Black Diamond Presents: Adam Ondra-The Balkans Road Trip

[@globalmind43]

Anybody who watches Adam ondra can feel his joy and passion in everything that he does and it's very inspiring ! Not into climbing whatsoever and I probably have watched all of his videos and of course many others.. free solo, dawn wall was truly amazing

[@jasper374]

I hate that I can't see an Adam Ondra video without my roommate thinking I'm watching gay porn

[@aleksar6755]

hey mister Fyodor, i like your books! Keep it up

[@danm1279]

I was at my uni's library and I had to turn my volume down because Adams screeching was blasting through my headphones and I was getting some really weird looks.

[@bilvotel3119]

Why aren't guys moaning in straight porn though

[@marcg3923]

there's something called earphones

[@iboyce485]

well... as long as you keep your pants on, let him think what he thinks.... hahahaha

[@YL_AmericadoSul]

It is so awesome that Adam is giving so much back to the climbing comunity. The same way he was inspired by many routes other great climbers bolted in the past he is now inpiring a hole generation to persue the lines that he is now bolting! Keep on rocking, Adam!

[@sethgilbertson2474]

Yuri Darian I know man, that’s what he does! It’s a testament to his humility and perspective.

[@larjkok1184]

Giving back? How?

[@sethgilbertson2474]

Oggy Oggy Not only that, but he is going to destinations with amazing climbing in countries that people might not think to go to! When most people think about climbing in Europe, they think Spain and France, not Bosnia or Croatia. He’s putting these places on the map for everyone to see!

[@Bredddt]

... by bolting routes for 0.1% of climbers haha

[@larjkok1184]

Seth Gilbertson He’s just doing what he likes. It’s not giving back.

[@moonti6820]

good vibes, the film feels not "forced" I like it a lot.

[@LucasMuniz294]

I agree. I really enjoyed the music, cinematography, and energy that the doc had. Well done Black Diamond!!

[@BoulderingBobat]

Absolutely stunning video! Loved seeing more of the places and local people. That last 9B line looked too good to be true also :) Tom

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

Insane tufas and incredible knee bars by Adam

[@dropelaves]

@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 I'm not a climber at all and I was astonished by those knee bars. I find it amazing how can he/someone figure those out and it all looks so sketchy. Incredible how he can seem so relaxed while doing it.

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

He has trained those moves very hard and thoroughly. Look up "Silence" about his training for the hardest climb in history.

[@dropelaves]

@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 Oh yes, Silence is my favourite climbing video. I've seen that one more than 6-7 times for sure. Thanks anyway, it's a great video to recommend!

[@biltongandboba]

drope laves if you watch all these videos you seem really interested! Why aren't you climbing? :D It's amazing.

[@alpinejonny]

This video really captures what climbing is all about. This is so much better than some of the America's road trip vlogs that are just sooo over dramatic and forced. This one... this is awesome.

[@-Nobody-1]

Lol

[@kriszteblade]

That is a wonderful, calm and peaceful film. And Jesus, Adam tries so hard... You can tell he falls only when completely out of energy. Ps 8c limestone dihedral must be a f..g nightmare

[@jrblackify]

Calm and peaceful until Adam starts screaming like he's killing a small village

[@EggFondue]

Calm and peaceful until Adam starts screaming like he's having his guts ripped out

[@TheGorglesnort]

Calm and peaceful until Adam starts screaming like Frodo any time he got hurt in LOTR

[@speakofhisgrace]

Dont abuse the name of the lord

[@nicolasjeannet790]

Those resting positions at the end are mindblowing

[@tomaszprzewoznik]

Beautiful film. We should remember the director name: Jan Simanek.

[@balke7935]

stunning... one of the most beautifully shot climbing video's i've ever seen

[@willemvanriet7160]

Who needs cable tv with stunning productions like this

[@roypetrofski575]

Thank you from Albania!!!

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

This is what climbing is all about, right here in just under 18 minutes. WOW, this is beautiful stuff. I started climbing after doing some relatively intense hiking which included scrambling up 3 peaks in Bulgaria, and it's so obvious that the potential for climbing in the Balkans is absolutely huge, already explored somewhat but just so much left to discover and expand.

[@DeanMerchant]

Its really inspiring to see Ondra suffer from disco-leg too

[@genevonderlinden1768]

Dean Merchant so inspired, disco leg after a hard climb

[@CyKosis1973]

We called that Elvis Legs when I used to climb, twenty something years ago...

[@akinaridate9233]

We call it tailor leg here

[@jordansullivan5764]

12:56 I was not prepared for that.

[@OttoIncandenza]

you really have to trust the bolt...

[@wombra8314]

Starphysics omg D: my thought D: 🙊

[@vashusan1984]

Gotta love the victory whip. Never taken one near that big myself though!

[@stephenr80]

i like to fly it makes you a betterclimber but omg i wouldnt do that with my cheap rope xD

[@aeon-adv]

Cool vid, no rush, leisurely. Not just Spain exists, nice rock everywhere.

[@coltonthedrummer]

MOXCRunner1 Actually there are some small limestone cliffs in southeast Florida.

[@coltonthedrummer]

MOXCRunner1 Yes. Low tide they only get about 12 feet but it’s rock. I’ve heard that a v10 was established there

[@prtzy]

Wow! This video is a gem. Such an amazing cinematography and story telling without any explicit narration. Bunch of passionate people. Good to see local heroes doing what they love and being happy! Pretty neat microphone setups there, as well as background scores throughout. Adam is legend, no surprises there.

[@JanSimanek]

hey, thanks!! its hard to make a decent sound from climbing, especialy without a sound guy...:) but the music helped a lot here..

[@prtzy]

​@@JanSimanek Thanks for the reply Jam. I believe there was a lot of work done with the music selection to suit the mood of this amazing movie. Also, if you plan to shoot any climbing movie in Indian Himalayas, let me know. Would love to show you around and volunteer as an aerial guy. (Instagram @prtzy)

[@reidsadventures]

whaaat! adam ondra doesn't have not one shred of arrogance. he's the most humble climber and what he does is based off the belief that things are possible. he's optimistic yet realistic. he knows his limits and is very grateful. not arrogant in the slightest.

[@bogdanshevchenko]

Incredible short film. The music set in Macedonia blew me away.

[@connormccafferty5288]

One of the best climbing films I've seen. Well done.

[@lyghty]

10/10 video, well done!

[@hinzkunz7960]

This video is so beatiful. I really like the calm and focused atmosphere!

[@ChrisHoltDC]

I agree with a lot of these comments. The video is really well done. I almost didn't notice the background music. The whole effect is really relaxing. I really like the North Face videos, but thus deserves credit for being unique.

[@janocko7638]

Thanks ❤️

[@mtolstoyed]

many thanks

[@brimendis]

Great video! Loved the 8b+ in Croatia, it showed Adam is human and how good he is. Searching for holds, all of them terrible, fantastic!

[@adamsasso1]

This is one dedicated human being. Inspiring.

[@stevenvandijck2814]

Great footage! The way he kneebars is just stunning.

[@lukasblum8051]

great climber, friendly attitude, magnificent places

[@kevindawson9270]

Lovely film. Beautifully shot/cut, and wonderful music.

[@sinnysinsin_]

Every Adam Ondra video I'm up and down with the volume as much as he's up and down a mountain

[@yassaa4982]

Just gives me the warm fuzzies this vid. Great work BD team

[@f0t0b0y]

I’m just a 4 month old beginner climber but absolutely love this series and helps motivate me to push myself.Thank you Adam and hats off to the production crew and editor. Music is also a step above. 👏🏼

[@MPHshoots]

How has your climbing progressed in 2 years?

[@f0t0b0y]

@@MPHshoots I had a collateral ligament strain right before Covid. And because we have someone with elevated health risk in the family, I’ve been laying low during Covid for indoor curricular activities. But now that everything‘s a little bit more safe I re-joined three months ago and loving getting back into it. Thanks for asking!

[@AmericanTradgety]

Amazing amazing film!! Thank you BD and Adam Ondra for being so strong, energetic but yet so peaceful and nice!!!

[@Mdjagg]

What a beautiful series. Thanks BD, and thanks to you Adam!

[@MartinTatar]

Beautiful video, inspiring. Thank you for making it and sharing with us your journey! I want to go climb out there now!

[@marceloaraya7039]

man , that was fucking beautiful mate , thank you very much , man ,you are welcome to my home in the blue mountains Australia , please let me know , thanks also to show to everyone those beautiful places from my original country Chile , thanks a lot Adam .

[@haydengutiw]

such a good video, I will watch it over and over

[@kakorov]

The dream… WOW, it seems like it's rightfully named. It looks so fun.

[@polgzz]

There is some art going on here... fantastic video!

[@justinmbrunson]

So glad you made it to Albania! Such a special place with a lot of potential. 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱

[@perriek]

Any recommandations on climbing spots in Albania ? I'm bringing a friend of mine to Albania, he would go crazy there with these walls

[@justinmbrunson]

@@perriek When I lived there I didn't climb much, mostly just messed around on some sea cliffs down in Dhermi. When/where are you going?

[@Vasi1980]

I would suggest the Gjipe bay, South of Albania by the sea, Bovilla where Adam climbed or Përmet. For climbing tips contact www.rocktirana.com/

[@perriek]

I’ll be going at the end of august this summer. I’ m bringing 9 of my closest friends to show them Albania and Kosovo for 2 weeks. Do you mean the cliffs you see at the end of the beach when you are in dhermi beach ? I only went there one day as a kid but i remember a kind of cliff on the south part of the beach !

[@justinmbrunson]

Yeah there are some limestone cliffs on the south end of the beach, not sure if there's any potential there. You'd need a boat to check it out. I just kind of tooled around on some pebbly conglomerate boulders that hang over the water between the two beaches. This was almost 10 years ago so there are probably better options now :)

[@MrTomato365]

Great video about climbing in the balkans. And also great video cut, congrats to the cutter. And also the filmer and crew 💪🏼 adam awesome as always 😊 greetings from Switzerland

[@locossanity]

well made film ! amazingly creative climber..he climbs in 5 dimensions

Strong climber. Motivating for me

[@BIOMISFIT]

Really love the video, especially the Bosnia part.

[@reidsadventures]

extraordinary human being

[@toddelliott9896]

incredible video with an incredible athlete

[@catherine4899]

Tried screaming like this when I went to the rock wall. It did not go over well.

[@uremawifenowdave]

Catherine Randall if it helps do it. Screaming can increase your grip strength by up to 25% and help relieve pain.

[@user-ww6wr6gn6i]

you didnt visitied greece but its ok we have some beautiful rocks for climbing especially in peloponiso Iam from greece and you made me start climbing and since then everywhere i look i see walls in that must be climbed great video you are my favourite climber and keep up the beg quality work

[@brendanmorales4504]

Dude really just free falls 90 meters at 12:55 wtf

[@lecobra418]

I don't remember the scientific term for that but it's a pendulum effect I think so the most of the shock was dissiped.

[@ToppaliniTube]

no he fell maybe 15

[@skadday]

@@lecobra418 that's a lot of scientific words used incorrectly

[@Im-just-Stardust]

6:13 Adam reach a hold with his left hand, I mean ... a ''hold''. Literally NOTHING. We can see he's thinking : '' Wait what is that really the hold ? Shit ... yes it is, ahhh that will be painful ''

[@ManuelFernandez-fb3mo]

Glad Adam also gets that cheeky shaky leg when things are getting tense xd 6:57
