How are the holds on a 9c? - The Climbing Diaries #16

All the holds of Bibliographie, the second 9c of the world climbed by Alex Megos last year that I'm currently projecting... have a closer look of some of the "best" holds of the world!

[@tristanmayfield4851]

I can't believe I blew my onsight attempt by watching this video! I'll have to onsight Silence instead I guess.

[@Luckma1]

good he warned at the beginning......with a serious voice

[@AlbertMXG]

same here.. I'd rather choose Perfecto Mundo haha

[@maxdilcon5679]

Damn, I’m Stuck on the second Boulder good to see the beta

[@geflut]

Enrico's foot should be part of the route tbh

[@lorenzodemarinis2603]

Agree

[@gillesparez9119]

"It is important to arrive at the rest with no pump at all." Dude, I got pumped just watching haha

[@TheScreamingSeal]

Also its 5.14a up till there, no pump on 5.14a, ok got it.

[@alexantone5532]

“Pretty easy, 8b+” that’s insane

[@MrCmon113]

Scrolled into the comments to say that.

[@MrThidious]

"Don't watch if you're trying to onsight" 🤣🤯😕 I love it

[@davidarbinger3543]

oh no.. i didn´t watched it with sound, so i missed the spoiler alert... now i will never be able to onsight this route.... (Me climbing max. 6c)

[@Amatsuichi]

I feel you, I will never be able to Watch it on sight again :)

[@GamingVids1984]

I was going to dream tonight that I onsighted it, but now that is ruined 🤣

[@eneveasi]

6c is pretty good! Lmao

[@Brian013100]

"After I use my favorite hold, a slopey pinch, I have my favorite snack, a bottle of arsenic." What a legend!

[@saleenadam1]

That favorite hold looked so awful when he grabbed it

[@ac311205]

“The last move, to this….jug” 🤣. It’s all relative I guess. This series is so awesome. Love the more technical, in depth videos. Keep it up stefano

[@JMnyJohns]

Astonishing - particularly when you look at the quickdraws and realize it's almost all overhanging. And I love that second 'rest,' which 99% of climbers couldn't even hold on to. Badass.

[@HoratioHoodoo]

That shocked the shit out of me. THAT'S the rest hold?

[@briseboy]

aas opposed to goodass? or bad head? No matter what you want to insert in comments? and where?

Most relaxing climbing video on the internet? Need Stefano to narrate my climbing sessions!

[@jondohnson8417]

I completely agree!

[@frelli177]

This is incredible, such a gift to the community. Really appreciate the work you're doing and best of luck with the route! 💪

[@zandrei88]

Good spoiler alert. Also, we need to set expectations for "good holds": the holds of an 8B+. Thanks for the video, it's super inspiering!

[@RockClimberAlex]

Preparing for HCO, huh? :)

[@zandrei88]

@@RockClimberAlex yes, trying to get rid of "bad holds" and "no resting" excuses. If the holds of an 8B+ are good, then i need to change my standards.

"from this good hold, the second crux starts" Mate that whole climb is just one long crux

[@Xenetor666]

"To this" *cough* "Jug" made me laugh hard

[@Airsofter3009]

I'm pretty sure the last 8m jugs are probably around 7b/c still ^^ Instant classic video, as always! You got me with your spoiler alert 😂

[@kleiber1729]

This is an instant classic. Never felt like being so close to such a route.

[@denvergriffin5555]

Brilliant - truly brings home the difficulty of the hardest routes. I think I tore several calluses just watching. Magnifico.

[@Productionbrikfilm]

cool i liked the one u did for 9b+! i think you are doing an amazing job by showing this kind of details on your projects! thanks

[@Tutamten]

Well, it seems they were "Good Enough", congrats Stefano!

[@frenchbaguette2856]

Congrats !

[@francescorosato5431]

The man has done it! Incredible job ste💪

[@eccehomer8182]

Congratulation on finishing the project.

[@gtomdalton]

really appreciate the excellent camera work that allows us to watch your full body movements along with the hand holds!

[@XXDisciple]

Incredible shots. this is just amazing! thanks!

[@ClimbAndTeach]

Amazing. Great choices in your shots.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

These vids are great! Nice one Stef and team.

Who knew that only after 5 days he will send this! Congrats Stefano, train more and train strong!

[@dantelaw7759]

This is incredible content, Stefano you spoil us! Thank you 🙏

[@Iakel345]

Thanks so much for this video Stephano!! I feel so spoiled to get a close look at your project, thanks for being so inclusive of us on your journey to sending it, good luck!

[@bryngolden9133]

Such a cool vid. Loved every minute!

[@HoratioHoodoo]

Thank you for doing this. Incredible.

[@antoineouistit]

Awesome, i love your work and climbing attitude ! 💪

[@climberdna4405]

Great climbing and editing, loving the series

[@MrThidious]

So much respect! That video was super intense...I could see how hard that first Boulder was, great capturing of the pure difficulty! Well done Stefano and team!!! 👏👏👏🔥🤘

[@zacharymehl1461]

Thanks for giving me what I didn't know I wanted!

[@Blackbolt09]

Fascinating to see the holds up close but also interesting when you spy the footholds. The precision footwork required for this is amazing

[@samuellewis3991]

Beautiful video. Absolutely beautiful.

[@kaitsu1984]

Comedy gold right here! Keep these videos coming!

[@brendanacord2557]

This is so well done, a great insight into what makes the climb so hard. I think another thing which isn’t directly mentioned is just how overhanging it is, this can be seen by the angle the quickdraws are hanging at lower down and it looks like this includes the first boulder problem too- Stefano is a beast!

[@eduardo_dito]

fantastic work, the recording, edition, music, narration... everything high quality, next level for the climbing community

[@TerrafuseInc]

Amazing video, thank you for posting!!

[@feralberti2]

such good videos, you (obviously) understand what climbers want to watch and are interested in, keep it up!

[@franzlmd7737]

Ste, this is absolutely astonishing footage, it felt like were doing the route with you which close to none of us will ever achieve. Beyond spectacular video! Bravo and thank you!

[@joegeiger4837]

love stefano!!! so positive, sympatic and calm.

[@marcstauffenberg8599]

Grazie per portarci lassù con te Stefano!!

[@martinondra6972]

Have to admit that Stefano makes climbing videos that I've always wished to be made. Big inspiration, big thanks!

[@klevang7557]

Gosh, that route just never ends! :) Great job!

[@deepatel123]

Every climbing video should show this perspective

[@ozijak]

I would love to see this kind of breakdown for Silence. Awesome video

[@WilliamSurles]

This makes me want to think about and enjoy every move of my climbs, even gym sessions. So Zen watching this.

[@robertovega9619]

This was like watching a meditation video. I forgot how soothing Stefano's voice is on these indepth videos. Like the projecting change sub-series. I also like listening to the fact that he's talking about being pumped always helps me understand a bit more about higher grades and pros. He doesn't looked stressed or pumped.

[@Efretpkk]

thanks for showing this! Really interesting to see

[@biomorphic]

Great video, I love those close camera on the holds, so I can see how this route is for real. It shows all the difficulty.

[@mihuuuu]

love this video style Stefano, please make more

[@tesina21]

Amazing! Thank you Stefano!!

[@08Shade80]

This is amazing. Thank you for making this

[@theperserker]

thank you stefano, great video. some holds we're actually better than i thought, but of course most of them look insane, especially considering how much hard work you to put in, to even reach those holds haha best of luck, you will suceed, of that i am sure :)

[@christinegerard4974]

Extremely interesting ! Thanks .

[@cfhalste]

incredible video!

[@totolamenace]

I'm lucky enough to live 25 minutes from Céüze in car, but I never dared to get close from Bibliographie. Thank you for showing me such a beautiful climb from so close. It's truly mesmerising.

[@ilikebananasFPV]

The Filming and Editing are just Perfect on this one. The World needs more Videos like this one! I don't care about a 90 sec super fast-paced edit when I can have a 10 min (or even longer) Video with Commentary like this

[@arturoarino]

Impressive! 7A+ climber here, it is great to see in detail the things you pro's consider "Holds" honestly it is just amazing, climber, video editing, the route, all of it! congrats!!

[@strafileluigi747]

Ho sempre ritenuto il vostro sport da coraggiosi veri, un specialmodo gli alpinisti d alta quota, bravi

[@Shynaxo]

Well, for some reason you manage to make it look rather easy! Most of us would probably already struggle with climbing just the 8m runout at the end XD

[@saxongoold7832]

Such quality content! Going to be a historical document one day!

[@STUANX]

quel courage et quelle determination !!! bravo

2:10 "8b+ not super hard". And here I am hoping to send my 6a+ project on Sunday, lulz. Thank fuck I'm stubborn or things like these might demoralize me.

[@kamilsaktura4353]

Man, be humble. He is the one of the greates climbers these years. Anyway to send 6a+ usually People need mental firstly. Good luck.

[@jonathanschmidt1668]

[@jcorrify]

Even for 7c+ climber, 8b+ seems unachievable...

Great video, thank you!

[@claudiaaltamirano]

Maravilloso video 🥰 increíblemente complejos y bien logrados movimientos 👍

[@karlderdelinckx]

So nice to see how you’re grip is on the holds. Seeing what you do with you’re thumb etc. More difficult to see is the inclination of the wall … as steep as the moonboard 40 degrées?

[@mikevdwerf]

so no on-site for me than 😂 . what a creative way to bring us along you path….. i stick to my 8a’s and hope to see you one day opening your own 9c……….

[@gnakzor]

Just incredible... Imagine climbing a 9c while carrying Enrico on your back... Amazing.
