Is Adam Ondra WORSE at crack climbing than we thought?

[@AdamOndra]

Thanks again, guys! We are currently cracking hard in the legendary Czech Adršpach climbing area! Something's up, wait for it!

[@MGPL_]

sir, you need to do the full route. We need the true O rating for the full route

[@agp10701]

Wow...we wanna see that! What O grade is? 😊

[@GoogleyGaz]

Whats the O grade?

[@williambooth5060]

Make sure you give us the O grade Adam

[@Hopeful_Wanderer]

I'm keeping an eye on this for the O grade

[@durabelle]

You need to do more of these videos where you're just chatting about climbing, this is hilarious! The dry, extremely British humour works 😆

[@jono6379]

Yeah utterly hilarious. I feel sorry for any non native English speakers that watch this not realising that they are joking

[@Hopeful_Wanderer]

YES!!!! That's what I said! Climbing commentary videos!!! Amazing craic

[@durabelle]

@@jono6379 I'm not native either, still hilarious.

[@krischi_mk]

Yesss!

[@niklasb6849]

We need a podcast! The widecast! Or the boyzcast?

[@paulmitchell5349]

You guys going to Adam's favourite Czech climbing wall seems like a fair balance, and see what he marks you out of 10.

[@bastouflette2552]

Pete was actually at the opening of the Hangar (Adam's climbing gym) this weekend. He made a crack boulder problem

[@JanNovak-pg8oe]

I would rather seen them in Adršpach again. 😀

[@palomacarrion2356]

The part about how likely it'd be for Ondra to come back made me laugh out loud 😂

[@Tidusryan]

Yea this part was hillarous

[@korok2619]

[@HD-ty8ng]

Same, was tearing up

[@adamnorton3506]

There is something very wholesome about you guys! It’s so refreshing to watch something with no ads, no pushy marketing message, or bigheadedness. Thank you. More videos of you guys, just chatting 👍🏼

[@andrewmitchell5807]

No ads? Guess you didn't see their signature holds sitting in every frame

[@adamnorton3506]

@@andrewmitchell5807 True, but they never mentioned them nor did the video have any advert breaks, which many videos now have. Thanks for your encouraging comment, Legend.

[@iantaakalla8180]

Also, they are pretty openly a brand. They have advertised their gloves, their cracks, and other projects on this channel. It has been corporate, but not entirely.

[@TheMerryDwarf]

I'm so glad he didn't crush everthing. Local boys did themselves proud!

[@WideBoyz]

Thanks 😀

[@piplewis5139]

This format is making me think that a WideBoyz podcast would be class 🤣

[@SayWhatNow666]

It’s hard to forget a concept that strong, what an amazing sentence

[@SayWhatNow666]

Please you two just carry on together, I like wideboys content but I love you 2 together so much

[@dcdoestri]

If Hugo is the 2nd generation Ondra using O grades, would they be H2O grades?

[@Dave1507]

I see and respect what you did there, but technically it would be O2H, because the big O passes the system down 2 H ugo ;)

[@trevr9924]

I love how harsh you guys are at grading the various aspects of the visit. Idk why but that is hilarious to me. Most people would just be like yeah 10/10 on everything! And Pete won't give a single 10

[@Zraknul]

I think we've been over conditioned to hand out top marks to the point we can't even differentiate anything. "10/10" isn't "I'm happy with it", it's literally the best anyone can possibly achieve. I don't give out perfect marks easily (so I don't review products/people often because it's actively harmful to them), but things like set the record for highest grade flashed in an area is actually 10/10.

[@xxproffxx]

@@Zraknul totally agree. To say someone gave a 110% effort but to rate that 9/10 is kinda ironic. BUT i do think pete is actually joking here with some ratings

[@Zraknul]

@@xxproffxx I definitely don't take him too seriously about it :)

[@hidden_sense9839]

Hey, didn't Ondra say that he would come back? I reckon he will design his own crack volumes with euroholds, set up his own cellar, drop that parcel with his own style cracks, extend the 9a proj in the cellar and flash that beast of an english crackathlon! Don't underestimate the o-dog ;). Thank you for all the videos, it was a blast and a dream come true! PS: I would not be surprised if Adam found a 9b or harder with some very serious portion of crack climbing.

[@dougthebuilder1]

Also in a world of now clinical gyms, I think Ondra appreciated the oldskool feel. Much like when he visited the schoolroom. You should have asked him if he planned to move to Sheffield, the home of real climbers!

[@deltalima6703]

I hope adam returns for another session sometime. He made us proud and seemed to be challenged too. 👍🔥💪

[@TheNillaSquad]

I love adams energy! Every single time i see that guy he is smiling. What an inspiring person to be around

[@meganwong9508]

Thank you guys again so much for putting together this series - it was really great to watch! I also love the final break down of all your thoughts on how it went. I really appreciated the thoughts you guys had, especially the reflection back on Century Crack. It's funny how you sometimes don't realize certain things until someone else hops on and you can view it a lot more objectively. Either way, it's really awesome insight. I also think the seed has most certainly been planted :). Cheers!

[@Max_Alive]

2:30 Tom doing the Macarena. 😆

[@nicolasgauthier5359]

God I love the brit humour. Subtle sarcasm, never quite sure of what's serious. You guys made my day with this video. Cheers

[@felipebuson]

Can O-grades be downgraded if Hugo does it faster?

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

So much pressure on a mere toddler....

[@bazzzzt]

Thanks so much for this edit. Saved my day, Wide Boyz!

[@highonakaya7644]

more and more i realize that adam is so good because of his just pure passion for the sport

[@4801534501]

I'm unsurprised with his interest in the bridge roofs. In his youtube bit on that arrette off a highway he looked so excited to be buildering!

[@BoulderLab]

Really enjoyed your diagnosis of the Ondra visit 🤩 Also, the banter! Lovely!

[@ciepularys]

[@robertcreer8826]

Glad you realised you can give your own scores Pete!

[@maximeferre6903]

You two are such a genuinely hilarious duo !

[@lupnetraam]

Love this format, laughed so much.

[@uilleachan]

Seeing the O-Dog himself in the crack cellar and making a great job of it, has been the highlight of my armchair KZbinry year thus far. To job guys.

[@jwest8330]

"it was a dream come true, it was one of my highlights.....of that day" had me cracking up =D

[@M0dElite]

Why did Adam use the speed climbing shoe for the project, when he clearly had TC pros with him for the century crack simulator?

[@Loriethalion]

It's been fantastic to watch, keep up the great work boys!

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

The O grades are very much like Gill's original B grades for boulders, which was superceded by Font and V grades. People prefer an open ended ladder system.

[@IMTURTLE92]

Honnold and Caldwell in the crack cellar next please! 😂

[@AntonAdelson]

Oof!

[@durabelle]

I don't think Honnold would be specifically good at the climbing part, but he's so funny I'd watch it anyways! (Obviously not saying he's bad at climbing, just that his area of excellence has more to do with heights and fearlessness than horisontal cracks in a cellar. Although it's been said many times that nothing is safe in the cellar, so maybe the risk would still suit him 😆)

[@IMTURTLE92]

@@durabelle Honnold does climb off widths though, he’s lead climbed Belly Full Of Bad Berries like Ondra & Pete have. He’s also featured in Pete’s crack climbing book.

[@durabelle]

@@IMTURTLE92 Mm, I guess you're right, maybe he'd be better than I'm giving him credit for! I mainly went by what he's most known for, and having recently seen the video of him bouldering in Font and not topping quite a few of them reminded me that he's still a human 😆

[@HBontekoe]

Good to know I will forever be climbing O-zero's 😂😂😂 that's it for my grade progression

[@CasaDelMandar]

I remember when the channel was small, wishing wide boyz got the attention they deserved. I'm glad that they've found success and are growing their KZbin presence. And I realize they are just following the success model of other channels, but I sure do miss the days where the video titles and thumbnails weren't such cringey clickbait. But at least they're not as bad about it as Magnus🤢

[@boogaloo4640]

I find it easier on my blood pressure just to ignore the titles & enjoy the videos, tbh. Sadly, that's how KZbin works. The titles aren't aimed at people like us. They're aimed at randoms out there who may be pulled in by a dramatic title & grabby thumbnail. Don't hate the player, hate the game

[@CasaDelMandar]

@@boogaloo4640 yeah you're 100% correct

[@StefanClimbs]

Very fun to watch! I need a basement like this.

[@princenabby1]

I *cannot* believe that Pete didn't give Adam a 10 for the grit!

[@SayWhatNow666]

[@alexm3892]

QUESTION!!!? How many guests have you had try the century box and how did they do?

[@perplexedon9834]

Lmao Pete's score just bouncing around from 3 to 8 with a million dings

[@dougthebuilder1]

On the bridge crack subject, don't forget there's the famous bridge arete in his home town. I think he is nostalgic about concrete.

[@brynncarlile05]

Love this interview style video, need more, podcast series?

[@chubblesnz]

Love this kinda video, you guys are a pair of legends. ❤

[@pkWreck]

Maybe to support the O-Grading system, there could be an A (for Adam) grading system, with the highest being A-9a (totally different to font), and then anything harder than that is O-0. Fills the gaps perfectly

[@sambeard4428]

Haven't even finished the commercial yet but i already know this is an absurd clickbait which must be the precursor to a great video

[@yandalf1819]

It's hard to forget a concept that strong!😂👌🤣 best line I ever heard

[@tommy8pickard40]

I have one small problem with the all important O grade though, when Hugo grows up and starts setting a new standard of climbing. Which Ondra will the O grade refer too 😬

[@rapple37]

As they said, once an O-grade is set, it can never be changed. And if Hugo flashes a climb, but Adam had done a session on it in the past without a successful completion, O-2, because all Ondra sessions count, regardless of which Ondra it was.

[@ArtZ00]

We'll get a new grading system, the H-grade 😂

[@DanielDobbelstein]

Ondra loves Bridges obv. Watch him showing magnus the ultimate bridge bouldern.

[@Olli999Olli999]

Just imagine Ondra Jamming back up the chimney afer droping down it dressed as Santa

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

If he does Century he .should Santa suit it.

[@durabelle]

Exactly! This makes me wonder if Tom has already utilised their chimney as part of his home training regime 🤔 Thinking of all the crazy crack techniques they were demonstrating from home during the lockdown..

[@ukulelerockk]

Supremely enjoyable content

[@Glenners]

I was hyped for this series too! "only 2 more days until Ondra arrives" lol

[@vincentcolavin]

It's nice to see Tom and Pete together. Lots of recent videos have been just one or the other (still great!), but I like seeing old friends hanging out and giving each other shit.

[@observing7312]

How about having Seb Bouin? He has been killing it recently!

[@usernamepinto]

The O grandes are amazing ! But if the problem is there is too much between 0 and 1 maybe the solution is to change from sessions to attempts. It also starts super high level but the O1 would be a flash, and a 2 session project could already be like a O20. Almost like changing the 0 to 10 scale to a 1 to 100.

[@asdfxyz_randomname2133]

Also make the O-grade both continuous and logarithmic (base 2). Then, if Adam competed a problem just barely in 1 attempt, that would be an O-grade of 0, and for easier problems, there would be negative O-grades, and the numbers wouldnt' get that high, so if Adam needed 32 attempts, that would be an O-grade of 5.

[@Efretpkk]

One of the highlights... Of... That.. Day 😂

[@ultraembedded]

O-grades below zero are the way to go for 8a or less, let me climb my 0-(minus 120) and I am using it 😂. The way to rate it is "how many of these can Ondra flash within a single session" - negative. Just throwing it out there. Thanks for the laughs and great content!

[@trading-university.]

Nice one. What about getting Jacob Schubert there next for a sesh!

[@phillipelapierre3821]

You guys are hilarious. When can we get the wide Boys podcast?

[@leabar8322]

I guess Shawn Raboutou has to come to the cellar :)

[@kormocziaron4362]

You guys have no idea how good you are. If Ondra is your 10, then you are between 9 and 10. You are not average. We are...

[@fr3d80000]

the perfectly cut laughs from the cameraman are premium content.

[@WaechterDerNacht]

That does really cry for bridge cracks from czechia...

[@JaneEarth]

ME! ME! 🥳I had the idea with the stove - having an egyptian big toe is a burden otherwise if you are sold for one pair of shoes you really want to use. I also made my rain boots fit more sock quantity on the toe top with that 😬 You have to think material, material can be shaped - every material at least that was shaped by mankind before.

[@Pf0scht4]

ondra needs to react to this^^

[@MGPL_]

He needs to come back and do the full route, common now

[@markofthemitch]

Awesome collaboration. But referencing his outdoor exploits on grit without video is a tease. Found it on Adams channel though, it beautiful British weather!

[@andyferguson6320]

Adam ondra is an amazing role model ❤

[@williambeldamlkke8054]

Everyone, we need to change every single climbing grade on the climbs Ondra has done, to the O-grade on April 1st (on the wiki, and other places if u have access)

[@sjmiller609]

that burning was making me nervous about it falling over and causing a fire

[@lisa-koschat]

Oh my god you two! 😂

[@SpartaSpartan117]

When's the O2 session coming???

[@PoochyMishaps]

I feel like everytime i heard "I struggle to give 10s", the heart was screaming for a 10 but the brain said "You can't accept the idea of perfection" 😂 Though IDK if 10/10 is perfect in things like this, more like so much better than you could've anticipated 🤷

[@Fella_friend]

Personally I grade my climbs on how long they take or if I can’t do it. It’s at(x) to rate based on how many attempts S(x) for how many sessions NA is if I couldn’t complete it, I’ll usually return to those in a month

[@stevenpringle]

Hey Pete, would you say you struggle to give 10’s? Not sure if you mentioned it or not 😂

[@johanalen]

One should never describe another man's visit as... "He's gonna come in my cellar" 😬😂

He probably was so interested in the bridge routes because of Exhumation! He already has bridge precedent. 8)

[@ghetto_penquin8324]

When you did your video with Stefano. The holds that Adam gave you were already attached. Stefanos video is from 5 months ago.

[@josebenjumedarubio5666]

i just wanna say that even though i'm not gonna see this yet bc i have an arrangement with a friend to watch these videos together, the clickbait is a masterpiece jajajajajajajajajaajajaj

[@楊子慕]

I think for O grades to be legitimate, the session takes for a new grade should be exponential. Basically 2^(Grade - 1) sessions. For example, O5 would take 2^4, which is 16 sessions. This way we can grade literally every climb but the grades would't go over the charts. Like, an O11 is 1024 sessions, that would take maybe 10 years considering climbing season, health, life, etc.

[@uwgait]

I struggle to give 10s... priceless!

I think the “O Grades” will mean something to everyone BUT Adam. It would be a bit narcissistic of him to agree to the concept, if you think about it.

[@Deddily]

If Adam does ever do Century Crack, he would be well prepared for a return to the cellar for a proper session.

[@mattmarcroft8931]

[@robinjowitt1234]

How big is the cellar? It looks huge! Is the house above it giant, or do you have access to all of the neighbours cellars? You should do a walk through video, unless you already have, in which case I apologise for my ignorance

[@lazaraza]

O-grades, eh? If you have a problem with the O-zero, then you can solve it by going negative, e.g. if the number of flashes per session is greater than 1 (O-zero) then you go negatives with the increment relation

[@glynwilliams13266231]

Great Video but I struggle to give 10s so going for a strong 9

[@alexb2298]
