La Dura Complete: The Hardest Rock Climb In The World

Chris Sharma and Adam Ondra spent two years working together to climb La Dura Dura (5.15c / 9b+), the world's hardest climb at the time. This film tells the story of their unique collaboration and shows Adam's historic first ascent and Chris' second ascent.

This is one of the most significant projects in the history of sport climbing. And we're lucky enough to have it documented. Chris Sharma, the strongest climber of his generation, passing the torch to Adam Ondra, the strongest of his, by completing what was at the time THE hardest route on earth. That's pretty damn special.

[@euphoricpoison2095]

Have u seen Alex, man free solo El cap

[@music4lifesux]

@@euphoricpoison2095 Hahahahahaha yes. I have heard of this man named Alex. That is a very different kind of climbing: long form endurance, big wall climbing that normally takes days, and Alex's feat is monumental, one of the most incredible athletic performances in history. This video with Chris and Adam, however, is a different feat entirely, and what is truly amazing about it is, again, the fact that Chris is essentially passing the torch to Adam. Alex is an incredible athlete and badass, and Chris and Adam would never dream of soloing like he does, but when it comes to sheer strength and climbing ability, these guys are miles ahead of him.

I first watched this video in my first year of climbing around 4 years ago. It amazed me then and gave me the drive to get better. As I got better I rewatched it, probably a year or two later, again, it helped to burn the fire inside of me brighter. I just rewatched again, after climbing for 4 years and it is just as amazing and just as inspiring as it was 4 years ago. This video has been an instrumental part in my climbing journey, and truly, in my opinion, the best video on KZbin.

For the "why they scream" question, researchers at Drexel University found that when subjects were asked to use a handgrip that they exerted 10 percent more energy than simply exhaling. They're not sure on the exact mechanics, but they postulated it creates a fight or flight response that gets the adrenaline going. Not definitive but there could be a physiological reason why they grunt. Until I see a silent guy beat a 9b+ climb, can't say whether it's just pointless noise.

[@0hhSly]

sugasugaki well ondra called his 9c climb « silence » because he was in a zone and stayed silent the whole climb

[@moved2bitchute779]

ANYONE that's pushed hard enough on anything that requires a burst of adrenaline knows that this is 100% involuntary. It's the animal inside saying, "Not today, failure."

Sharma has been very open about saying that collaborating with Ondra on this made him a better climber, made him level up his game. I don't think Sharma could've sent it without Ondra, it certainly reignited something inside him.

God I’m so bummed that I haven’t been following this sport longer. I knew nothing about climbing until Free Solo came out, and I guess that’s kind of like if you were to watch the Super Bowl your first time watching football. So then I watched the Dawn Wall and Silence and a lot of the well know pieces on rock climbing. I personally have no interest in climbing, I be been boxing for about 12 years, but idk what it is but specifically, but as a spectator, climbing might be my favorite sport to just observe. I’m totally hooked. Now I spend so much time watching anything climbing related and all the awesome documentaries and it’s like a new hobby for me. There is something about not knowing what the human limitations are that leaves a lot of room for these monumental leaps in skill and ability that people achieve in climbing that blows me away. I think Tommy Caldwell said it in Free Solo that “ people who know a little about climbing are like ah he says he’s got it, he can do it, and people that REALLY know climbing are freaked out”. I’ve never been to Yosemite so I didn’t really understand that gravity...no pun intended...of what he was doing and I finally made it to Yosemite this summer, somewhat because of free solo, and dude....the idea of someone up on El Capitan without a rope seriously makes my balls hurt. I still don’t think a lot of people understand how crazy that was. Anyway, for any climbers out there, you guys deserve more credit and as many fans as the best athletes in the world get and keep pushing the boundaries.

I wonder if people exactly realize how fuckingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg difficult this is. These guys are hanging onto literal half-finger spaces, by their whole body weight. Literal half-toe lengths as well. And then they have to concentrate all their body weight onto these tiny tiny spaces. And they do this over and over and over again. I don't think it's exaggeration to say that 99.9% of ppl wouldn't be able to do the hardest part even once.

I used to rock climb at a local YMCA. Once I finished all the practice walls with grips on them, I started on the literal flat walls that are similar to these, only shorter. The wall was like scratching tape to find the seam.

[@TechAnnie773]

This is an amazing climb. It's incredible. Well done! So impressive.

[@jerrywbrice]

These guys are beasts. Ultra impressive strength, nerve, and technique.

[@sergiocarmona7675]

I live 20 km from there and one day i was walking this way, cause there is beautiful romanic church in the end of this pathway. i didnt know that this rock wall next to Oliana is call " la dura". And the most funny thing is that i have seen Adam Ondra training there, and i had no idea that this was so important. If you can, visit L'alt d'urgell, in (Lleida), Catalonia, Spain. Is one of the most beautiful and amaizing territories of Spain. Forget the crowdy Barcelona and come, its just 2 h in a bus from Barcelona, next to Andorra.

[@slinkytreekreeper]

2 hours on a Spanish bus with no air con, dusty roads and insane heat. Pass, get an airport :)

[@sergiocarmona7675]

@@slinkytreekreeper Dusty roads, insane heat? Do you think that we live in the desert and under constant 40 degrees? This is Catalonia man, quite different than the rest, especially the north, could be normal 25 to 30 degrees in summer (in winter is cold as fuck), full of vegetation and no dust... I don't know which topics you believe but you live in another world. It's like if I think that America is only the desert of Arizona, like in the movies...

To describe this type of climbing as anything other than death-defying, is a gross injustice. These guys are incredible.

Just got into really diving into rock climbing vids and I think it’s funny how Adam is the only climber that I’ve seen that screams while he climbs. But I love it since it reminds me of power lifters whenever they do a heavy ass lift.
