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.

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

"now it got from boulder problem into shallow water solo" you're the best, Adam🤣

[@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]

Hello, just another subscriber to your channel scrolling by

[@formfeelfn]

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

[@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 🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@darknes7100]

Love that you showed the cleanup after, setting an awesome example in more ways than one

[@colehibbard2851]

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

[@matthewontherocks]

Goddamn his knee-bar training for Silence definitely shows here!

[@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.

[@branquinhojb545]

Feeling like I must comment after what I've just saw but I'm out words. Just amazing the will and the power. Congrats

[@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.

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

[@tuomasmatikainen753]

When you will try burden of dreams???

[@jorgeloredo9603]

Everyone! Like this comment so Adam sees it!

[@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

[@mattiaboccafogli9245]

never, there are no knee bar rests!

the 9A boulder is waiting for you

@Lorenzo Federico Signorini sisi ma intendevo proprio di provare burden of dreams, dato che è l'unico 9A boulder a quanto pare

the discipline this dude has to know when to stop is unlike anything i've seen before.

[@jabajaba15]

Adam, you are amazing.

[@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!
