Second Hardest Flash Climb I've Ever Done | Adam Ondra

Step up your climbing game and get an exclusive sneak peek into ⏩ myclimbingcourse.com.
Onsighting or flashing is a tricky discipline. One tiny mistake, and it is all over. Watch the new video on my KZbin channel about my last visit to the Slovenian crag Sopota. Home crag of Jernej Kruder. It was a very memorable one-day trip to this very special place with a waterfall, flashing a very special route, Peščena ura 9a, with a crazy dyno at the beginning. Quite the opposite of what is considered a good route for flash.

[@AdamOndra]

Hey climbers, over the past 6 months, I have been working on something special for you. To watch the sneak peek video, and be the first to know when my in-depth lead climbing course opens, go to myclimbingcourse.com. See you there! Adam

[@schugi9136]

Must be an O0 then

[@Aaron-th7xx]

Hilarious grading scheme. Most people will never climb anything but O0. Most gyms will just have everything graded O0 hahaha

[@callmetarif]

What does it mean?

[@christopherwiggins7417]

@@callmetarif it was a kind of joke grading scheme that the WideBoyz came up with for Adam, called the “Ondra Scale”. Basically it’s just “O” followed by the number of sessions it would take Adam to do the climb. So O0 means he can flash it, O1 means something Adam can climb after 1 session, and so on so forth

[@Nefville]

I love how O0 goes all the way to 9a+.

[@aurelienlivin5918]

If i do a A0, does it mean i have also a 9a level?

[@kazo0ie]

-Adam's about to clip the chains -me rushing to lower the volume.. :D

[@Josh_climbs_]

Amazing how adam can flash what many climbers never do in a lifetime 💪 absolutely insane

[@lastshadow123]

you mean 99.99% of them?

[@Jagknorr]

Jee, thanks for rubbing that in 🙄😆

[@jordi95]

@@lastshadow123 add some 9s to that 😅

[@tutecalmesoui]

To flash it, he had to work his whole lifetime...

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

I flashed this route but just in the opposite direction. You could say it kinda flashed by me - much like my life before my eyes.

[@xydezso]

Jernej looks like such a Nice guy. I can really imagine the awe of the other climbers, when someone flashes your decade-long project :D

[@buckhum55]

There is an old video of Adam where he went to Smith Rock and onsighted a classic route "Just do it" (5.14c / 8c+). The original bolter of that route, Alan Watts, was watching in pure awe and joy as Adam made his way up the route. When Adam reached the top, it looks like Alan was on the verge of tears-perhaps from seeing just how far along sport climbing has come. For route developers, I suppose there is no greater honor than having the best climbers come and perform otherworldly feats on your proudest projects.

[@SyRyanYang]

I don't think it was a decade long project for Jernej lol. He said he STARTED bolting there ten years ago.

[@danielmansour6772]

« You crazy bastard »😂

[@joaobrito2874]

I got a feeling that 2024 will be Adam’s best year in climbing since 2017

[@MaximeJean94]

Olympic medal maybe ?

[@mrmoorash]

Considering his several awkward foot slips on lead routes in competitions, I would not think like that, definitely some psychology started playing a role...

[@joaobrito2874]

@@mrmoorash it’s possible for sure, I feel that holding the title of world’s best for so long takes a toll on the mind, but what I mostly meant is that in 2023 Adam slowly began to regain the strengh he developed when he climbed silence, we saw him sending a 9b+ for the first time in years, being his second hardest send, now we saw his second hardest flash done quite casually, seeing him flow here reminded me of his physical prime quite a lot

[@joaobrito2874]

@@MaximeJean94 I was thinking more in the line of hard outdoor acents, but that would be awesome aswell

[@mrmoorash]

@@joaobrito2874 fingers crossed 🤞 😊

[@asterixzm]

Jernej is such a humble guy

[@whereistheline8964]

Such a supreme archievement, surrounded by such a nice waterfall and nature! Great!

[@hilaryho2362]

Amazing how Adam is more of a complete climber now than he was in the past. He's so inspirational

[@JulienSimon1up]

Jernej referring to the top as a "7a slab" when it looks about 20 degrees overhang :)

[@WilliamDimech]

LOL I noticed the same thing. In what world is that headwall slab?

[@AB-fh9zh]

Haha, I thought it was just me.

[@nandovancreij]

anything under 40° is basically slab

[@HourRomanticist]

It's just a negative slab lol

[@HourRomanticist]

​@@nandovancreijlol

[@burakseyhan9]

Adam’a celebration after a success always making my day ☺️ Congrats man! 💪🏻

[@AdamOndra]

Thank you 🙌

[@mpa3588]

Jernej talking about the flash feels surreal. He sounds and looks almost melancholic.

[@Parasmunt]

Great achievement to flash another 9. Well done!

[@boogaloo4640]

What a beautiful location

[@austinvance2570]

I have never seen Adam look so strong💪💪 Hes going after that Olympic Gold💪 get it baby!

[@karenkonjoryan4127]

Great achievement and amazing video. The director is killing it!

[@kenderpl]

Such an amazing looking spot for an amazing climb.

[@brendanacord]

I remember Jernej's video about this crag from a few years ago, such an awesome setting, glad to see Adam made it and what a strong flash! Good vibes all around, thanks for sharing!

[@owenwestpoley1652]

Awesome to see Adam onsight so hard! It’s also so cool to see him searching for holds after the last hard section!

[@jonahmetzer]

Your the man Adam and very generous of you to share your knowledge of climbing with others

[@aidanscarffe5256]

Very wholesome video. Friends hanging out, psyched out their minds. Adam's onsight and flash level is just crazy. Super fast ascents of hard routes still the sets Adam, Alex and Jakob apart from the rest of them.

[@SpartaSpartan117]

This one felt really special to watch! Allez Adam!

[@zivotvkrosne2132]

Oh my... Unbelievable, great job, man!

[@spellburn]

This is pure life force!! Keep it up Adam, the world appreciates your talent and effort

I can't even imagine. although he makes it look so easy. I'm 52 now and just got back into it with my kids . I was doing V0 to V2 in the gym with them. I was sore from head to toe for a solid week but I loved it! I will be a big jug climber from now on lol.

[@uncommonsimon5775]

Some still doubt he's the world's best climber...and I do not understand what they mean by that. Go Adam you can nail Prague 2024 ! 💪💯

Amazing video of the best climber in the world!🎉🎉

[@tullynation]

Great video. Jernej just seems like such a nice dude - I'd love to climb with him. This video felt like we were just watching friends hang out and rock climb together... Let alone it being a 9a flash.

[@LukeSeed]

What a beautiful crag

[@orchidpanda2253]

I notice after watching several Ondra vids that what sets him apart isn't just that he can do the most difficult climbs, but he's like a dancer, graceful and fluid in his movements - kinda like the way Roger Federer played tennis. Just beautiful to watch.

[@Supwiyaman]

Epic dude🤟
