[@AdamOndra]

Thank you, Tom and Pete, for excellent crack schooling me in such a fantastic place as the Cellar definitely is! I'll come back! We are releasing another great video from the cellar and Peak District today at 4pm CET on my KZbin channel!

[@Elyzeon.]

Excited for it! Enjoyed this video immencely and can't wait for more.

[@WideBoyz]

Can't wait for the video Adam, and for some shuffling later this week 😉

[@KlaresGedenken]

@@WideBoyz what's that shuffling you're talking about? 😱🤔

[@korok2619]

Letsgoo we will have confirmed O2 in the cellar!

[@MPHshoots]

ODawg has the most shredded calf muscles I’ve seen so far (for a climber.)

[@Bobbzorzen]

I love how the cellar is a bit like real rock, sometimes a piece get's broken off and it's now forever just a slightly harder route

[@calar8]

I love how Adam came into this not with the mindset of "I am the greatest climber in the world" but instead "I'm really looking forward to learning a bunch of new crack techniques". What a classy guy.

[@edrzl]

One could say he loves crack now

[@RaiCar1005]

Great character to essentially be the face of the sport atm

[@quincy2142]

It's why he's so good. That mentality means he's not complacent.

[@Theantmang]

his mentality is why everyone loves him, so perfect in everyway. In one of his old videos his wife explains he can be cussing a storm and screaming while falling off a climb, the moment he touches the floor hes kind adam instantly smiling and talking to everyone like nothing happened. Insane control over his emotions, i strive to be so in control of myself. A huge respect to adam for being in control of his emotions, his breathing, and his body at such a level. Cant get any better than this guy @@quincy2142

[@brekkoh]

which is precisely why he has been the greatest climber in the world for so long

[@lmao1214]

I love that the "change replica" is absolutely nothing like change. Like, not even a slight resemblance.

[@icedbannanas]

This shows the pure class of Ondra. Absolutly killing a style of climbing that he doesn't do a lot of... awesome video.

[@natorious314]

"Where the fuck is there a mono finger lock on change?" 😂

[@kam.pillay_1113]

Adam really is proving why he’s so world renowned🤯. Sport, crack,trad,comp…

[@tomasvavra8394]

boulder, bigwall...

[@phkit420]

Cellar

[@ThePolishTraveller]

Ad said he doesn't like free water solo and he is not very keen on trad. Does not mean he sucks at these quite the opposite.

[@PaulCoxC]

As an athlete at the level that Adam is, it must be such a pleasure for him to even be slightly humbled doing some climbing for a change

[@ttusna]

It was fun to see Adam go from laughs and giggles into serious mode and trying hard. Congrats on the first confirmed O2 (or higher) climb!

[@andreasvalen8802]

I'm so excited to see if the O-grades are correct!!

[@stephenpotter1396]

Been in the hospital post surgery as part of my cancer treatment and this is the content I need! Saw timing of these videos and my surgery and knew all was going to be good!

[@ariastormpearson]

Stay strong! We've been through the mill with surgeries and hospitals and there are brighter times ahead 🙏💪

[@knucklesmarks]

Lol, Pete's "I've just remembered that this is actually quite tricky". Amazing. Love your videos!

[@bastouflette2552]

21:30 Adam saying that O-grades might pass on with Hugo is so cute.

[@tristanmayfield4851]

I'm more excited to see this than Ondra winning the Olympics!

[@andrewmitchell5807]

Good, cause he won't. They wouldn't make a scoring system simple enough such that the best climber wins

[@SUM1518]

Maybe in 4 more years at the 2028 Olympics if there will be one more medal for climbing (separating lead and bouldering) hoping he won't be too old.

[@mdhindley]

Ondra is clearly a climbing genius but honestly the video got so much better when he started failing the tight toe section. And then the small footholds. Watching him problem solve and adjust was really quality entertainment. Esp since Tom and Pete and good communicators and teachers. Great vid ⭐

[@tuppsmith6415]

Guys, this is outstanding. Smiling from start to finish. Such a pleasure to watch. 👍

[@inviz88]

Just puts the thing the Wide Boyz are doing into perspective. Tom just casually did the paddle hands link and Adam had to fight really hard. They even got an ondra shout out of him.

[@marcus_too]

I loved this. It demonstrates that no matter how good you are, how accomplished you are, when you are learning a new thing it takes good teachers, trying, repeated failures, persistence, and practice. He's the best climber in the world, but even he has to work hard to accomplish his goals. I think we who just sit here watching amazing professional athletes (of any sport) underestimate how important determination and persistence is to accomplishing the highest goals. Thank you guys for this (and all your) videos.

[@PelleKuipers]

Not only that but his attitude is great. Never arrogant always eager to listen. I think there's a great lesson in being humble wherever you are with whatever you're doing.

[@hungryclone]

I’m not a climber but there’s something about how nerdy and geeky they all get about such a passion project in a basement! It’s so easy to tell how much love they have for the sport and how invested they are in what they’ve made. It’s really inspiring.

[@BradsSpace2]

Great video! Glad Adam didn't just crush everything and actually got to try hard. He seemed pretty excited by Century Crack until he tried some laps on the simulator 😂

[@Terminx666]

IT’S HAPPENING! IT’S HAPPENING! EVERYONE STAY CALM!!!!

[@WaechterDerNacht]

That was a pleasure to watch! Really impressed with how well Adam got into things here, just shows how versatile and adaptable he is as a climber. And just seems to be a nice guy to have around. Probably the type that would slightly be forgotten about when in a pub with friends but then comes out at the right time with the best lines that make the evening...

[@robertcreer8826]

That was over far too quickly!! Great video :D

[@G3m1n1MTNs]

I wonder how many climbers there are, pro or otherwise, who could do these kinds of routes over and over again. Such a fun video to watch!

[@mercylessplayer]

Also shows just how amazingly good Pete and Tom are at what they do

[@DekarNL]

It's unbelievable that someone who's not specialized in crack can be so good at it, even with it being Adam Ondra. Next I would love to see him try and climb the Century crack with you guys😊

[@benjaminasher6770]

I feel so lucky to be able to watch something special happening in the moment. I feel like the cellar will be remembered in the climbing community for generations.

[@Dave1507]

Yeah, like The School Room!

[@luckyspurs]

20:57 Love Pete's excited "oh, is he going to O0 it face".

[@edwardshelley3488]

Joke's on you I was going to buy them at full price this morning!

[@Meta-Drew]

I was beaming smiling the entire time watching this, my cheeks are genuinely tired Huge thanks to Adam, the Wide Boyz, and everyone who pestered Adam to get down to the cellar - what a treat it was.

[@samuelruprecht8060]

Watching the cellar videos upside down is *so much* fun :D I love to see Adam walk weirdly on all fours 😂❤

[@gamantri6540]

INCREDIBLE! Probably the video I enjoy the most over the last few years! Deffinitely a high point on this channel, and my personal favourite was watching Adam kicking spiderwebs with his knees on the century crack recplica!

[@snofflan3148]

I honestly didn’t expect the wide boys would be able to keep up with Adam but it’s like really even

[@mitch1788]

Cellar crack > Olympic Gold. Olympics comes around every 4 years. Cellar in Sheffield has only been attacked by handful of climbers and is 'O' grade certified. 😆

[@stechurchill154]

That was proper sick; Adam is a genuinely great sport! The cellar O-grades are now a thing! Great film!

[@meganwong9508]

Fantastic series so far! Watching Adam climb was really, really cool. Even though he is known as one of the best climbers in the world, and has crack climbing experience under his belt, I still think it's interesting to see someone a bit more out of their element. I think his determination, eagerness, and just overall curiosity with climbing movement/styles was really evident throughout this video and you could see the focus he had to learn and really test his crack skills. Adam thinks about climbing in such a different way and it's great that you were able to highlight some of that through this vid. It's certainly very mesmerizing but also very inspiring to see. On top of all of that, just watching you guys all together was really lovely; there's a nice kindred spiritedness to it :) Though the series hasn't been released in its entirety, I want to commend you guys on bringing this project together. I can't imagine it must have been particularly easy to put together (if I'm not mistaken COVID originally put a dent in some of the original plans to meet and lining up schedules/travelling plans is never an easy task), but I'm grateful that you guys were able to find the time to make this all work and give us a chance to see you all work together. Myself (and I'm sure every other fan/supporter in existence!) appreciate it a lot. Truly, thank you so much! Can't wait to see the next vids!

[@sannaekfeldt9241]

It gives me Rocky 4 vibes. When he goes to the cabin, back to basic😂

[@spiercevaughn]

Too awesome. 17:26 AO turns on beast mode 😂👌💪

[@theabbydiary9392]

Adam is always looking for ways to be better, you can tell he is absorbing everything, great to watch

[@mathiasvollmann2405]

That O 2 looks crazy 😮

[@MiklasKuoppala]

I wasn't sure I would like this type of climbing video so I put off watching it for a couple weeks. Now halfway in and I can easily say it's one of the most entertaining YT videos all year! Your warm energy combined with Adam's humble will and joy to learn and push himself in something unfamiliar makes this such a treat. Thank you for this, even though it is just a few dudes in a cellar.

[@lilz3bra]

Around minute 20, there's a tiny spider climbing up and down one of the cracks while adam is climbing that same part. It feels poetic

[@sir7000]

The hupe is real! Never been more exited for a wide boyz video ever! Also I got the wide boyz crack gloves and they are the best I’ve ever used!

[@iiiaiiin]

To see the old videos when this was joked about to seeing this actually happen is crazy

[@itszaque]

17:13 getting to hear those iconic sharp breaths and grunts in your own cellar has got to be pretty incredible

[@donkyuhbuhts540]

This might be the greatest video on KZbin... Adam is so humble to not let them scumbag his ego lol. That said his climbing career is so legendary and full of INSANE flash ascents! I think the O-gasm grading system is totally deserved and should be lightly adopted! LONG LIVE THE O-Zero!

[@mattijohansen3471]

Cool to see a dusty web covered climb on wood in a damp cellar, can make Adam make his classic screams. Really says something about how good the setting is.

[@veglord4481]

It’s inspiring to see Adam being such a humble beast in the cellar

[@iggimoore]

That was the best thing I have watched in years! Awesome. 🤓🤩

[@88Spint]

The spiderweb kills me XD They had Adam Ondra, the man, myth and ledged and they didn't even dust the place off before hand xD

[@damianhill4031]

Ondra’s initial reservations about the O grading seem to stem from his insane humility. I love how he got around it. 10/10 video all round.

[@dkitt-1]

Adam is an absolute beast! You can tell that the real "secret" to his climbing is his tenacity and his iron will. Amazing really.

[@SayWhatNow666]

Honestly this plus your first video is the perfect climbing content, laughing so much in your first video like laughing out loud like I haven’t done in ages and then this watching someone try so so hard and you guys being so supportive. You guys are the best please keep doing stuff together you are the perfect pair of people

[@42adventures79]

who wants to watch the olympics when u got THIS !!!

[@bongosock]

Adam is such an incredible athlete, and such an amazing ambassador for the sport :)

[@luckyspurs]

Some absolutely guttural noises from Adam. Brilliant combination of difficulty and achievement.

[@stephenmcdonald7385]

The amount of @wide boys videos I try to like twice is unreal

[@TheNillaSquad]

WHAT AMAZING CONTENT. Adam is an absolute beast. KEEP IT UP BOYS!!

[@VinceW187]

I love how this cellar has a world wide reputation, it shows you don't need much to build your own training area.

[@Budsport_TV]

What is the ventilation like down there? I’m a mason by trade which means I spend lots of time in basements… and I can tell ya one thing: it’s not an ideal space for working out unless is completely finished, which your space does not look to be lol. Savage stuff indeed

[@rhettetherington1351]

Absolutely awesome video. Adam is incredible

[@luckyspurs]

Adam adding alternative difficulty to the cellar by taking away the foot jams and making it about foot placement on the crimps is fantastic. This is why you do crossovers and collaborations. Beyond just our enjoyment.

[@kutte207]

Talk about sandbagging... I am absolutely certain 99% of people who regularily send 7b and upwards (myself included) could not even lift off on the easiest problem in the crack den.

[@pierregodeau4286]

What a humble legend O Dog is. Love to see it.

[@88Spint]

This really shows how hard it is, and how much the right technique and practice with it matters.

[@robmorgan1214]

The crack celler o grade system 😂 Crack cellar... sounds like a place to get hard drugs of disreputable quality. Ondra: ...no way man we've got this whole quality control system.

[@ashhodson2063]

This might be the best content on the whole tube of you!

[@driesvanoosten4417]

Oh my god, that was so great

[@ModernGunCraft]

Pete’s pain tolerance surprises me every time I watch him climb

[@pedrourcola6288]

What an awesome video. I enjoyed every minute of it. Keep them coming!

[@kauaandrade4098]

Crazy how even when Pete falls off, his hands dont leave the crack, those hands are thick

[@josvera4170]

You know for sure Adam is gonna try a real crack. Going feet first reminded me of Silence

[@deltalima6703]

Absolutely top notch. So smooth and powerful considering this is top notch crack climbing training. Impressive instruction, impressive student.

[@parptarf]

Ondra is just awesome

[@danballarin]

Well, I WAS going to go to bed at a decent time but now I'm gonna be tired tomorrow.

[@luckyspurs]

Adam couldn't just say the O-grade was a great system. That would have been way to self-indulgent and self-eulogising for his humble nature.

[@letsallbe-friends1120]

*Amazing vid, well worth the wait!* 🙌🙌 *Mebbe you'll have to rename the cellar to the O2 Arena.* 😉

[@edwardhayes5229]

One of a series???? Cannot wait

[@glebel375]

17:35 didn't know chewbaca knew how to climb

[@heitorak]

This was great to watch. Thanks!

[@pdebra6542]

Such a pleasure to watch!

[@philipk6547]

Absolutely brilliant video!

[@thexbigxgreen]

I love watching a bunch of world class tryhards enabling each other and operating at peak performance

[@Hhkkvh]

Definitely worth the wait!! The o grade is here to stay

[@ashhodson2063]

I honestly believe that if Tom, Pete and Adam went looking together they could all find and accent a 9C style combining route together.

[@ShooterMcGavin32]

This makes me so happy!!

[@Elija_H.]

Why is Adam climbing crack with the speed climbing shoes though, have I missed something 😂

[@tvortbox]

A SERIES OF VIDEOS?! YES

[@chaosengine4597]

32:00 you know it's serious when Adam pulls a Magnus...

[@middle-agedclimber]

The Change part was absolutely hilarious😂

[@kennethmacleod111]

One word, AWESOME!

[@ItchyMagician]

I really hope Adam does find a 9C with a crack that the wide boys can help with

[@tinu96]

Amazing video, could've watched a whole uncut version!

[@dimitrisglezos9617]

Truly an enjoyable video, you guys!

[@joelzaino7030]

Did anyone else also not see the Wide Boyz in the Video? I could only see Adam and the Fan Boyz in the cellar

[@homemsapo]

Great climbing! However as a physician i couldn't avoid to notice: @23:21 the insulation just above Adam's Head looks like asbestos... Hope It isn't, but If It is try to change It, because breathing heavily close to It in such confined space will slowly but surely cause you guys to develop chronic and debilitating lung disease (Asbestosis).

[@Simon-ly6nb]

I can't seem to find the superlike button. Also, why is the video so short? Best 40 min I've watched on KZbin in a while!

[@kickthestoat]

I can NOT wait to watch this!!

[@WenereiKaraka]

That the first time I’ve seen someone exited to climb and be comfortable in the cellar! Got to get Alex Honnold in there now

[@itzcruel4857]

"Fuck the pain. One more lap" - lmfao 😭😭😭
