Evolution of Climbing Holds | Euroholds & Adam Ondra

[@doemaeries]

So I'm a German watching a Czech speaking Spanish with English subtitles. What a time to be alive

[@lennardschubert1147]

Thought the same💀

[@kamron_thurmond]

Almost 13 minutes of Adam flexing on us that he can speak in Spanish, Czech, and English.

[@alexantone5532]

iirc he can also speak Italian and German

[@alfonso2044]

@@alexantone5532 You know if he speaks french too?

[@alexantone5532]

@@alfonso2044 I looked and I don’t think he does

[@wormball]

But does he speak slovenian?

[@MornLurian]

@@wormball everybody i Czech republic can understand and speak Slovak language.

[@WeaselBeeH]

I had no idea Adam speaks Spanish that well :) But ofc in hindsight it makes total sense hehe

[@Egl3RioNCSGO]

He also speaks Italian

[@Phoenixhunter157]

I think he speaks 5 languages. Pretty cool.

[@fuldaldilgul]

thank you for not forcing this channel's guests to speak in english. love it

[@paulelderson934]

Exactly, it's so nice to see them being able to express their enthusiasm without barriers.

[@alpinekiwi]

I have so many holds on my wall from this company. They are amazing and a great company to deal with! You have chosen your partners well Adam, I look forward to seeing what you guys create together!

[@chrismarshall22]

I remember using these old school holds and new ones being called plastic fantastics. With much fondness. I think some of the creativity in wall design has been lost over time. Would love a history video about indoor climbing.

[@AdamOndra]

[@KizanMusic]

It’s always a treat to get some climbing history mixed in with modern methods of climbing!

[@leegosling]

I remember when holds were bricks missing in a wall, or cracks between stone blocks on a railway bridge. Then we had purpose indoor walls with bricks inset or protruding and sometimes a ledge to belay from. Then the gaps had actual rocks cemented in. Often collected from below real crags (E.g Altringham). Then came bendecrete. A world of possibilities including trad protection on indoor walls (eg Preston). Then plywood and resin holds made it less realistic but pushed certain aspects and allowed resetting (not easy with bendecrete). Volumes and now cracks have tried to recreate the change in angles and different techniques of real rock again. I miss bendecrete though.

[@jojodroid31]

That's amazing. Climbing holds, like so many things, seem so simple, yet they have such an interesting history and went through much evolution.

[@RealWorldClimbing]

I remember some of those holds. The circular inset holds were super popular. And the "novelty" of climbing on the ceiling was really a thing. Those guys leading all the way across the roof were the SUPERHEROES!

[@pirata_cojo]

¡Qué bonito Xativa! No lo conozco pero habrá que pasarse. Gracias por apollar los negocios locales Adam con este nivel de vídeos. ¡Un abrazo!

[@francescobcn]

Last picture holds is from Foixarda tunnel in Barcelona 🔝

[@mladen8127]

I felt for Toni's brief panic when Adam tried to take the starfish hold. Those old holds must be very fragile if dropped?

[@MiguelClimbs]

I love these videos so much. Lots of good insights from the world's greatest climber.

[@ejl74]

Hey dude! I love your videos!!!

[@MiguelClimbs]

@@ejl74 Aw thanks man!

[@hw7089]

Hey dude! I love your videos too!

[@Moltrox]

Finally an Adam video I could understand without using any subtitles. I was very surprised to hear his Spanish. ¡Muchas gracias por el video Adam!

[@MrbeanGaming]

ADAM speaks SPANISH?!?! Damn

[@baptisteverncadel]

And so well ! Amazing

[@chaozzah]

I see Adam talking about old holds and recognise a ton that are still used in our gym :D Small, weird, mostly crimpy. Good times.

[@Norman_krsk]

there are such a different shapes of holds! i never seen that. in local gyms we have regular holds, slopes and pyramids. but there are plenty rocks nearby in natural reserve stolby, and so wild place like kuturchin. gym is only for long cold winter.

[@alexiki]

Increíble Adam! No sabía que hablabas español, qué bueno escucharte hablar en mi idioma. Seguro que te tratan de maravilla en esta tierra.

[@ejl74]

Love this video. I have a huge collection of old climbing holds and I totally appreciate this video.

[@grenouillemutante]

Love this kind of content. Also the collection of images from fans was pretty cool.

[@eega9181]

This could have been a really interesting video about the history of climbing holds if you included, well, history. Things like who/which company was the first to actually produce commercial climbing holds and maybe let them talk about their reasoning. The way it is it is mildly interesting and basically just a 13 min ad for Euroholds ... Not that I have an issue with sponsored content, but I really expect more than a cheap ad wrapped in the pretense of some climbing history. And it wasn't a long time ago when this was exactly what this channel delivered.

[@adamdin6243]

Agreed, i was expecting to see some vintage holds for the first climbing gyms/competitions and how they came about, not a Euroholds ad.

[@Ga18bo03]

¡Qué bien hablas español, Adam! Felicidades, qué bonito descubrir eso en este video.

[@זיובןיהודה]

i love that even after adam will stop climbing, He will leave a mark significant enough so we will all remember who was adam ondra

[@derWein]

He'll probably stop competing and some point but I don't think he'll stop climbing.

[@זיובןיהודה]

@@derWein he will retire someday, maybe not soon but he will not be on stage anymore. either way my point is still the same, we will remember him for who he is

[@OnSightNoMore]

What a great movie! Neat filming and editing 👌

[@Chris-vw3yc]

I have euroholds at home. They are amazing holds

[@Yanvonschleck]

Really cool video, great to get an inside look to how everything evolved with climbing holds !

[@patrickwinther]

So interesting!! Such innovation. Wanna climb, now!!

[@kuruchy]

Great video Adam! Pretty good Spanish too!!

[@rillo111]

Next step is chossy plastic that might break if you load it wrongly :)

[@franciscobober]

Adam, felizmente sorprendido de que bien hablas español

[@Jagknorr]

I still havnt been to a gym thats had these new school big type holds really. There might be a couple scattered thru the whole gym, but its mainly just small, old holds. Even volumes are pretty foreign to me.

[@joshuadonovan3812]

Great! Más vídeos españoles ! 💪💪

[@731Seba]

Que agradable sorpresa escuchar a Adam hablando castellano

[@Glibglabglob]

Great video! What does it mean for a hold to be "sophisticated"? 1:35

[@JC-tm7xo]

The green sweater he has on is absolutely badass!

[@pauloviterbo3844]

Lowkey impressed with Adam's spanish

[@leoketilbe8687]

This is amazing!

[@manicantsettleonausername6789]

Lovely video, so interesting

[@Fred-oz3tw]

you wonder if they should not stop making those out of polyurethan. eiter returning to the old ones or creating a more sustainable material. we are creating a massive amount of waste and we dont know what to do with it yet.

[@khakicam5400]

Totally agree. Seems crazy how big some comp holds are when such a small portion of the hold is actually used.

[@edgarmoranovellas3595]

At 7:00 you can see how you should never work with resin or other chemicals. No proper mask and a fan in the room ? I expect there isn’t any airflow like it should be.

[@Euroholds]

Hi Marcel, in fact here the worker is applying solvent-free pigment. No dangerous at all. All of the processes of our production line follows scrupulously the safety procedures, (audited by the Protection techniques and equipment, risk prevention and health and hygiene in the workplace of the spanish government agency). Also in the 12:45 when pouring, it is totally safe for the people around there, because our PU is solvent free, and the mixing is produced in the head machine. Inmediately after the pouring, the molds are gping through a zone of extraction of vapours due to the PU reaction, even not being especially dangerous. Thank you for your interest in this aspects, we are really concerned about this issues, and spasnish industry also does..

[@andres-lr7is]

dude speaks three languages i did not know that

This is cool but subtitles would have been awesome

[@VincentKraven]

There are subtitles. Click on the "CC" button and there are english subtitles.

[@anatomyconspiracy9416]

If you want to gain more fans don't celebrate like a lunatic after accomplishing climbs. There is one where you start screaming and acting very bizarre, that is enough to turn someone off for life. Good luck in your future. Try to act more mature in the future. It looks better on you.

[@MarysJanuszPazdzioch]

You talking to the best climber in the world, you punk. Little bit of respect
