send you the warmest hug, you are a real hero ❤️

[@Andrew-dd3yt]

Wishing you the best

[@pondlakes]

Prayers for you friend. I hope things improve for you

[@beardedmtbr]

My thoughts. ❤

[@thor498]

What condition do you have?

[@sry4lagg]

No matter which route, Adam will always be able to find a knee bar

[@MartinClimbs]

he could probably kneebar a rope

[@davidtorres8396]

Someone not as good at it might repeat one of his routes without a knee bar and upgrade them to 10a haha! He’s incredible

[@VDB420]

Imagine finding a new knee bar on an Adam Ondra route 😂

[@sry4lagg]

@@VDB420 Blasphemy!

[@macl600]

No knee bar no ondra

[@themanissam1]

We all know Adam is the best around when it comes to climbing. But his team is now starting to produce some of the best climbing videos too. Great work!

[@nairda1990]

That was the thing I thought about as well when watching the video.

[@NLGwotlkclassic]

adam is based and mountainpilled

[@litfamwinkle3391]

Shout out to Alfredo, for recognizing that chipping was a mistake and saying in front of a camera that he did it as well. That is what I call self development! Sei una leggenda!

[@gameplaynation4280]

No one cares about your lbgtq logo

[@randomclimber]

Seconded!

[@freerideshuttle]

Agree perfectly

[@ViMe1337]

Why is it considered bad or unethical if you chip away on the rock to get better holds and "unlock" a route? Who are you hurting with that?

[@freerideshuttle]

@@ViMe1337 consider this, the rock, the wall was there for millenniums at least before the humans, so after in short periods of time like 50 years we have walls slippery, or artificial holds, or chipped rocks just for the will to get a pass, well in like a couple of centuries there will be no more good rocks/walls to hang on. What about a thousand years then?

[@structuralclimbing5212]

The flow when Adam sends the route is amazing, so much control, inhale and exhale, speed, technique and the iconic SCREAMS.... everything fits perfectly, the music is great too. Good work, incredible.

[@arrefinfias]

exactly what I was saying to myself when he goes for the send. When gets into the flow/zen mindset to send a route, and goes through the crux without making the same "mistakes", it's just amazing and beautiful. I do mostly indoor bouldering (climbed outdoors as well) but this is on another level.

[@limekrhythm6749]

a few years ago, movies like this where a part of stuff like reel rock festivals. Now its just on KZbin. Amazing production quality.

[@surferderek11]

I like how you include your weird days. Shows that even one of the best climbers in the world is human and has off days. Shows how hard u work to be one of the best if not the best

[@mechanicgray]

Bro, deff the best.

[@trashcant69]

@@mechanicgray It depends on the specializations, he's not the strongest at dynamic moves, but extremely good at a lot of other things.

[@mechanicgray]

@@trashcant69 he is the best all around climber to ever live. Look at his resume. Noone has done what he has done.

[@Euroholds]

This is a fact.

[@handohall3406]

@@trashcant69 totally agree with the sentiment of your original comment. But @Climbaholic is correct, other climbers might be better at a certain point at one time. But Overall speaking he most def is the greatest climber to walk the earth til today

[@Landolini]

Amazing video as always! I love that you include some of the history behind a route and the crags and that you interview legends like Alfredo Weber. Adams perfect technique is also always a pleasure to watch :D

[@christopherbell211]

Wow the story telling, climbing, and atmosphere was absolutely stunning in this video! You had me captivated the whole time

[@whatfffd]

Adam , yourself and your crew are absolutely amazing. The locations , the editing , the story behind actually sending your routes are always a joy to watch and experience. Thank you to everyone that puts so much effort into making these epic climbing videos. Above all thank you Adam for being a wonderful human being and being a badass climber to boot 👍

[@randomperson8423]

Climbing aside, these videos are getting better and better! The cinematography and use of music is amazing!

[@pablolorenzosanchez5183]

I mean, these videos are simply amazing. Congrats to adam and the team

[@bertycx]

In this video I learnt that Adam really knows his body and understands how to listen to it. That is truly impressive and is the mark of the best athletes

[@Strythee]

Uploading videos of this quality every one or two weeks is really insane, it's always a pleasure and you inspire all of us Adam !

[@viniopini]

Absolutely amazing! There is no one like Adam. Also great music choice! thank you

[@patrickbryant_]

Amazing climb and excellent film making! I loved the description and editing on the part describing the micro beta errors that lead to your fall. Fascinating and so clearly told.

[@ArinaThomsen]

This is an awesome video. The music on the approach gave me the same feeling as "Arrival" (2016) - something incredible and totally breaking the ground is going to happen right now - and the happiness of the sent that everyone shared with Adam was just infectious. Congratulations, Adam!

[@shipper611]

Fascinating that even after all these hours on the route - you may still find a new move

[@Euroholds]

Best in the business climbing an amazing route and being filmed by the bests in their business. Congrats! Also Huge thanks to Alfredo for the honest words

[@matenw.9530]

another great video! I love the chill mood in the beginning and then rapid build up of tension in the middle. Then when you see Adam stick the every hold around the crux. The music mirroring the rapid climbing and the breaks in between. The talk in the end rounds it off perfectly. Crazy quality of a video, as usual (which shouldn't be normal, but for you it seems natural). Thanks!

[@harismichail2]

Really liked the editing in this one. Edited like a movie kinda. Really got me into it

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Yeah, the storytelling aspect was really well done and the music and cuts were perfect. Thumbs up for whoever did the editing. (Of course, the video work was really good, too, because you don't have much to edit without awesome footage.)

[@G3m1n1MTNs]

Whenever I get to 1/3 - 1/4 of an new video from Adam, I find myself involuntarily clenching 3-4 body parts. Absolutely awesome climb!

[@brendanacord]

Wow! The passion comes through directly with this video, it’s a masterclass through and through! The line looks beautiful, the high foot out right in the crux section looks insane but in context compared to everything around it maybe par for the course. Way to go Adam!

[@matthickman8823]

The cinematography is seriously the best. Stunned at the quality of this production. This is pushing me to get back on ropes my good man 😎

[@Productionbrikfilm]

amazing editing and music!! , (and climbing of course) its so pure! realy amazing how it shows the process in detail

[@danwallis1984]

Wow well done to the team and to Adam. That crux sequence looked absolutely brutal!

[@RobbieBolog]

This was a beautiful video from start to finish. Such graceful climbing combined with amazing landscape cinemotography. Maybe one of your best yet!

[@indigowolf288]

One of the best short films I've ever seen ... Action, Talent, Fabulous Music tuned specifically to the climb, great great job to all involved.

[@amsy2547]

I kept thinking with each bolt in towards the end he was gonna stop but he just kept going up. Insanely impressive. The endurance is crazy

[@NineteenEighty8]

KING OF ALL KINGS. Unreal talent my friend, never stop. Your ratings are so crazy, you never underestimate the route and always stay true to the grade standards.

[@josephrios6573]

Adam - this was so inspirational both from a physical and mental standpoint. Lethal to my mind! (In a good way) keep it up brother! Side note: KILLER MUSIC

[@antonioluismarcoburgos8117]

Adam, you're great and humble; I love you. I also want to point out the high quality of the video. The camera points of view, selected footages, the right timing of every music. Congrats to the video team. This was first class.

truly a top notch film. Amazing editing too. This is the kinda stuff that pushes the whole climbing community forward!

The quality of this video in general is incredible as always, but it is by far the best audio production I've heard on any climbing video. Amazing job!

[@jakobjanen8109]

What a beautiful video and precise description by Adam. I have to admit that he always reminds my of Frodo when he's wearing his weddingring around the neck xD

[@mervinpinto6137]

At the beginning, the music, composition, everything looks so beautiful. Love watching ❤️

Like I always say, only the beggining of this video is pure art. It amazes me how much effort is put in each video. Thanks Adam as always. And like I've said before, please come back to Chile. Congrats!

Your screams and the music gaves me goosebumps. Truly an amazing thing to watch, let alone become your feat.

[@LiveFaustDieJung]

Excellent! 👏👏👏 I love watching these videos. I have climbed things my whole life, but never got to “know the ropes” literally speaking. I am now at 39 starting. I am excited to have fun and climb some fun routes while I still have mobility and energy. I am blessed to have these things when I know people my age who are living with chronic pain and disability already in life. Im ready to get outside of my fears (which are mostly social) and push myself. Learn to trust myself and others more. Climbing is more than just climbing. It’s taught me about life. Sometimes you can’t go back. You just have to take a deep breath and figure out a way up.

[@SirZeck]

Congratulation to Adam and Italy, Well done all supporting lads! and the team also did a good job producing this video!

[@sunnymuniz6040]

Way to go Adam! Always love seeing what your up to, thanks you for making these videos!

[@daniel4431]

Its amazing and satisfying to see you climb such a pure line in an area that has chipped and altered crags. Many think he is not a fast climber because of the speed climbing discipline and his frustration towards it but when you look at REAL climbing you can see the efficiency he flows up the wall with is truly unmatched. You know that match on the pinch is hard when adam ondra says its impossible. A lot can be learned from these videos they almost feel like mini documentaries. The rich history of this climb makes it seem so daunting and its incredible to see adam crush it with such psyche and compassion of course with the famous screams🤙. Also the cinematography of these featured routes and crags is beautiful. 9b blayer😂🤣 20:30

[@bengrant8819]

Doing fantastic chap, keep on climbing.

[@IronJohn755]

This is why I love climbing. In no other sport can you see an individual achieving something that seems impossible at first. Runners go a little faster, soccer players kick with a little more accuracy, Adam goes from nothing to everything through raw determination.

[@jaimeparker2161]

I don't necessarily agree - i think the achievement of the impossible comes in other sports and competitions as well. To me the incredible part of climbing is its self-contained nature. If you succeed, it's because you did it. There is no such thing as luck (although bad luck maybe) but every send and every top was hard earned, as opposed to those other things where the opponent may mess up.

[@IronJohn755]

@@jaimeparker2161 I guess what I mean is - if you are a marathon runner, your limit doesn't go from 1 mile to 26 miles over the course of a week. Because climbing involves so much more problem solving, the domain of "possibility" expands through your determination and through solving the problem. Adam was already capable of the movement, but didn't know if the problem could be solved until he solved it. And yes, success is totally objective (you got to the top), but it's not always the strongest or fastest to succeed - just the most prepared, intelligent and determined.

[@frostyx5347]

Great video. you truly are the best climber of all time and not only that but you create very entertaining videos for you’re audience! from the cinematography to the music everything really dose blend well.
