On October 4th 2012, Adam Ondra climbed the new hardest route in the world in magic unknown Flatanger region in Norway. For us, organizing, filming and sharing the whole process with Adam, it was a very very happy day... Here is a small video memory, summarizing a bit this incredible achievement by this 19 year old climbing genius. Old good times in old good, not yet discovered Flatanger, yeah... :-) - Sport
Yep, touching the holes, which have never been touched by anyone else before is always great, Adam.
Hey, it's the holds ;)
The holes won't be touch by many by the way :)
He stole that quote from Jimmy Saville
Virgin buttholes
Michal Nádhera I see what you did here ...
"The key is not to get stuck in one situation, on one route, for too long" - Adam Ondra. The same guy that spent like 3 years on "Silence" in the same cave; most of which were spent on completing one boulder problem, that first foot hold crux. LOL. Godspeed Adam!
his willpower is insane
You do not know anything about it. Do you know, what you see? The hardest rout in history! It is not golf, chasmat. It is a realy hard, horrible task for body and mind.
He literally only said his will power was impressive, I don't know why you got so mad
Jiří Malík M8 calm down XD
@@jirimalik7125 You are an idiot.
@@jirimalik7125 wtf man!
I thought this route was called NNAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH GAAAHHHHH AHHHHHH!!!!!
good job on the funny.
Mr Frodo! No!!!
Wonder if he can even climb quietly haha
Look it up. I think it is
no its difficult level nniaaaahhhh!!!
They actually overlaid the footage with audio taken recorded in a Taco Bell restroom
Maxton Congrove imagine walking in and seeing someone climbing a route on the ceiling
That’s pretty funny
:DDDDDDDDDDD
This cracked me up
Lmfao
This is by far the best climbing video for me! No unnecessary fast cuts, just smooth footage. The place looks just magical, I hope I will be able to go there one day. And the music from Emancipator is just from another world! And the level Adam Ondra is climbing on is just insane! Also I don't mind the screaming at all, it just shows how much effort and passion he puts into his climbing.
No wonder this guy said the World Championship route was easy for him…
John Dunbar - this is the best comment on youtube
That was a ride from start to finish.
woosh
the fact you don't see the sarcasm in this worries me.
@John Dunbar i dont get it
The long version is one of my favorite climbing films. Just simple climbing experience, great pictures and about a sympathetic and passionated and intelligent guy, fighting for his goal.
And all great edited!
Thanks for that.
And btw I can't hear the comments about his screaming and moaning any more. If you're climbing at your absolute limit nearly everybody does that. It helps! And you can't control this any more. In Adams case it's just more extreme.
I agree. One cannot do such feats without optimal breath control. It's just petty people continuously point out sounds integral to his perfect breathing technique. Let's say that only people who can accomplish what he has done could even in theory have some level of rights to criticize him in this matter. It requires only 1550+ 8a or more ascents, dozens of insane difficulty onsights, 9a or more first ascents, repeated pushing of boundaries to new levels etc. etc.
It can be conjectured that nobody can ascent 9b+ without screaming, and that is generous assumption. Those who do not scream cannot ever accomplish such feats, so better for them to keep shut up altogether.
There is also mute button for whiners, so they don't have to comment about sounds of God.
Christoph Awe He’s actually one of the very few climbers that does that
@@lukeaurand5722 maybe that why he is the best climber in the world?
Besides that a lot of the best climbers do use "power screams" in some form or another. Just not as dramatically as him.
@@MiNi-nn7zi I think Stephano Ghisolfi did it without screaming, but his breathing was still out of this world
Oml, I love emancipator. Amazing music
totaly agree
thanks i did know the track but didn´t remember the name
@@kilianbader9786 anthem
You are a giant, man! You erase limits of human capabilities! With full respect from Belgium
just like my dark souls experience
Cem as a long time climber and a dark souls player I definitely think there are similarities. The constant repetition till you know every part of something, the mental pushes, definitely think they go together :)
Caesura except one of them entails much less screaming
EDIT: Wasn't clear enough, I was talking about the climbing
This comment is GOLD and it s true
Me after 100 tries against Dark Eater Midir: 3:30
I watch daily. Love this motivation.
you're such a monster man. Iron fingers!!!Congrats!!!
hands down my favorite climber to watch
he's like weightless.. like a spider or st
good for you!!! its perfect crazy moments... reality best of the best Adam!

What a beast Adam is....
Emancipator! What a nice video to start day and go clima!
best motivational video, not just for climbers
Unbelievable climbing and epic determination in what looks like the eye of the ultimate Eagle in Carlos Casteneda’s books as the camera pans away. That indeed is the ultimate experience in every realm of existence.
Shush
Pretty sure that eagle wants to eat you for your awareness
I bought the movie when it was released, very nice indeed!
This was an amazing climb in 2012, what is even more amazing is the fact that after 7 years it has still not had a repeat, not even an exploratory effort afaik?
So, maybe this 9b+ is actually harder than the 3 or 4 other routes with the same grade? Maybe Seb Bouin who did the first repeat of Move 9b/+ could give an opinion?
PS. Back in 1981/82 I put up the first new routes (in more than a decade) in Fosen which lies just south of Flatanger, we had no idea such a cave was hiding in a community with a name that literally means "Flat fields"! :-)
Perhaps the crux looks so disgustingly heinous that nobody wants to try it 😂
Stefano Ghisolfi is trying to do it right now
Stefano did it with different beta
Ye, I thought Stefano would degrade it. His knee-bar beta looked so much easier.
@@svettc0dgamerfan even with his kneebar beta stefano still call it 9b+ and it even fit with stefano style so well
Every single hard move, he needs to go Super Saiyan. That just shows how hard this route is
Adam, if I saw you as child on the artificial wall in Police nad Metují, I thought, that yours future will be great. And it is. Thank you of your desire for perfection. It is instructive example for anyone. You are superhero now. Amazing, horible hard, no words. You moves the borders of human limits to infinity. Physically and mentally too.The result of tremendous hard work and internal discipline. I climbed well too, but if I would not seen with my own eyes, what you're capable of, I would not believe it. You are Shaolin master, Bruce Lee of Rocks. Excelent music, excelent shooting. I am very happy, that I am still alive and can see your Change. I hug you.
Rofl hes climbing up a rock dude, eat a chilldog.
That guy actually knows him,chilldog yourself
beautiful movie, great route!
Adam Ondra.... Screaming his way to success since the day he was born
understanding the swear words makes it even more enjoyable
such a sick video love your stuff ❤️
His girlfriend tho.. No one talks about her, locked in the shadow of that great man but must be essential to his success for sure
Elie Le Bas she looks so unsupportive
Who is she?
@@opiehelstrom4702 Iva Vejmolová - She is also a climber :-)
That is completely mental, my body hurts just watching this vid!
lol i searched for this video a month ago! nice to see it again! :)
sounds like so much fun
Dude, it is really cool...
A piece of respect from faraway Russia...
you're amazing ondra. always love your music choice too.
Very interesting watching Stefano Ghisolfi try out new beta for the 1st crux. Makes it seem a bit less horrendous
So incredible!
Adam is still pushing the limits!
He makes it look so easy!
what a climber the best ive seen
Totally amazing!
What an amazing life
he holds almost flat holdings... awesome!!
Adam jesteś niesamowity !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Adam .
Could see the last 20 meters ( or more ) in the Video - before you finished the Route ???
DD
Who is here after the first repetition by stefano ghisolfi?
Didn't realise he done it! Next on my playlist!
Me. But I realised I had seen this video already. I prefer Stefano Ghisolfi climbing style way better than Ondra`s.
@@dsenunez stefano used kneepad oc the styles are different
Emancipator. Such a good band.
Beautiful and inspiring video. What's the music?
Incredible !!!
Tremendo escalador felicidades
Much respect to the people who can do this. It must take some insane stamina to be able to stay on a rock for that long without muscle failure. I deathly afraid of heights and I can't stop watching these videos. Makes me wanna quit being a panzy and try some real shit for once
Riley Mcfee right... addiction
6:08 - "Yolo, yolo" " BITCH SHUDDUP, AHHHHHHH"
lmao
I understand "I'll beat ya'"?
And maybe at 7:29 "I won"?
@@chemnoire "to je vono" meaning "that's it"
Thanks for the laugh haha
bought the film when it came out. Well worth the (if i remember correctly) $20!
What a legend
Incredible line! Ondra is a superhuman and one of the best climbers arround the world. I have a question: what's the name of the song?
shazam it
3 months! Wow, that is serious dedication. Is there any other sport quite like it?
try chess at a high level.
Gymnastics/(ultra) marathon
Neither of these answers is correct. Running is largely athletic and getting better at it is a matter of improving fitness and mindset. Technique of course matters but in comparison to climbing it plays a tiny role in overall performance. Chess is by definition a game you play against others, while in pushing the limits of climbing the only person who is relevant is yourself (you can't replay a chess game over and over again over months while you can project a route for months or years, as Adam does in this video).
Bravo to him, this one looked especially hard, physically enormously painful and long.
Jesteś wielki...
Adam finds a way power through silence very well
*Move a leg* NYAHHHHH
*Move a hand* ARGHGHHH
*Blink* BYAAHEEEE
Incredible
sounds like one of those "natural birth" videos
Nice cooment :D:D
Legend.
so cool!
Hes amazing
what a humble guy
So does Change have an extension like Biography? It looks like it's finished halfway.
his screams literally broke my headphones..
AHHHHHHHHHHDAM OHHHHHHHHHNDRA best climber in the world hands down.
Anyone know where to find the footage of Sharma climbing it?
Beautiful video. And Urko has higher the Best. And Hím helpng stump. M❤
very nice
Thinks makes Bruce Wayne Climbing Out Of The Pit a kindergarden exercise.Adam Ondra you re a beast.....
very good
awesome
ITS OVER 9000!
that was in 2012?!
This is real strength
And after Change, there came Silence...
Watching this at 3:30 am, my family probably think I'm dieing
This dude's forearms are fucking outrageous, amazing climb.
5 years later, my response is that every single one of his muscles is outrageous. His calves are working as hard as his forearms. Abs, back. Even his neck to keep his head held up while completely sideways..
Beast!!!
Serious question: how subjective is the grading of routes? How collaborative is it? Just curious anybody serious that knows. Internet scholars as well.
Austin Stones thank you l!
I have no idea how hard that is but respects to this guy. Can get an idea of how hard it is when a pro is under that much pain ans giving it his all. Crazy stuff. And then you see kids these days glued to their phones and video games....what a waste. Pushing mind and body to limit is when you feel most alive no wonder all these kids are "depressed" these days.
Class❤️❤️❤️🤗
7:09-7:30 - that whole sequence is absolutely insane. The angle at which is arm is contorting looks like pure agony.
Hey completed the climb on my birthday
Some say that the cries of the mountain monsters in Norwegian scary tales sound remarkably similar to Adam Ondra ...
Do they put in the hooks in the rock themselves?
Then years later smashed the first 9c.. what a freak
sorry for the dumb question but is this the same cave from Silence? is all part of the same thing?
Yeah its the same cave
Can someone explain who put the bolts there if he is doing the first ascent?
He put them in
Did you even watch the video bud xD
Norway
Adam driving a car just looks so odd to me lol
I feel sorry for his girlfriend. That must be boring as fuck standing there for all that time doing nothing.
lol there is lots of other routes in the flatanger cave, i am sure she has her own projects that adam belayed her on.
he did 2 tries a day.. prolly you cant commit more tries than that per days cause its so excausting. i think adam belayed her more than she belayed him on a daily basis
Do you think the video covers 12 hours of their day?!
90sideways
Yeah but to make up for it he has massive balls !
Screams intensify
His current level : Monster class !!!
Is this the same cave where he later did the 9c? (Silence)
Yes, different route in the same cave
Adam sended Change in 2012... So we are now in 2020 and the route stills whitout a second ascent.
The second ascent was around this summer afaik
That sound so painful Jesus Christ.
It's shouting over every part of your body and mind that is not sure.
No. That is a fight sreaming, same as a weight-lifting.
Yeah, I used to do quite a lot of climbing but it was pretty casual and definitely never scream-inducing.
if your just dead quite on a route I don't think that's the hardest route you can do, not to mention this route is a very long lead route with moves that are nearly impossible, so it's pretty understandable actually.
oh shut up - it's the hardest route in the world for a reason - each of the holds are literally physically painful. If you've never climbed a route with a crimp so sharp that you screamed then you aren't pushing yourself. He also doesn't have to show off, he's already the best in the world.
How did they bolt this?
what is the fastest way to improve my finger strength? Just boulder a shit ton? Or is their workouts I can do?
Kapsproductions hang boards.
Kapsproductions hang boarding followed by campus boarding.
For FINGER strength, squeeze a ball or a rubber ring, or there are special gizmos you can buy with springs. For ARM strength, use hang/campus boards as stated below.
What for Adam - I always ask ????
