Awesome. Great video and scenery, dialogue, travel advert, and environmental activism all in one. All without taking away from the actual climbing (the dynamic hand match was inspiring). I feel a tiny bit smarter after watching.
This approach to waste reduction is incredible. Far better than the landfills of the US with our massive output of waste product. I love that this beautiful architecture and functionality can be multi-purposed into climbing and snow-slope use even exists in this day and age.
Waste reduction AND energy production - electricity + heating and hot water for homes and other buildings. No air pollution! Climbing wall is just for a tiny, tiny fraction of 1% of humans. Why invite them to use any means of transportand whatnot to try it?
Great video! Glad they finally let a pro climber use the wall - they refused to let Alex Honnold climb there without taking the paid course and test. Amazing facility, but it’s not currently being operated in a way that’s good for local climbing community.
as far as i know you are only obligated to be observed creating anchors and everything else you need to climb it before hand by and employee. If you fail that check however, then you need to go through a course.
You have to go and get a multipitch exam and certificate from the danish climbing association or Blocs & Walls in Copenhagen. If you’re a newer climber you can get a course to learn how to do multipitch, but if you’re experienced you only need to pass the exam part. You can learn more on the Blocs & Walls website 🦾
I didn't know it was possible to capture the carbon from incinerating rubbish and then turn it into concrete, while also generating power! Very nice view of copenhagen from that scary climb haha
Fantastic video on a super great wall in copenhagen! The only thing to know tho, is that this wall is not allowed to anyone, also if you have experience.

The architecture and climbing colab I didn't know I needed! I couldn't make it to Copenhill last year due to it not being well connected to public transportation, I'll have to make it happen next time!
sadly carbon capture is nowhere good enough to be a long term solution, we need better long term solutions and it's usually pointed out as green washing (we need to produce less CO2 in the first place, and be more frugal energetically anyway), but that building is still hella cool
@@SwainixFPVThis incinerator burns landfill garbage. They don't burn oil or coal. So instead of putting the garbage in landfills, it is burned and the air is cleaned. It's the most efficient incinerator plant in the world. And it burns so much garbage, that they sometimes have to import the garbage.
notice at 14:38 when he switched his hand, he for one second was just on his feet at this height and not dat good a crimp, seems worth risking falling off 2 times he did it anyway ... ^^
Very cool! Love this sustainable tech solution to waste. And that 8c finish pitch looks super hard and low percentage! I’d be curious if anyone can repeat it.
it's very interesting to see the many uses of the space all at once; at the same time, it is vital to be aware of the moral hazard of "carbon storage" - tempting people away from the already well-defined and fundamentally necessary solution of ending the use of fossil
To my mind we will need all the available options to tacle climate change. This may not be the most impactful part in the equation, but at least they are making two quite necessary procesesses less negative for the atmosphere.
True, and the video did emphasise the carbon capture aspects but the reality is a little different. This building was built to replace an older incineration plant that burned the tiny fraction of municipal waste that couldn't be recycled. Most of this incinerated waste is biomass and thus renewable, and nearly all energy is captured in the form of electricity and municipal district heating. Filters to capture sulphurs, oxygen nitrates and other nasties were added, and the carbon capture is just the last extra-fine polish on this nearly 100% clean recycling and effective recycling project, in fact the cleanest in the world. It's a pity that carbon capture, a tiny part of the bigger story here, takes up so much narrative space but it is a cool aspect too. Now to address the last 1% of the waste that can't get recycled... heavy metals etc. Maybe they've addressed that already: my memory of all this is about 4-5 years old, and Danes innovate fast.
I'm not against carbon removal, but I think it's really bad that it's being pushed that much recently. Big companies just want this technology to work so they can continue to pollute as much as they do today. Or even worse. We should seek to emit less carbon first, not try to burry it
Carbon removal is just 1 element of a much larger strategy to get Earth to net zero as soon as possible. Bill Gates wrote a book a good few years back called: How to avoid a climate disaster. I only listened to it recently and I would imagine that a lot of the world's governments have also read it because a lot of what he talks about in the book is already being implemented.
They burn waste at this facility. Instead of making landfills, they burn the garbage. Garbage is inevitable. They can burn so much garbage, that they also import garbage from other countries. The reason for the size of the building, is to clean the smoke from the incineration, so that as few particles as possible, enters the atmosphere. It's the cleanest incineration plant in the world, or at least it was, when the building was finished a few years ago. To capture the CO2 and burry it, is just another step in this process. So, your concerns are uncalled for. I could understand, if they were burning coal or oil, but they don't.
We call that "noeud de chaise" in french, takes less space and is easier to undo. It use to be the most done knot back in the days but it is less secure than "noeud de huit" (in french sorry😅) . Lot of climbers still use it because of the twos benefits i mentionned (when you have a lot of falls "noeud de huit" can be hard to undo)
@@TheAntomo thanks, dude! Was a great idea to look it up in french, so I found the explanation (although my french is not the best) on Wikipedia: S'il est, pour cet usage, moins facile à dénouer en cas de forte chute que le nœud de chaise (complété pour la sécurité par un demi nœud de pêcheur, simple ou double) -> so Adam finished the bowline off with the fishermans and it seems kind of usual. :)
Hey Adam, love all your videos. Big fan of yours. Could I ask you which is the knot you are using in the video? Have never seen it before. Thanks in advance
@@idoiamartin5969 As aspzx said, it's easy to untie, which also means it can easily undo itself. And it's not as easy as figure-8 to check visually. So just be aware of these points
Not the best advertisement for professional route setting, setting from one rope and in a climbing harness :( Good that it is such a small part. The rest is really cool. Would really like to set on this thing.
@@MSchon-qf3fl of course. The funny part is you could totally make holds with friction without the use of any plastic. But of course it’s too expensive. But companies like Mammut prefer to green wash their bad carbon footprint
How is it carbon removal? They capture carbon from stuff they burn, they don't "remove" carbon from atmosphere. There are factories that capture carbon, but they are not powerful enough to capture all the carbon emitted now. Also tbh Ondra does not seem like the best person to talk about this as is sponsored by Volkswagen...
If that "stuff they burn" is biogenic, it can be carbon negative. Their HP says the following: "A lot of the residual waste at Amager Bakke comes from biogenic sources. But there is still fossil residual waste ending up at Amager Bakke (and any other waste-to-energy plant). "
You basically use the plants or trees as carbon collectors. The direct air capture systems I think you are referring to are very energy hungry because they have to filter a huge amount of air to get any decent amount of co2. By getting the plants to do the initial co2 capture for you you end up with a much more efficient process. Still energy intensive but way less than the direct air systems.
@@lro295 I never saw any reports saying about trees being a good way to compensate greenhouse emissions. To my small knowledge the main carbon capture systems spoken in IPCC are used on top of factories. capturing from the air does not seem as promising. But my point is more that if Adam Ondra is worried about climate change, he should stop traveling around the globe every other week.
@@oekoperDK Sure it's better to capture carbon when you burn stuff, biogenic or fossil, it's just it feels awkward (hypocritical) for a professional climber to advertise this and then taking the plane, make ads for fuel powered vehicles...
