Most of us could barely hang on to the stuff he rests on

[@constantinosschinas4503]

Love this videos. Minimal editing, no distracting music. Only pure, immersive climbing.

[@hewhotellsastory]

At 0:30 I actually thought @AdamOndra was driving the train. 😂😂😂

[@zjenji]

Every grip, precise. Every movement, deliberate. With the sound off, you would think he was just barely breaking a sweat. Truly impressive.

[@friendofilah1929]

Exactly my thoughts.. and there’s me at my first bouldering/climbing session the other day just going for it not know what goes where or why! Zero grace... 😂 I tried 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@jefferypinley4336]

I'd be stoked to get to the first bolt.....

[@uremawifenowdave]

He’s never mentioned in any of his videos when he got bitten by the radioactive spider.

[@breakingberg4130]

Never heard of that

[@MrMajsterixx]

@@breakingberg4130 was a joke on how spiderlike he is

[@breakingberg4130]

[@derekxiaoEvanescentBliss]

I am just mind boggled that he climbs so smoothly on an onsight attempt. I probably climb a rehearsed 6c less smoothly than he onsights 91 lmao

[@dangerouswater]

I climb 6a onsight...between me and Adam Ondra there are 12 degrees of separation...

[@mediocre.climber]

nice one...

[@dodrdlc9411]

+dangerouswater but it is the same joy

[@AlbertMXG]

I just moved to 6b onsight and I still feel light years far from Ondra

[@foxtrotwhisky4061]

6a to 9a is 18 degrees of separation!

[@fredjackson9925]

[@theflyingmozart]

+Aragorn2016 how is this racist

[@rushthezeppelin]

Aragorn2016 You are an idiot. Was anyone describing these people in a demeaning way? Fuck no. I'd imagine it's just a cultural thing for people in Spain to be like this, nothing wrong with it. The OP was simply making an observation. Of course anytime you make an observation that has ANYTHING to do with where somebody is from (good or bad) you are immediately labelled a racist by some rabid SJW. Humans are not perfectly homogenous automatons like cyber-men, we have variety and sometimes that variety falls along ethnic or cultural lines.

[@YouToubeGT]

The golden part of it is him being surprised over his biceps ^_^

[@phutton88]

Blows my mind, how mentally strong people are. Flesh and bone is something we all share; but brain power is a mysterious, mystical thing.

[@GhostShip94]

Truly incredible. Unbelievable strength.

[@laurentdavou]

Really nice video. Thanks!

[@polgzz]

As a person that has never climbed (but loves almost any sport and talent athletes) I would never cease to be amazed by how pro climbers can actually "rest" alternating one hand holds while being totally downwards 🤯. It just doesn't make sense to me. I feel like when I was little and I looked to flies on a wall... 🤔 haha. Damn physics, did gravity just forgot about Vasque Country for some minutes?!

[@malorie_yawenda_picard]

They are not really resting, onlyt shaking the lactic acid from their muscles which is much more important.

[@tacticalchunder1207]

Matthew Ladbrooke don't fret, he is the best climber in the world.

[@gabeh7655]

The odd but perfect mixture of noises in this video gets me every time. The distant trickle and fall of water in the cave with a sporadic shutter going on and off with an incoherent pattern, and of course Adam's flutter of his lips as he manages his breathing and effort before the climbing gets too hard.

[@laurentdavou]

I saw in the ending credits that the audio is : serphonic wax. But I can't find the music we hear at the end of the video. Can anyone help me to find it?

[@livingstonecole769]

ABSOLUTELY A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, and the rock was cold and damp.

[@holyknightthatpwns]

I mean, he said the conditions were perfect at the start of the video, so probably not that damp?

[@tjackman]

@@holyknightthatpwns The holds on the vertical part of the wall were slightly wet. He said that the kneebar was wet at the end of the video.

How close to perfection u have to climb if u are able to OS 9a ? Crazy...

[@EGbean2]

Nutrition. That's the only way

[@Kralsteny]

@@EGbean2 rly ? :D

[@EGbean2]

@@Kralsteny yes, that's the only ingredient to this achievement

[@Kralsteny]

​@@EGbean2 you are not a climber, are you? Of course nutrition is very important in every kind of sport, even in climbing, but if you think it's only about this, you are mistaken and you don't know what it feels to climb 9a grade, what luck and perfection you have to achieve to do it onsight. Nutrition may help you but you must have such a great talent and other things. And Adam is one and only. As a climber i cant still beleave what he does in this video.

[@EGbean2]

@@Kralsteny that's an interesting opinion. Let me add that it requires nutrition and consistency. You have to be climbing once a week to achieve a result like this. I personally climb twice a week but my nutrition isn't at the 9a level

yes.

It's a remix of Black is the Night - DJ Vadim

[@Parasmunt]

Will 9a+ be the highest difficulty climbers will ever flash or onsight? It seems so. 9b tends to involve areas which are technical, precise movements and/or physically very demanding sections.

Hey Black Diamond can you please start adding optional subtitles to your videos? I'm a deaf climber and can't understand most videos and therefore rely on subtitles. To see many of your films have no subtitle option sends the message that you could be a little more in touch with your diverse audience. Great content otherwise!

[@mateyko555]

Why do they give so much loosee rope at 2:01?

[@mateyko555]

+James Cranston Thanks

[@almete]

+mateyko555 That loose rope in my opinion is a mistake, considering how close is the ground in that part of the route, he'd hit the ground for sure if he'd fall.

Hey, Does somebody know the stone type and length of this route? My team and I do a research project in the frame of a doctoral project on the Ruhr-University-Bochum in Germany, and we try to evaluate contact-times of world elite climbers on different stone types, routes length and disciplines. Big thanks in advance for your support! With sporty regards from Germany

if he didn't onsight they'd throw him behind those bars in the back of the cave and leave him there.

[@EGbean2]

Can't tell if you're joking. Is he in dangee of imprisonment if he doesn't climb these rocks?

[@EGbean2]

@Ariolimax C. Christ. I'd be wary of approaching that level of expertise, where any mistake could have me ostracized. Are there any notable instances of attacks or imprisonment? I really didn't know the community was so cutthroat at the top

[@EGbean2]

@Ariolimax C. holy heck I heard part of that story before. You always hear about the climbing community being welcoming, but I guess the stories that get told are the ones of successful pitches. For every legend there's a captive...

[@EGbean2]

@Ariolimax C. lol Sofie stepped off cuz she didn't have the facts.

[@chachiichachiii]

@Ariolimax C. It wasn't his climbing partner that did that too him it was by rebels in Kyrgyzstan in August 2000. Caldwell pushed a lone captor, Ravshan Sharipov,[6] off a cliff, and subsequently escaped to government soldiers. So it was not the climbing community that would be crazy

Well the cut is there, but if you pay attention.. adam has found a way to lock his right leg on on the wall (don't know how to describe that better).. anyway, he may have rested, but it's still legit since he didn't use the rope to rest

[@MultiReinforced]

Onsite? Who placed the draws?, tough but not technically an onsite more a flash

[@romangas1365]

I think what you are referring to is FA, First Ascent. Onsight simply means climbing route with no prior knowledge of the beta or route details and sending it on the first go. Draws might of been placed by someone else, it is still onsight. Flash is sending a route without falling with beta.

[@lozprocter4056]

Hi, if you look closely the bolt end of the quickdraw is a screw link not a carabiner which means the route is perma-drawed (the quickdraws are always in place) Hope this helps :)

[@amenotepia]

+Loz Procter I don't think many climbs over 8a/5.13b are not permanently drawed either, as Loz mentions. Specially in roofs and stuff like that.
