We didn't expect it to be this HARD | with Adam Ondra and Laura Rogora

[@AdamOndra]

Hi aĺl, Arco is still full of great potential for bolting. For any grades, actually, but I tend to be the most interested in the high grades. I've really enjoyed joining forces with Stefano and Laura, bolting a new badass hard line and finding out it is much harder than we expected... 😅

[@Deathranger999]

Love these colabs, y’all should keep doing stuff like this!

[@januanderly]

This is awesome. Just wondering how far we can go in "cleaning" the rock by hammering off the softened, eroded layer. It's close to mining for new holds... Anyway, if done by professionals like you, I guess we're safe, aesthetically speaking.

[@Deathranger999]

@@januanderly Someone in another comment mentioned it’s more for safety than anything else. If they left it, it would 100% be pulled off by someone pretty soon. If you’re going to climb on the face then taking that off eliminates the danger. It definitely seems weird or bad at first but it makes sense if you think about it.

CHICOS, IGUAL OS INTERESABA PROBAR LOS PASOS CON LA VÍA MONTADA HASTA DOMINAR LA SECUENCIA, PARA EVITAR LA PÉRDIDA DE TIEMPO DE LOS VUELOS Y UNA VEZ SALGA EMPEZÁIS A HACERLA DESDE ABAJO CON TODOS LOS PASOS Y LOS REPOSOS INTERIORIZADOS. CREO QUE AMORTIZARÉIS MÁS EL TIEMPO, ACORTARÉIS EL PROCESO DE INTERIORIZAR Y DOSIFICARÉIS MUCHO MÁS LA FUERZA. LA CONCENTRACIÓN IGUAL SE HACE MUCHO MÁS DINÁMICA AL PODER REPETIR LOS PASOS QUE FALLAN DIRECTAMENTE. IGUAL LO HACÉIS ASÍ Y HABLO DE MÁS, NO LO SE, PERO VEO QUE ES UN MODO QUIZÁS MÁS PRÁCTICO DE DOMINAR EL PROCESO, SI NO SALE A VISTA A LA PRIMERA Y SE VE QUE CLARAMENTE HAY VARIOS PASOS QUE DEPURAR EVITAR LOS VUELOS ES UN AHORRO EN TODOS LOS SENTIDOS, NO SUFRE EL MATERIAL, EL DESGASTE FÍSICO Y PSICOLÓGICO ES MENOR Y LA ASIMILACIÓN DE TODA LA SECUENCIA SE HACE MÁS CONSTANTE HASTA DOMINAR LA SECUENCIA COMPLETA COMO UNA PRIMERA FASE Y UNA VEZ DOMINADA AL ABRIR DESDE ABAJO SOLAMENTE HABRÁ QUE COORDINAR EL ENCADENAMIENTO EN UNA SEGUNDA PARTE, PUES LOS CHAPAJES TAMBIÉN HAY QUE INTERIORIZARLOS, PERO TENIENDO LA SECUENCIA ASIMILADA SEGURAMENTE SE REDUZCAN LOS PEGUES Y EL PROYECTO SALGA ANTES Y CON MENOS ESFUERZO. UN SALUDO Y AUPA.

It's cool to see more cameramen getting involved with climbing. They looked very new to the sport, but that's understandable. I can't wait to see their videography skills!

[@chuckz28]

I love seeing Stefano and Adam together setting routes and climbing. Reminds me of the Mellow crew. Getting the best sport climbers together.

[@walterlotte4215]

At least this crew won't inflate grades.

Stefano's sense of humor is so great. If he wasnt a climber he could make a living doing standup comedy for sure.

Loved that this wasn't just a bunch of dudes. Laura is the bomb. Also the music was baller! Especially when paired with Stefano's glasses haha.

[@cjm5002]

Best climbing colab I have seen this year! The world of climbing needs more of these kinds of videos instead of all the heavy gym focus.

[@chrissmithdoe2100]

this is one of the coolest climbing videos i've ever seen. this feels like a completely new genre, this collaboration of 3 very different top level climbers to establish and bolt new routes... wow!

Thank you for this collaboration. My 3 favorite climbers in one vid. So awesome to see the progress. Next time invite Janja too:)

[@miguelcamel8079]

[@kleiber1729]

I love how these 2 seem to become real friends sharing experience, do things together. Great climbing *community* content.

[@angelojumped]

Seeing this shortly after the petzl legend tour in Arco and discovering some of the history of route setting in this phenomenal place makes this even more meaningful! That feeling of one generation passing the torch to the next. Very inspiring

[@andenmal6735]

Awesome that you are sharing a small part of what goes into route development with the worldwide climbing community. Many climbers do not fully understand/appreciate the work and multiple complexities involved in developing and making a route safe for future climbers, regardless if it’s trad or sport. It was awesome that you showed Ondra removing the rock. His reaction was priceless 🤣. He’s not chipping or manufacturing a hold, he’s just removing something that could possibly land on your belayer. Route development is very often a misunderstood, thankless, hard, and dirty, but very rewarding job. 👏👏

[@Noshuas]

I hope it's even harder than they think. It'd be nice for there to be a long term project for them.

[@TristanCleveland]

Yeah, but it looks like Adam will send next session. He's one move off.

[@gabriel_mignacn]

It's fantastic to see this colabs. Three legends climbing and bolting together

[@VorstopZolder]

Video's on your channel and on Adam's channel feel like a good knee bar rest during lunch break. I'm now ready for the next crux (albeit in a desk chair!) Thanks Stefano, Laura and Adam for this one. Hope you'll work together more frequently. Love the thumbnail 🤣

[@spotiuana]

So nice to see Laura involved in this project. It's always a pleasure to see such a strong female climber.

As well as the safety glasses I'm a big fan of ear plugs - drills are really noisy, and I'd like to keep being able to hear you describing how much fun you're having. Grazie Stefano!

[@tiamat87]

Stefano, I can not emphasize enough how awesome your videos are! I also love when you team up with other climbers like in this video, always great fun to watch. Creating new routes is like the bonus ontop :D

[@DragoTC]

Did you really clip that quickdraw at the 8a anchor ( at about 10:46) THROUGH the wiregate of the anchor carabiner? Or does it just look like that?

[@hemasgeir470]

Laura seems both so strong and flexible! Amazing capacities! Nice to see how she climbs her way compare to yours guys.

[@davidbecker54]

Given all the proud Roman history around Arco, and the fact that you three all bolted this together, can I humbly suggest the name, "Triumvirate" as the perfect one for the final line?

[@hellsjester31]

For the new route's, what if you called it "the thrill of the fight" but in Italian (il brivido della lotta, or something like that), since the 8A+ is called the eye of the tiger (occhio della tigre).

[@johnhong9953]

I dont know anything Bout bolting routes so can someone explain to me about cleaning and why it's ethically OK to break the first layer of soft rock (like Adam did)? Very curious because I thought in the climbing world breaking rock is a big No No

[@ap0gee]

from my understanding it would be for safety. the rock is already detached for the most part, so since they expect people to climb this it's not a matter of 'if' these pieces would come off but 'when'. in this case it's safest to knock the rock off now in a controlled manner, rather than have it fall unexpectedly during a climb and injure someone
