Potentially World's Hardest Trad Route - Bon Voyage E12 (9a) | Adam Ondra
Trad climbing is a kind of climbing I always hesitated to immerse myself in. ✊ Influenced by the film Hard Grit, the idea of a bold and dangerous route where you can seriously hurt yourself was not very tempting to me, even though I climbed many bold routes on Czech sandstone. When I first heard of @OnceUponAClimb - James Pearson's Bon Voyage route, I knew I had to go there immediately. It simply looked too good. Relatively safe, but runout climbing with seriously difficult boulder problems on immaculate sandstone in the idyllic countryside of southern France.
As icing on the cake- potentially the world's hardest trad route (in terms of physical difficulties) - I found it too tempting. James Pearson himself came along the way, showed me the moves and I admitted that the route was hard. I had to dig deep, take some rest and execute. Still, it was not enough to do it straight away. I had to take some big falls from the end of the crux sequence, eventually even testing the worst possible fall before I could link all the moves of this brutal masterpiece.
Enjoy this masterpiece and do not forget to watch the bonus video ➡️ czcams.com/video/dQfW-hnmaf0/video.html - commented ascent of this amazing route with my commentary for all CLIMBING FANATICS and LOVERS in my membership section right now.

    When I started climbing we only had a spray wall. Me and a few of my buddies started making our own routes, and I truly think making your own routes on a spray wall is an extremely good way to understand climbing better.

    you guys can make money off of this if you can make a home training system. You need to invent like the kung fu training dummy that jacky chan uses in movies, but for rock climbing That wall is too big though. you need to be able to break it down to something bigger than a finger board that has training patterns that are common movements. LIke on a finger board I'll switch while hanging from jugs to pockets to make it into an exercise and do different pull-ups. You need to make rock climbing aerobics with like a twister board that anyone can put in their house. And then come up with switching patterns but while staying in one spot or moving back and forth in one spot. P90x was just a pull-up bar. I'm playing snoopy cliffhanger trying to imagine i'm climbing with just a hang board.
