    Can't watch or even just listen to Adam without an involuntary smile. Thank you Adam and Matt for the inspiration!

    I still don't understand how one can be the best climber in the world for like 15 years without stopping. Insane mental strength was needed no doubt 💪 and physical haha. Go Adam !

      Probably the same way Sharma did it before. I can only imagine it is some sort of secret ritual only they know.

      @Aaron-xq6hv haha it seems very likely at this point that they don't just visualise the route but the hand movements are some sort of climbing black magic 😄

    I do hope we see Adam in the occasional comps for awhile longer, but i also LOVE his outdoor progress and videos. The guys the real deal and humble too. Humbleness seems to be rarer and rarer (well maybe not in rock climbing, but other things for sure). Its good to see. 👍

    Well Adam… no offense but… I don’t want to see you competing anymore (I do… 😅)…. But mainly I want to see you developing rock climbing to unimaginable levels… as Chris Sharma did (and he’s still doing)
    I really think that you are the future of this sport, outdoors, nowadays
    Great interview

    Adam says that Hugo is 1 and 1 old. Hugo was born on May 2. Hence, this interview was in June. Not the most actual video. It's been half a year already.

      @CJski From the discussion on Project BIG it was clear that Jakob's FA had not yet taken place, putting this prior to September 20. Also I don't think it was aiming to be a comprehensive list, but I'd agree that Sorato at least was a significant oversight.

      @@matthewsinclair507 It's certainly the least like the type of climbing most climbers do and thus care about (myself included), but I think it may also have been a good selling point for climbing to be included in the Olympics to begin with, since it most closely resembles traditional Olympics events. I'm just glad it got its own medal this year, the triple combined format was so rough.

    IFSC based as usual. Its time to focus on the other great climbers that hold your business on their backs. Its very annoying to see how you guys cater to AO mostly because he has a strong youtube following. Its pretty weak IMO and is definitely dishonest to the climbing community. Guess this is what happens when you try to completely commercialize climbing. Yuck...

    Also, bouldering should be bouldering and not parkour nonsense.
