I Thought It Was Impossible to Climb Inga 8c+/9a | Adam Ondra

[@AdamOndra]

Hi climbers, enjoy the new video and watch the whole ascent with my commentary in my membership section ⏩kzbin.info/www/bejne/laStfaica9mHgZo. See you there ✊

[@Dr4cKs______]

You are the BEST adam.... Good work man

[@senorblondie]

My 6 year old son came running across the room when he heard Adam working the boulder start since he thought his breathing was Darth Vader. Sadly he was a bit disappointed to see it was Adam Ondra. One day he'll realize Adam is way more powerful than Vader...

[@christianspangler]

You've never seen Vader and Adam in the same place...just sayin

[@balaenopteramusculus]

Underrated comment, haha!

[@AdamOndra]

😀

[@deadsun-]

Horse Vader*

[@alexxu333]

You still have time to complete project ondra, make into a climbing head now, enjoy having a 8c kid later

[@OAmus]

I love that there was no music during the climb. Just the sounds of the rain and Adam's effort. Really transports you to the place.

[@Johnny-zs6vo]

0:35 Adam - "Well, this waterfall is not supposed to be here." Meanwhile, saying that while sitting on a couch out there in the crag

[@pbla4024]

Two couches, but that's recent addition.

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

Always gotta have a place to shower after climbing

[@clarkkent5318]

lmao bro fr

[@althejazzman]

Couches only appear in extreme weather situations.

[@themeatpopsicle]

I love that Adam is talking about how style influences grade. It really illustrates how academic the grading discussion really is at the top end of the scale

[@davidwhitford4286]

It's really cool that Adam is climbing Inga in the rain, the same conditions that forced Koyamada to establish the route in the first place, the shots of the waterfall are epic!! Really amazing video Adam!

[@Chase3141]

doing an 8a boulder problem with no crash pads is a real Adam Ondra moment

[@mateherbay2289]

'Conditions are... well, this waterfall isn't supposed to be here...' LOL

[@growproduct]

I loved the storytelling on this route from your teenage years

[@tuftofflowers]

The energy, the cinematography, the weather, the color grading and Adam’s climb. Masterpiece 💖 thank you for the video.

[@AdamOndra]

Glad you enjoyed it! AO Team

[@thenayancat8802]

Good to know that blowing raspberries for power is an established technique and I'm not alone in it

[@baa9223]

I believe it may be a technique to relax and conserve power for the future screams

[@AdrianTangMusic]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@HoratioHoodoo]

I'm gonna take it a step further and whinny. Will report back.

[@kazo0ie]

Check out the OG raspberrie blower, Cedric Lachat.

[@rolandkan3468]

Loved this shorter video. Perfect length for its content. This channel has great details like the rest-times which are very informative.

[@richardegger7341]

when you clip the first quickdraw and already be pumped! 😅

[@scruffy1767]

Insane strength. can’t wait to become a better climber you inspire me👍🏼

[@Kaiwala]

I just love watching your process when you climb routes like this. The setting with the rain was very lovely too - calming to my ears ☺

[@markusagstner5413]

Best thing about your videos are those emotional shouts! Gives you ghosepumps to hear and see it and you want to watch more videos!

[@سفيانالثوري-م6س]

I enjoyed watching this video, congratulation for finishing 8 c+ route

[@jeffo4817]

Amazing as usual. Thanks Adam

[@conserve_climber]

I love hearing the Adam yelps!!

[@lagiraferock]

Congrats ! That's a few minutes from my home, thrilled that you came here and send tour "project" :) i would have loved to meet you in person ! Cheers !

[@АлександрКрайнык]

Очень круто!

[@giovannifilippi1303]

Adam è un esempio di vita. Non solo è un climber unico, ma una persona positiva al massimo. Sempre sorridente, gentile, mai pieno di sé. Mi ricorda a tratti come modo di porsi Manolo. Per fortuna non messner

[@Deckageskate666]

Being able to project and send a new route in a day is insane. We sometimes think “it’s only 8c+/9A” because it’s ondra. But 99% of climbers could project 8c+ their whole life and not send. My mind is blown by Adam.

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

For Adam, climbing 9a "...makes for a pretty good day".😮

[@aligator5255]

8c+ ;)

[@nickkealiiclimbs]

Adam just running side quests now

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

Adam in heaven when a waterfall covers for his screams😊

[@timothyramponi6921]

I turned my volume down because I didn't want my neighbor to hear lol

[@climbjacksprat]

Its interesting to see how quickly Adam plugs back in now after failing and letting out his yell. Honestly I think doing comps has helped him with that. You can actually see him reset almost immediately

[@ayebig2243]

Cool to see Adam fighting on some rad old style climb

[@jankra]

SUPER! Hlavně krásná skála a ta pohovka tam :D Ideální

[@zivotvkrosne2132]

Beautiful crag!

[@Hospiiii]

Adam! Do you know what would also make a pretty good day? Checking out DNA of Seb Bouin! No need to climb it just yet, just have a look and show us the amazing route with your cinematography 😊

[@naturalimmunity3040]

Damn Adam you are unstoppable. Good work.

[@CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

It feels so sureal to see someone climb 9a so easy. A mythical grade that is just a day project for Adam

[@manicantsettleonausername6789]

Loved the story of you coming back to the area where you made such great memories as a teenager and finishing the climb! Well done

[@timothyramponi6921]

Adams got an excellent production team!

[@AdamOndra]

I couldn't agree more 🙂

[@niconiconii4561]

I've decided that I'm watching Adam Ondra videos until I sleep. Not before I do some hangboarding though

[@nico.perez025]

Masterpiece of a climb and video, always enjoy when a new video comes out!!

[@AdamOndra]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@tamaragrottker7677]

Nice climbing area. I like the sofa!

[@Nicoandthepage]

Beautiful content! I love watching Adam climb on rock

[@Midnight_Lightning]

I love Adam 💪❤️

[@petrhavrda7925]

Uzasny vykon a nadherna podivana Adame💪👍 V tom spodnim boulderu jsem tu rval za tebe😁 Tesim se na dalsi video😉

[@troysmith6929]

Well done man! Those bits look insanely tough!

[@oloncic]

loved the story behind this ascent. the journey 👌🏻

[@Razarex]

Adam completed the main story and is now going back and completing old side quests

[@louiehennis8938]

i love these kind of videos

[@Teirei]

Great video! Looks like a really fun climb

[@RealSalica]

The filming and editing of that video was amazing !

[@AdamOndra]

Laco Korbel!

[@callumormond6266]

New haircut looking crazy fresh 💯

[@nathanelward]

Yes Adam! Great climb buddy!

[@daphnisetchloe]

That shot at 7:20 is breathtaking

[@NeetonDaviel]

INCREDIBLE 😀

[@MauriBrix]

Wow amazing climb🎉

[@decheng6412]

07:33 when he clips in that echo off the walls is insane

[@jd32k]

It’s like watching a praying mantis walking upside down

[@bokaj5000]

i really like the stories from young adam

[@Govinda_005]

Legend

[@Yuwa-we2ep]

very cool

[@fgarbl3992]

Very impressive, extremelly hard at the bottom and still very demanding till the top, even for Adam. What about this new way of exhausting the air like a horse ? I watched a video of Cedric Lachat onsighting Chimpanzodrome (Saussois, France), he was breething the same way😂.

[@kevinlacayo822]

Incredible strong 💪🏼

[@TheKaryo]

looks like a cool boulder problem

[@finesttroll7379]

Probably the best climber I've seen . With a rope of course.

[@denclimber]

I am relieved that the couch is still there 16 years later

[@AlexeiDrummond]

Very cool! Darth grader says 8A+ boulder -> good rest -> 8c route is 9a :) But he seemed to suggest that both the boulder problem and the route are easier with kneepads, thus hard 8c+ overall.

[@aaroncaldwell9298]

always nice to take down a route that eludes you for so long. It seems that knee pad still didn't help much with a nasty looking cut, wonder if that was what half the power screams were about lol

[@dexterscott7017]

“I thought this was impossible to climb” has a much different meaning in context than I was lead to believe by the title.

[@AdamOndra]

I actually really thought so back then 🙂

[@iakobus]

Kneebar foothold broke at 6:41 😬

[@pachko7164]

Oh shit lmao

[@jskemp4]

Good catch!

[@EkoBiohazard]

Love that he channeled Chris Sharma by saying 'psaaat!' in the second try 😂

[@KarelSeeuwen]

It is interesting when you are young that even a grade harder that you have ever climbed might seem like an impossibility. There was a climb Kachung (21) at Mount Arapiles (Australia) which was my dream climb when the hardest i had done was an 18. My wake up call came when i did No Exit (25) without even knowing the grade. If you are young and still growing, don't get down if you can't seem to climb something, you're body might just be a little to small at the time; climb anything that you enjoy, and it will all come together.

[@simonjenkins9296]

Talk about an awkward first clip! Beautiful music!

[@tuuriewuur8150]

8:00 HUAWHHHH 👹🤬👺🤬8:34 It was fun ☺👍

[@michaeldruce9930]

"Which is my SECOND 8C ever....When I was 12." LOL bruh

[@gewinnste]

I don't know man, seeing Adam fighting like that and needing two tries (plus the experience on the route from back then) makes me think of 9a/+ rather than 8c+.

[@leoingson]

Very nice idea to skip the long rests, but display rest times!

[@HoratioHoodoo]

I like the new horse noises

[@계림은녕이네민박]

❤❤

[@tomh.6379]

4:14 the blbllblb is so real

[@DrewWithington]

Adam could teach power-screaming to expectant mothers.

[@walkaboutwilliams]

I think I heard a Psssaaat... thrown in there for good measure!

[@ZothEm]

Did Koyamada use a knee pad? Or long trousers? How much difference does it make? I would love to see someone do it in trousers to see. It looks so terrible hard. How is somebody resting or recovering without?

[@Po3try27]

That looked so hard

[@tweston23]

I have so many questions about how and why there are couches there

[@UrsantaHoHoHo]

all your high heels are insane

[@floodo1]

unreal

[@brunogssouza1]

8C at 12 is crazy

[@pelfinho]

8c

[@whereistheline8964]

So true. There might be some incredible talent and dedication involved 🤷‍♂️

[@graemero5532]

Thanks for not playing the music over his actual climbing 😉

[@Nicolas.strack]

Where is that place? It’s amazing 🤯🇫🇷

[@AdamOndra]

Gorges du Loup, Deverse sector. Not too far from Nice, South of France.

[@rainerheld5570]

Darth grader gives 9a for the combination of a 8A+ boulder and a 8c route, even if there were a good rest in between. This rest doesn‘t look so good to me…

[@Matjo7588dk]

Me just trying to think if there is anything I could finish I started 16 years ago.. Dedication.

[@jasondrury5623]

8c at 12 years old is unfathomable

[@SagemanYT]

hello, well done

[@mangiari]

Delicate second bolt to skip 😮

[@Olli999Olli999]

Looks like more bolts further up, im wondering what is it?

[@AdamOndra]

This route doesn't have extension yet, but further right, there is PuntX 9a (or 9a+ now after some holds broke)

[@sox-rah]

I could image this in grab

[@greghelm843]

Does it depress anyone else he was climbing harder stuff than you'll ever look at when he was 12

[@benjam1n_sb580]

When did you last use resoled shoes??

[@AdamOndra]

Sometimes I do it, resoled shoes (once they are resoled early enough) could be better than new ones

[@HourRomanticist]

Are you trying DNA at all while you are/were in France?

[@deltalima6703]

Omg. What is this? O4?

[@maxuruur8530]

Official O2?

[@gurito4374]

O1/8c+/9a

[@PatPush]

Hard to stay motivated if you're hanging on the first rest after 2 minutes of very hard climbing, without even clipping one quickdraw 😂

[@Borko430]

Its very normal to climb your second 8c at 12 years old. Yeah
