These commented climbs (and your superb on-sights) are exceptional and unique content, so special for us fans. Thank you for making them! Thanks too for setting the high water mark for on-sight climbing, as an art form you’re the master of this and it inspires me. I’m excited to try my on-sights at my own grade, which is only 11d but they same rules apply and for me, similar limits! Thank you Adam.
On the first, with narration enhanced by sounds of the climb, it was hilarious that i jumped up, thinking someone outside was groaning and calling. Nope. It was just Adam in stereo.
Adam, I like the content a lot. Can you do an episode on “in the mindset and life” of your belayers. Because you’re running some things out and to me it looks like miles. I’d enjoy hearing their feedback on how they always keep you safe so you can focus on being your best! Thanks! 🤙
I only see him running out the last bolts, when he tops out over a roof. So I don't think there is any chance of decking or slamming into the wall, it's only a big fall.
They don't. His belayer clutched the whole grigri while giving rope. Therefore if Adam fell in a bad moment the rope would slip straight through the grigri without engaging it. If you pay attention you can see in almost everey video from Adam Ondra bad belaying habits from him and from many of his belayers.
His belayer in this video was not clutching the grigri the whole time. He was simply supporting the bottom, holding it up. This makes belaying much for comfortable and easier to feed slack quickly since all he'd have to do is simply press his thumb down to prevent the grigri from camming
@@thebazm606 To me it looks like the belayer is supporting the grigri with his index finger and using only his thumb to keep the pivot down. This is exactly how it is thought in the booklet that comes with the grigri.
Awesome! Really cool to have the commentary and be able to hear your thought process. I love how you respect and showcase the history of climbing. It feels like you are always pushing and exploring while celebrating what has gone before.
Super Congrats to SUPER MASTER ONDRA!!!!!!!!!! The LEGEND all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHAPEAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best Wishes. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
1:43 “so I was checking out the guidebook thinking what could be a good candidate to try to go for an onsight and I found an 8c” he says nonchalantly like 8c is a v2 jug ladder when it is harder than what most people in the world will ever climb
Domo arigato for sharing your amazing uplifting and inspiring energy, your experiences, your thoughts with us all. I feel tremendously blessed by it. And domo arigato as well to your wife and son for making this possible ❤"with love you can overcome anything" right ;-)
Adame, jsi borec, tvoje videa mě moc baví 👋 Ten tvůj neutuchající zápal je moc fajn a motivuje i mě, o generaci staršího, svátečního "šestkového" lezce na druhém 😂
5:40 "is quite a miracle that the pockets are just enough to make it climbable...but it is like the old Buoux..." is this an insinuation that the route might be manufactured? Not sure, just asking
Some routes in Buoux are famously manufactured (La rose et le vampire and others) but the vast majority of routes aren't and are also in this "if this pocket wasn't there the whole route would be either impossible or way harder" style.
Hi Adam and his team, and thank you for this amazing video! I have a question: are these olds sends? Because it looks like it was pretty cold/chill there, and in this time the south a France is quite hot.
Was wondering, if your on-sighting the routes, how do you place the quickdraws on the wall? Or do you use the ones that are already here/been left there?
hey! i really like those commentary style videos, i think they give a great insight on how Adam approaches a route and thinks about it!
Adds so much, love it.
yeah, the commentary adds a lot since it's hard for us mortals to tell what's really going on when a good climber makes everything look easy.
@@pengc6538 yes i agree but also some insight into the mentality and the gameplan
Yep best format
I really want to see Adam try le Bombé Bleu, it's such a mythical route !
Was also going to ask that if he is going to try it, hope so!
Hell yeah, and sir Alex Megos too for his frankenjura background 🫵
Probably too hard for Adam..?
It is always nice when the AO team posts a video!
Instant boner! 💪🏻☝🏻

intermixing history with narrated onsight climbing, such high quality content!

What an absolute machine
Got VIP for Prague see you there Adam ! 💪
Great! See you on the spot.
Voice over makes it way more interesting. Really cool.
dang that runout at the end there had me sweating!
It's fine if your belayer gives you proper slack.
Yeah right, me too !!

great climb Adam,so inspiring as always
Cool video! France and this particular crag are dreams! Also cool onsights! :D
Adam's english got so good! He's got a nice voice and I really enjoy him narrating the routes
Love the commentary style, it shows the climbing in very high detail while explaining how the route felt. Really well done
Yes come back to the south of france so much to do here!
Best climbing content on the internet by a long shot
Super Congrats to SUPER MASTER ONDRA!!!!!!!!!!
The LEGEND all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHAPEAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like 99.9% of people wont climb that LMAO.
You should try le bombè bleu!
As always : humble, simple and inspiring !
Best ad Ive seen in my live. Also one of the most fun climbing videos I’ve seen in a long long time :)

Route at Buoux sandbagged grade shocker ! :-)
Adam, we are ready for you to make tries on Le Bombé Bleu 🙌🏼
grade A insight and so well presented. like climbing the inside of Adams mind on the fly...quality content
bro pulled up and on sited those 2 routes, why are there not more comments on how insane adam is oh my ... amazing regardless
Sei il migliore!!!🙅🏼♂️😊
Adame, jsi borec, tvoje videa mě moc baví 👋 Ten tvůj neutuchající zápal je moc fajn a motivuje i mě, o generaci staršího, svátečního "šestkového" lezce na druhém 😂
Great video thanks Adam
your amazing that looks insane hard xD i`m happy i did my first 6 😀 outside
Any trips planned for the verdon gorge?
You weren't the only one who struggled with the style of climbing at Buoux ;-)
LOL 5:07 his idea of an ok rest and mine are vastly different
Wow he really ran out the end of that 2nd route!
There is a mistake in description ( being 12 in 2025). Best climber and timetraveler aswell ! Anyway great video, thank you for it.
''Bonbé bleu'' one day maybe ?

Hey Adam! I am happy to read that you still feel like a 12-year-old in 2025 :P
more bolts on that rock than my local climbing gym lead wall
✊
adam just not clipping the last bolt... That would have made for an highlight whipper
sweaty hands!
Adam should try Silence 9c
Would be incredible to see Adam Ondra finally do the first repeat of silence years after Adam Ondra's first ascent.
Hi Adam and his team, and thank you for this amazing video! I have a question: are these olds sends? Because it looks like it was pretty cold/chill there, and in this time the south a France is quite hot.
This spring. AO Team
Was wondering, if your on-sighting the routes, how do you place the quickdraws on the wall? Or do you use the ones that are already here/been left there?
Are you planning to try le bombé bleu ?
comment foralforithm, thanks for great content adam
Thanks for watching!
I see a lot of pockets, Perfect Mundo training?
👍💪
Please go try le bombé bleu
When are we gonna get Adam on Burden and some of the harder boulders being put up?
I will probably try one nice boulder in Ticino :-)
Is that a Beal rope .if so good job there great ropes
You actually pronounced good "Brillant Saoul" !
Does the second route have another extension? It certainly could...
What are your upcoming plans, any routes/boulders you are eyeing more than others?
Back to France!
🔥a
I say the 'Boo'. I've never been but in French i thought that's how it's pronounced. Do people call it the 'Bukes'?
It's "Bu - hooks" with the french "u" sound
Average Americans sitting on the coach watching this - "*Eh, only 8c, I could do it*"
Captain Crochet is one in Buoux downgraded from 8a back to 7b+. This happened already in early nineties.
During very long time, Captain crochet was 7b. But some slopper could be worst and worst.
If you believe it is sandbagged are you suggesting a different grade then ?
Lighter after the haircut ?
Anyone else get nervous seeing the rope drag against the rocks on the decent at 14:35?
Pretty normal
rope is in motion not rubbing on same part.
@@lewy5378 It won't have any immediate impact sure. But hurts the lifespan of your equipment.
@@brianpreller5554 yes it's rock climbing. That's what happens. It's honestly so normal.
5:47 not exactly fortunate considering if there wasn't enough pockets they would just drill one
Azincourt (solid 8c from Ben Moon on the old days) had never been flash....(ruclips.net/video/to-JaZjx3GA/видео.html)
An overhang is actually less vertical. Picky picky....
Vive les spots francais !!! tes parents ont raison @
When the name of the 2nd route is a funny French slur but Adam doesn't try to pronounce it... Sad French person noises
