  • Let's make a bet for a new camper van! I onsighted this route back in 2012, so I am confident I can downclimb it as well.
    Flatanger cave is full of absolutely classic routes. Unfortunately, I have already done them all. While working on Project Big, it is kind of annoying not having any other easier route to climb (except for Nordic Marathon and super hard projects) and repeating the routes I have already done is not the same feeling. But what about being a bit more open-minded and climbing the classic route backward? Like, I mean, from the top to the bottom. What about the classic 8c+ called Odin's Eye? Your climbing partner doesn't believe and makes a bet?

      ​@@maximedelmas imo at those levels, the differences between the climbers are so small, that has no sense in arguing who's actually the best. He's considered the best mainly because he has a huge media coverage. Does that mean that he isn't? Maybe not. It does just mean that the majority of people don't even know the other strong climbers

      Sport climbing is more akin to 100m races, and I don't understand how people can be unimpressed by it. A tight race keeps me on the edge of my seat, and climbing that wall in under 5 seconds is an amazing feat. Honestly, I find competition sport climbing more boring than speed, as much as I love to watch Adam and others outdoor

Nobody wanted to watch speed climbing, yet they forced us to endure it by making real climbers do it in order to get to the Olympics. If it had not been forced on us I would not dislike it, but on the other hand I wouldn't even know it existed.

    • @AdamOndra
      @AdamOndra  Год назад +5

      Just as any other climbing, once the ground is close, you always have to pay extra attention and it is usually the most dangerous part of any route. The dynamic rope has a lot of stretches, but on the other hand, it doesn't definitely stretch more than a few meters. And if a few meters of stretch would result in touching the ground, it would not be ground fall, but just a very controlled and slow touch of the ground. It is more because the route is so steep and the ground goes slightly upwards, you have to pay extra attention on the swing and clip enough bolts as you downclimb.
