La Bongada 8c+/9a | Commented climb by Adam Ondra | Margalef, Spain

[@andyseverance1519]

"The kneebar is really technical. You don't want to let go and just hang upside down" Proceeds to let go and hang upside down...

[@giulioneri2703]

it's like when your father tells you "do what I tell you, don't do what I do"

[@michaelwindsor882]

This is the way I interpreted what he was saying first too. But I think he meant "it feels insecure to let go with your hands and hang, but it's such a good rest that it's worth it."

[@michaelwindsor882]

Or "when you get to the knee bar, your brain will tell you not to let go with your hands. You have to overcome that feeling so that you can rest."

[@canieatyourlunch]

I really like this format of the whole climb with narration on top of it - both in this video and the one by Stephano. Please do more like these Adam :)

[@MsPlaybook]

Completely agree, the drone footage and being able to see the entire route in the same view start to finish is phenomenal

[@jacopogerli2763]

Stephano 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Glenburrows]

Agreed, this format is awesome!

[@JoelTornatore]

I agree completely. It's interesting as well to hear his perspective on what is difficult on the climb.

Adam thanking the sharpness of the rocks because it meant less energy to hold on... What an absolute savage.

you know you´re a good climber when you get lowered into bushes and shrubs after climbing a route

[@810_Delo]

I love the commentary over the footage of you climbing, it makes it easier to understand what's going on.

[@juliarosa8035]

I loved the climbing video with you commenting on the top, Adam! Please, do more and keep the good work! Congratulations!

[@VjekoV88]

Hope you make more of these kind of videos. It's great to hear a climber insight for the moves on the route. Most of us don't climb at your level but it's great to hear your thought process.

[@music4lifesux]

please make more videos like this!! it is mesmerizing to listen to you narrate the route while watching you climb

[@aqulloskarst6378]

These videos are allways like a blockbuster for me

[@brendanacord2557]

Great video, beautiful climb! The narration is spot on as well, definitely the best format to go with

[@SimonWackerle]

So much fun to watch! I hope the weather gets warmer and I can go climbing again! :D

[@gely_]

beautiful as per usual Adam, keep up the hard amazing work.

[@diegoalen2131]

It is cool that you acknowledged Laura rogora's asscent, it is easy to feel that there are only men (usually the same 8-10 crazy strong people btw) in the top level climbing when its not like that at all, and any effort to recognise women athletes are important

[@nsvuifnei]

Agree. But I still want to question why there's the need to say "it was EVEN done by Laura Rogora". It reminds the listener to be especially surprised when a woman does something hard. Because they usually don't, or what? Wouldn't simply saying "it was done by incredibly strong Laura Rogora" have acknowledged her FFA in a better way? Happy to discuss :)

High quality video! Really nice style of commenting aswell.

[@surfcello]

Spectacular! I'd love to see this in 3D, particularly the drone shot starting at 5:20, where I couldn't believe my eyes seeing Adam hang from the rope all the way at the bottom of the frame, in front of all the brush and probably much lower than the belayer.

[@andulasis6283]

Seeing all those clips of you out there really makes me want to try rockclimbing

[@ottokrawelke4234]

You should definitely!

[@Lordloss36]

I gotta say, I love this style of video, where youre climbing and narrating it as you go. Very enjoyable

[@jamiemusclip1606]

Awesome vid, route and climber!! Would love to see you climbing in Rodellar Adam!! Keep the great content coming!!

[@susanjane4784]

I enjoy watching Adam climb. I enjoy them, even more, the voiceovers because they are so educational. But I do wish more climbers took the effort in filming and editing to compensate for how much things are flattened. A few context and elevation shots along with a route or profile map would make all the difference. Most viewers have never been to these international locations and don't have climbing guides for all over the world.

[@Pink0745]

Great video, love this format.

[@betwixt3193]

Adam says "I was getting a flash pump", auto subtitle says "I was getting a flesh bump"! Not a good point on the route for either... Great commentary btw

[@sylvainbarthel8991]

yes nice landscape... when he comes down from the roof, he is far back away in the bush ^^

[@arebalwithacause]

Wow, watching where he came down really showed how steep that climb was!

[@rachaellongobardi4630]

Adam you are amazing so powerfully motivated and you have my utmost respect, I have a question and it’s probably because I am a nurse and not a climber so even though I love watching your videos sometimes I notice things or think about things completely unrelated so here is my question, when ur indoors training at gyms is there any concern about the chalk dust as it’s concentrated in the air, breathing in this dust is unavoidable when ur in these spaces, have u ever been concerned about this urself do u have chest x-rays periodically to monitor the clarity of your lungs, thanks Rachael Australia

How many tries?

[@zdenekjirasek8899]

He was trying this route for a day in 2015 and in the video it was his first serious try that day.

[@leifgriem9753]

Was this a flash?

[@zdenekjirasek8899]

No.

[@CyGuy2]

the computer cc: 'I was getting a flesh bump."

[@maikburbach1348]

To see Adam climbing around the corner of the roof without clipping the quickdraw makes me sweat 😅

[@johnmcclane264]

and there its again - whats the benefit of holding the rope up at 00:34 ? does the climber has to pull less? no - iam quite sure this has zero impact in weight etc. i only see the disadvantage. if the climber needs more slack, he pulls the rope, the the belayers arm is still fully stretched, the grigri gets stuck, the belayer has to move his arm down very fast - chaos.

[@owen9535]

I do it too. Not thought much until now. At the point where belayer stops feeding he’s aware that climber is clipping so holding rope to maybe give one two extra inches if it’s just short, without having to release rope. Also because climber is just clipping at that instant it could go bad... your hand is there to take in super quick. I’d rather my belayer have two hands on at that exact moment

[@owen9535]

Adam said it was hard and steep off the deck. If he falls and belayer is trying to fumble more rope out he gets hurt for sure. That belayer is doing exactly right in my opinion

[@olivia-zzushi]

Sweet

How many attempts Adam needed to send the route?

@@gaspardg119 yes, I got this, but I was wondering the grade for Adam.

[@simonshulfer7690]

Hello

[@Mia-qw6xz]

What did he mean by female ascent? Is there a different route that’s easier for women or is it just because they’re less physically strong so they do the same route but slower? Sorry I’m not a climber

[@waynelin6238]

It means that a female (in this case, Laura Rogora) climbed the exact same route, with exactly the same rules. There is no time limit on an outdoor climb, nor are there separate rules for males and females.
