Hardest Route in Croatia - B je to! 9b | Commented Climb by Adam Ondra

- čas přidán 14. 05. 2024
- B je to! is a route that I bolted on summer vacation back in August in an impressive cave of Vranjača in Croatia. ✊ Back then, I had no time to finish it off, so I returned in late September for colder conditions. On the second day of the trip, I tried really hard and despite multiple moves where I was about to fall off. I did not fall and clip the chain of the first Croatia 9b. ✌

Man's absolutely allergic to clipping 😄
😂
When he skip a clip, my heart skip a heartbeat
My guess is he’s avoiding extra friction on the rope by not clipping when he knows he will have a safe fall. Wish I was that confident lol.
As he said before: “I like climbing, I don’t like clipping” 😆
@@ReachForInfinitenah I think when he climbs a really hard combination of moves, he doesn't want to clip on top of that 😅
B je to! 🤣
"A je to!" is a reference to an ancient.. chechoslovakian animation series, which is a proper nod on its own already - but upgrading this name to "B je to!" is next level, it happens to translate in slovenian/croatian directly into "this is B!", which is cool since, you know, the grade of the route itself.
TY!
@@leoingsonAncient??? Ok, I watched it when I was young, so it may be a bit old, but it's not like the moonlanding is ancient history. Moreover, all my kids enjoyed this series. I even went to a movie theater recently where they showed some episodes. In Holland though, they did add an extra layer by having a voice over added that is really good and adds an extra layer that is fun.
Ok, and I guess I must accept that I am just very old...

Second crux looked absolutely horrendous, amazing send! I hope Adam doesn't lose the hunger he clearly still has. If Chris Sharma can send 9b+ at 42, there's no reason why Adam can't continue pushing for insanely hard routes into his 40s also, meaning we have at least another decade if he stays healthy.
I'm from Croatia, but I never climbed at home because I could not afford it - only when I moved to Canada 10 years ago, my journey on the rock started, and I was already 30. Now I can't image my life without it :) I climbed for the first time in Paklenica, and in Croatia in general, last year and it is amazing. Thanks Adam for contributing and promoting Croatian climbing scene, your legacy is cemented in our sport. Such a role model for many. Best regards
Another great video, this route looks insanely hard good to see you’re still pushing the limits after so many years at the top 🤙
Man, the runouts are wild
The main thing is not to reach the ground, the rest is not important 😅
You should see Czech Republic, eg Moravian Karst there are way more dangerous runouts... Adam just bolting in czech style :D
@@martincapek6640 He is only skipping quickdraws, the runouts dont look that wild if he would clip everything
@ yeah, that's what I meant. If he would clip everything, the distance between bolts would be reasonable, but when he skips two quickdraws in a row my hands start to sweat!
It's awesome that the best climber in the world also has some of the best production quality and video content on youtube!
Commented Climb videos are my favourite. Thank you Adam.
It's funny, today I watched Adam's old videos and thought: it's been a long time since he climbed route 9b. And here it is 😊
Díky za nové video. Je vidět, že tvůj postoj k lezení se s časem pěkně vyvíjí, děláš čím dál víc pro komunitu a investuješ do toho neskutečně moc snahy. Všichni v Čr jsme za to neskutečně rádi, kéž by stejný přístup měli i další sportovci.
Budeme ti dál držet palce. At máš dost energie na lezení a na fanoušky ;)
12:40 is such an awesome and wholesome moment. The climbing itself is amazing, but I love the fact that they put in the work to tell the story behind the climbs and areas and explain its significance and impact on the areas that Ondra visits.
So incredibly humble and a great mindset which stems from a simple love for climbing - you're an inspiration
Adam, you are a spectacular ambassador for your sport.
Everytime I'm nervous I'm out of climbing videos, Ondra comes with more heat 😌
Igor just seems like a total legend
Vranjača is truly stunning!
Another amazing video and climbing. I'd love to see you climbing in Jura, Poland. The hardest route here is VI.8+ which translates to 9a+ in french. Almost half of the Poland's hardest routes are in one place - limestone cave called Mammoth Cave. It would be a great pleasure to watch a video of you climbing in this region 😅
The skipping of draws is driving me crazy 😂
That first knee bar split your knee open, that’s wild! 6:48, it just keep bleeding more and more
You’re a monster bro!
Great video
really good synchronisation dialogue with t climbing… ace
Vranjača may be a reason for Croatian climbing to grow, but to my thoughts a bigger reason for the increase in popularity of climbing in Croatia would be Adam Ondra!! Great video as always and an amazing ascent. Loved it.
I have been to Vranjaca this summer and have to say, its just crazy good! And guys, don`t be afraid to go there.. some of the best routes i climbed in Croatia between 7a and 7c there as well! You don´t have to climb super hard stuff just because it`s a cave. And the cave is worth it a visit just by itself! :)
What is the grade of the easiest routes there?
@@leoingson puh I don't know exactly, but I think around 6a
@@leoingson 1 x 5c and 1x 6a+
Your videos really make me want to climb again
Another great video! Thanks for showing everyone these climbing gems most people havent heard of!
Good job 👏💪
Always amazing video and stories 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video and an even more beautiful crag! Thanks for the inside. Looking for the next one!
Skvělé! Díky!
Krásné video!
Adam Ondra, you always inspire me to push myself to climb harder. Thanks for your videos.
Very good quality content and great climbing ! Amazing route and place
It was a beautiful and inspiring mini documentary of the journey. Congratulations
Thank you Adam!
Another beautiful video, I love how humble you climbers are. Think one of the most respectful sports there is. Greetings from the Netherlands👋
Love the uncut footage with commentary!
Adam literally puts his blood and sweat into this route. Never ceases to impress, too!
Such a great climb Adam, congratulations!!! As I Saw you are now in Spain, It would be awesome a video climbing with Ramonet, one of the BEST and strongest 🤟🤟
cool route, nice job dude
well filmed. looking good in this one.
Climbing area be like "Yo, we have this giant cave." Adam: "Say no more".
Got to love adam and his hard routes.
funny how adam is like "this is where i did many of my first lower grades, like 6a, 6b, 7c"
Cool!
Awesome! Looks super hard
Neck looking as majestic as ever Mr. Ondra.
What a beautiful cave.
Other people on vacation in Croatia: weather was good, sea was nice, we really enjoyed it...
Adam on vacation in Croatia: ...anyway, I started bolting.
If Adam starts bolting there's gonna be many more hard routes to climb, 9a to 9c and maybe more... Can't wait!
really nice video
super video hlavně nechápu jak můžeš lézt ty trasy
People gonna skip that upper crux and go straight into the rest out left. Super radical run outs and power climbing man!
That run-out was insane
skips like a 100 quickdraws until the next clip, what a legend.
와우~~ 멋지네요~~
respect
A je to? Sick Buurman en Buurman reference
nice run out
Awesome video and if you want to develop something maybe in japan I would be happy to have you and take you around. I Own a small rock climbing gym in Iwanai (Japanese meaning surrounded by rock) and are planning on developing a lot around my area. but you should also talk to Yuji Hirayama he also an area he is developing and Chris Sharma was at the crack etc. You should totally get together and creat something epic. All the best to you and family and keep up the good work
Vaya triceratops estás hecho ondra!
Unreal
speeed
Hey Adam congrats! By the way, as a child I adored the cartoon "A je to" 😄 But if the road takes you to Istria... there are several interesting routes in Dvigrad, the most famous of which is "Malvazija" by Manolo. I believe you would find it interesting
I missed to hear you screaming in pain! :))
Nice Adam love these vids! whats the hardest 9b you have sent? the closest one to 9b+ but not quite there
Your videos are beautiful.
‘Varanjaca doesn’t have a lot of kneebars’ -does 3 kneebars on the route
adam on his way to free solo
"i wasn't really that nervous" meanwhile the rope under him that hasn't been clipped for 6 meters.
Not that Ondra cares a whit what I think, but would love to see him go to Joshua Tree and work New Deal and G String. Those old Coz testpieces deserve the exposure.
Why did the setters not use brightly coloured holds? I can barely see them.
Nothing should distract your attention from Adam’s muscles!
Diky za video. Kde se jeskynie nachazi? u Splitu jsem nasla turistyckou jeskyni, je to ona?
🍀🍀
Ondra with zero confidence in a kneebar? I didn't know that was possible
Supranatural neck length
Croatian Flatanger
Show more clips of you failing and working the climb.
Lol. The route is bolted with little sense. From rest 1 you can skip crux 2 and go directly on the left to rest 2 just passing 1m below the crux 2 moves.
Wanted to do 9b at all costs probably...
When you was there and try it? We do not see you !?
Whats the O Grade?
Is my nose clogged, nvm it's in the vid :D
I’m sad that you stopped making content regularly.
Hey, we still regularly release climbing videos on the main AO CZcams channel. We have even created a membership section where you can enjoy more videos twice a month. We will publish the following video from the rocks on Monday. Until then, you can check out the new membership. You will have a climbing fun! AO Team

Mr. Ondra, the next time you're in Croatia please breed with my mother and sister, we need better genes, for a stronger Croatia 💪
Adam you are a legend that leaves a legendary path behind your back and some will follow 💪🏼 you are a inspiration to many and someone to look up to in many ways...congrats on doing B je to! 👌 all the best from Makarska,Croatia 💪🏼❤
Velebit has a lot to offer so it's super nice of you to put our tiny mountain on a map...:) 🧗♂
