Climbing with 16-year-old 9a+ Rock Climber Pepa Šindel | Climbers/ Lezci | Adam Ondra

[@AdamOndra]

Hi all, the ENGLISH SUBTITLES ARE AVAILABLE IN THE VIDEO SETTINGS. Enjoy 🙂

[@YuniorBarbanOficial]

@@AdamOndra Thank's

[@Snaketown1337]

Strange, it's not available for me.

[@adamstarkowitz621]

Hey Adam just wondering would u ever come climbing in Australia pls come 😀would love to meet u

[@crissi6220]

Adam - I had the honour to meet you in Vienna, in a climbing gym several years ago and I absolutely love you, your friendliness and empathy, your will to train and always to push your borders! You're legend! ❤ I started to climb with 45 (55 now), so I'm rather abysmal, however I love it! I did sports (but no gyms) all of my life, so I'm quite muscled everywhere except of my arms. And I'm tall for a woman. I weigh about 85 kg and I could not really hold my bodyweight for long in overhangs, so I don't do them (or only very short ones). My question - can you compensate body weight with technique (and I should try) or do I HAVE to work on my upper body or better arms' strenght??? Do you HAVE to be able to do several pull-ups as a climber - or can technique save you?

[@FroggyPrince]

@crissi6220 I mean more strength never hurts 🤔

[@krizeja]

The real hero of this story is the father whose 15-year-old son considers him one of his idols and wants to hang out with him. That is the adam-ondra-level of parenting 🎉😅

[@AdamOndra]

Absolutely agree!

[@ClassicLenny]

Exactly what I was thinking, what an amazing family ❤

[@SecretSpots]

👏👏👏

[@mariuszklin6433]

Adam just gave this kid one of the best moments he will never forget. Great video

[@jonathanrossddsmhs1271]

Pepa listening to Adam about injury prevention…yeah, right old man! I will never be injured.

[@YuniorBarbanOficial]

Yeah, I just remember Adam 16 also

[@papalegba6796]

Hardest lesson to learn as a youngster, you think you're indestructible.

[@JG-mz7hg]

He really has started to visit a PT regularly afterwards :)

[@ZoniacMan]

This channel has the best production value of any climbers on KZbin. Its amazingly good.

[@AdamOndra]

Glad you think so! We will keep producing! AO Team

[@patricksparksadventures]

The shot of the father at the end after he says, 'ok we need to come up with a name.' Wow. The emotion in his face, and how much that means to him. What a moment. Always amazing stuff. Thanks.

[@invidious77]

Absolute class act Adam. You made that kid's whole year! I hope he continues to grow and one day join the ranks of great climbers like yourself.

[@YoshaBouwhuis-jh2uh]

He already is😅

[@Glenners]

This was incredible! Imagine being that kid and getting to watch Adam flash their proj, screaming all the way up!

[@randomperson5154]

Thanks so much for all the high quality content for FREE here on KZbin. You've lit a fire in me to really deeply appreciate climbing, something I had never thought before I would ever find myself getting into. Now, I can't get enough and I'm excited to start training my body and getting into this beautiful sport. Please keep up the hard work, it's all worth it buddy!

[@slouriejr]

Best of luck on your journey! Stick with it, it's so much fun!!

[@Jkbb6]

The joy and smile of Pepa is amazing, passion all the way!

[@colehibbard2851]

Good lord, that undercling sequence… Adam’s flash/onsight ability is otherworldly

[@kylejones4987]

Silence and La Dura Dura were my first Adam Ondra climbing videos that I watched in 2020 during the demic. They are what lit my fire for climbing. I've been climbing and watching your videos ever since. Well, I had a 2 year drought but I've recently gotten back into it. I envy this kid. I'm 40 years old and wish I could have found climbing in my youth. I would also love to meet Adam myself. He's genuinely a kind hearted humble human being. These videos and climbing have inspired me to change my life and fitness goals for the better. Please don't stop with the amazing productions. They are truly appreciated more than you can imagine.

[@johnnewman2490]

Start climbing! You don't need to climb 9a to have an amazing time. I didn't climb regularly until my late 30s and I've had an amazing time on scenic classics.

[@Gadinski]

This is one of the channel’s best vids IMO. I feel like I not only got to know Pepa and his family, but also got a great sense of the setting in Slovakia and their home crag. What an awesome kid and beautiful crag! Can’t wait to see more form Pepa in the future.

[@AdamOndra]

Glad you enjoyed it! AO Team

[@TheNails3]

Pepa is an awesome talent, brilliant to see, I wish him all the best

[@tomaskeprt6110]

Je super vidět, jak taková ikona jako Adam je nadšený z mladého lezce. Je fajn, že podporuje další a pro všechny zůčasněné, musí být zážitek si s ním zalézt. Za mě jedno z nej videí co jsem tady viděl, hlavně z toho nadšení všech. Boží 👍👍👍

[@irondogallen6213]

Adam, you're such a great ambassador for the sport, this visit surely will inspire this kid for years to come

[@JustinMayfield]

This channel is an absolute treasure. The climbing and enthusiasm are amazing, but also just the quiet moments around camp and in the morning are beautiful and zen. Outstanding, just simply outstanding.

[@janjilek3496]

Krásné... sledovat lidi, které něco baví tak moc, jako Adama s Pepčou a jeho taťkou :) Člověk nemusí být nutně lezec, aby jim přirozeně fandil

[@NeetonDaviel]

WOW, felt like a National Geographic documentary. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE 😃

[@TheNails3]

The cinematography was incredible, the stunning visuals and atmospheric music- very cool

[@balaenopteramusculus]

Best video so far. So wholesome. So beautiful to watch.

[@AdamOndra]

Wow, thank you!

[@KarelSeeuwen]

A big shout out to Mum! Thanks for providing a no BS diet for your son, and no doubt everyone else.

[@HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES]

Wow. I was holding back tears at the end. When you sent that route he got so inspired. We all got inspired. Beautiful stuff !

[@jimsmindonline]

I was lucky to visit Slovakia when I was 15, watched a few climbers drilling bolts when I was there. (25 years ago) Had no gear and the guys there let me climb an easy route on their kit. A day I will never forget! Such an amazing, inspiring country. Back then new routes going up everywhere and definitely one of those moments that inspired me to climb more as I grew up.

[@igormartinez3574]

Nice to watch a video in which climbers speak in their mother tongue. So rare nowadays. Thanks for the subtitles.

[@TheNails3]

Adam is one hardcore beast!! That ascent of Ratatouille was awesome!!!

[@cjm5002]

That was beautiful! Hope you keep in touch with this awesome young lad on his journey to greatness. Being an inspiration is one thing but being a part of his journey and mentoring him will change his world forever. You are definitely the best of us Adam!!!

[@AdamOndra]

His father Pen is his great and main mentor. And he does it really well!

[@edohomola1610]

Ďakujem Adam za zviditelnenie naších skál.

[@trautsj]

Bruh... imagine being praised by Adam Ondra as a climber just in general; let alone at that age. It's like the highest honor a climber can achieve lol You love to see it!

[@vojtechpsenka]

Adam, krása, jedno z naj videí, je tam všetko

[@pietro.granati]

I'm a total begineer at age 31, wanna become better to take great pictures of climbers, but this sport hide some magic, the mutual help you find in some sites is overwhelming and this video is pure inspiration.

[@grahamschroff3516]

This was such a joy to watch. Thank you all so much

[@hogie48]

I feel like I say this on every one of Adam's videos, but this was just amazing. You and your team have a amazing way of telling a story that in unmatched on KZbin. I have to watch with sub titles and even not understanding anything that is being said, I am captivated so deeply by every second. Truely amazing job to everyone involved in making this channel what it is.

[@FredT34]

Climbing is great, climbing with emotions is even greater!

[@JanZezula]

The passion of Pepa is so intoxicating and somewhat addicting. Watching this for the second time in 2 days:-) I picked up climbing in my mid forties just few weeks ago and am enjyoing every single second on the walls. Thank you for these videos. Greetings from Brno!

[@andrejcernansky]

Krásne video, veľká vďaka Adamovi a Pepa klobúk dolu, držím palce ;)

[@jkgjr8279]

Amazing. Kid looks at you like you’re Superman. Hell you are Superman 💪🏻

[@alexanderbonnet3494]

Yeah! Teacher is the best Job to climb hard. Also in Germany. Also with a van…❤

[@LukasHausler-sb8vl]

Thanks for this video. One of the best videos of his channel!! 🎉

[@mukundgite8695]

Adam absolute beast! Really nice to see how next gen climbing is shaping out

[@martinadrlikova7229]

Moc zdravim celou rodinku! Pepa je proste po vas. Fantasticke!!! Curda z Dobre.

[@bastronom4496]

Production value is insane love your content!

[@giacobaby]

Nádherný video Ondro a skvělej přístup. V jiných sportech by možná stařší a zkušenější mohli na kluka žárlit, ale je vidět, jak je lezecká komunita úžasná a dokážeme se navzájem podporovat takovým způsobem. Strávit víkend se svým idolem, to klučina do smrti nezapomene. Podle mě jsi mu ukázal, že je na správné cestě a že to má smysl.

[@Widlomaa]

This video was beyond beautiful. The quality, the emotion, the pure skill of Adam, but most importantly how you see how Adam supports Pepa in this incredible dream.

[@M-man-ui8cv]

Well done Adam. There you made a young man very happy and all the inspiration. That is so much more than just ascending.

[@rbatsenko]

Thank you for the new gem 💎 to try in Harmanec! 😍 Amazing work as always!

[@jennymchandler]

Wow what an awesome video!! Your passion and care for the next generation and climbing is your region is so moving. Pepa is definitely one to watch!! ❤

[@DavidSliž-f6w]

Super setkání a společně strávený čas. Aba jak cyp! Jen tak dále....👍🦵💪

[@shang0h]

I always love watching Adam move, most other climbers look like weird beasts scrambling up a rock muscling and dynoing through it, where he looks like water flowing up the stone, like a special creature designed for this, long with interchangeable hands and feet. They say never meet your heroes but I think Pepa was happy he did, seems like it was a great time and the next generation is so exciting.

[@tkkei]

Well done! Happy that we have youth that are just as if not even more passionate :)

[@dalis994]

Adam, I love you, man, for giving this young man such an experience.

[@heighRick]

Pepa, Adam, amazing effort. What a video, thanks, helps a lot!

[@cypri1101]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. It's so great to have climbers like you that want to share his passion to others, kids, friends, climbers or viewers. Thank you

[@vanleen]

That was like an epic movie, not like a youtube video. Its great to see such passion for something, whatever it may be... its infectious.

[@yarpenzirgin1826]

Nice kid. Compliments for Adam for giving him platform, and giving us an opportunity to meet fantastic family.

[@trt_barani]

parada, si pamatam,ked si bol ty taky maly chalan a teraz dalsi talen, super ze sa podporujete

[@audetetvincit]

Bravo again, Adam 🙌🏼👏🏼Pure Class

[@horalsky]

Pepas passion in the video is incredible and when conected with Adams, ... thats my new most favourit climbing video. Thank you!

[@YuniorBarbanOficial]

Taking care the future of climbing ❤

[@timihurskainen]

That clap at 9:05. Then matchin the same vibe at 11:28 🔥

[@michaltheb]

These memories are burned into Pepa's brain and will be with him until the very last day. He might not even know it yet...😊

[@paulzauner6896]

just met pepa and his dad and brother at the crag the other day, they are super nice, pepa clearly knows who he is but also stays humble! Was fun talking to him see ya :)

[@adrianfbird]

That was awesome and both your faces when you completed a climb such joy 🤘🏿

[@scrincybingus9806]

That kid is absolutely bonkers

[@josefzboril9095]

Pecka jen tak dál kluci ať to leze...🤞👊

[@Drontes]

Paráda! Super výkon od obou borců a největší pecka byl Pepův výraz, když Ondra přišel pod skálu, to bylo tzv. "heartwarming jako sviňa". :)

[@motiOn732]

Absolutely mental send by Adam

[@robvp71]

That is one hell of a climb.. incredible.. I am sure the young Adam will climb this in the coming year(s). Great to see how proud his parents are and how Pepa enjoyed seeing Adam climb.. very inspiring, also for visiting that beautiful area!

[@thephore]

I really liked this video. It's so wholesome. I hope this kid has a bright future ahead of him.

[@valeriogabrielli4342]

È sempre un emozione vederti macinare vie. Sei il migliore Adam, sei il migliore 🙌🏻

[@manicantsettleonausername6789]

What an amazing little documentary, so beautifully made and what a fantastic story. Really awesome to see such raw talent at such a young age, and such a cool new route too!

[@giuseppegalli9009]

❤… sei davvero una bellissima persona … ❤️… pace e bene a te in tutto quello che farai ❤️… infinitamente grazie 🙇🏼🙇🏼🙇🏼❤️🙇🏼🙇🏼🙌

[@MartinDlabaja]

Krasne video, jste super, oba! Moc vam drzim palce. :)

[@maxidlab]

Again: beautiful edits, content, scenery, pace, quality, climbing. From the best. AO.

[@whatfffd]

Adam , you made this young man's world expand on what is possible. That will inspire him for the rest of his life. Amazing to see his face light up when you succeeded. I guess you had no choice, your his idol , failure wasn't an option 😉

[@antheayip4541]

wonderful filming and wonderful people!

[@annmut5038]

Very beautiful and inspiring video, thank you!

[@KuroNekoIX]

I love this video so much! I just saw you at the olympics lead semi final today and you were awesome. Wish you all the best for the finals in 2 days!

[@maeleveillard2199]

Congratulations for your qualification to the olympics games in Paris!

[@AdamOndra]

Thanks!

[@9once568]

What a lovely video!!! so much passion and joy in his eyes

[@matejknopp309]

I am not a climber as i tried it only once and indoors but i like to watch Adam and others and i admire how most of climbers have positive mind and respect for the Nature including this family. Wish you all the best and thank you for this video

[@AdamOndra]

Thanks. So, let's go give climbing one more try. And then one more. :-)

[@matejknopp309]

@@AdamOndra Yes I should try even I am 30y older now :-)

[@0xf7c8]

You one day are just a kid projecting a 9a and first ascent and Adam drops at your crag, flashes your project and names it for you. Kid got the humility lesson at young age and thats good.

[@ondrejnevelik7338]

Adam didn't flash the route. Unless of course you mean the first route they did - Carpe Diem 8b+,

[@TristanCleveland]

@@ondrejnevelik7338 I can see how someone could misunderstand since they didn't show him trying the moves. But yeah, if he flashed it, it would have been a big deal.

[@MarkRozema-v9m]

@@TristanCleveland Adam has flashed 9a before IIRC, maybe even 9a+? Not sure.

[@TristanCleveland]

@@MarkRozema-v9m Yep. He was the first to flash 9a+, and it was big news. I think he was the second to flash 9a after Megos, or if not second, close to. It remains rare and is news worthy.

[@lonniecarlson8866]

What a great climb. I really enjoyed watching the two of you climb together. Great job, both of you.

[@AdamOndra]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bob5589]

Nice production, high quality all around. Love this content!

[@denix91]

What a beautiful video. Adam is like a superhero to this kids, I love it!

[@yetiDHrider]

Thank yo so much for this amazing and motivating content, wish you all the best!

[@stayhighforever-]

Pepo: máš pouze tak 12-15 let na vrcholu a přijdou tři zkoušky: Zdraví, ženy a peníze. Tyto tři věci ti budou chtít vzít fokus. Jako mladej a "nesmrtelnej" to nevnímáš a vnímat nechceš. Adame: pokud jsi toho schopnej, udržuj s Pepou vztah tak, abys mu pomohl nepromrhat jeho krátké mládí (míněno v top lezení). Super video!

[@angelolobina1929]

really really inspiring, thank you so much Adam

[@jankra]

Nádherné video, krásná spolupráce.

Wow this production is one of your best! Great team you have!! 👏🏽 it was so nice seeing the vibe between you two, he was looking at you as his hero 🥰
