"He has a gift! And like everyone with a gift, he hast he responsibility to push up the difficulty, like 9a, 9a+ I don’t know. And same thing for the ropes. He has to do the first 9b+, the first 9c." In lead climbing this is exactly what Adam has done. He established the first 9b+ and the first 9c.
What about Megatron? But yes it would be cool if Bosi upgrades Terranova to 9A . Then Adam will have basically checked all the achievements in climbing.
@@gd1037megatron is quite new, but terranova is one of the first 8c+ outthere, of course also terranova is not in a so popular area, but i'm quite sure a lot of strong people tried it during the years
this is probably one of my favorite climbing videos ever. Adam's ascent of Terranova is a love letter to one of the most heinous boulders ever climbed (considering low overall quality magnified by impossible difficulty) but the boulder conentrates Adam's message - climbing can be all about mindset. If you enjyo the process and enjoy the beta, everything else falls into place. Then there is this whole seperate narrative with Gioia. A classic problem giving its all to the best climber in the world. Meanwhile. the local who originally sent it becomes this sort of local guru of esoteric beta and unwavering hospitality. Chris wants other challengers to try this boulder he claims stake to. Random rant no one will see but the stories told in this video are priceless. "One day they'll warm up on gioia".
I agree man, climbing is beautiful. I before anything else want to be happy, I want to be a person, live a life where I can sit with friends and experience beautiful things. My parents have lived that life and I want to as well, the scene where Adam is invited to Christian's home is very touching to me, it reminds me of my parents and I too wish to do the same one day, that's why I'm training the way I am i give 0 shits about money and the rest if I even have the slightest of chances to live this sort of life I'm taking it. Gives me a reason to live
That was insane. He was upside down with nothing to hold on to and he still traversed the damn thing. I am a complete novice to bouldering/climbing so I am obviously in awe...
...rather kind of cheesy in my opinion. As if the world is better off with him establishing new levels of difficulty...?! So we are even more entertained watching him. It just would be dumb not to make a living out of what you can do better than everyone else.
He is a great climber indeed, but in my book Alex still holds the tittle. There is a huge difference in climbing with a rope knowing everything you do will be fine.
@@Mr222jim no offense, my brother. But your comment is REALLY nonsense. It's just like comparing a futsal champion with a football legend. It s two different sports. Adam Ondra simply doesn't do FREE SOLO climbing (which is moronically dangerous, as dying is never a worthy outcome, but ok...). He does SPORT CLIMBING, which Alex also does, but not even REMOTELY close to Adam's level. It's just like saying "oh, but Michael Jordan is not the best Basketball player ever, because he is not the best slam dunker ever"...
@@sore_forey9259 yeah technically adam is clearly better but he is right tho, the pinnacle of climbing is free soloing and nobody can do what alex does, climbing with rope and without is day and night so I would say alex is by far the best climber because nobody has the confidence in his skills like alex does.
@@Mr222jim Adam has done routes first try that are harder than any route Honnold has ever done. Honnold is good at doing relatively easy (for elite climbers) moves with the risk of death, while adam is better at climbing overall. If all u know about climbing is one flick, prolly best to stfu
Jimmy Gustavsson that’s understandable. His tendons must be like steel wires to still be in one piece. I can only imagine the feeling, each second every single nerve in your hands screaming “LET. GO.” and yet he keeps going..
@@ian9toes It's all about feelings ^^ If you find a route much harder than everything you made till today, you can consider a new grade. But often at high levels the routes are down graded because someone else try and find a better beta than the first climber. So wait and see for Silence, but there are many reasons to think it's a real 9c
wanna know how to become a great sport climber folks well this is it.I have been a sport climber for over 30 years and in my prime I always stressed to friends in my circle that bouldering was the key to becoming a 5.13 plus climber.I really just prefer bouldering these days to climbing mainly because of how easy it is to go do, no belay,no ropes and gear,no long roadtrips,just grab your shoes and chalk and jam..so psyched for the spring
This is a really really nice short... It's personal, intimate and learns us so much more about the climbers than a "just-another-hard-boulder-flick". Thanks for making and sharing!
@@TheCasualCosmonaut How so? Chris is older gen and has been doing it way longer than Adam. Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about "bud".
Imagine just wandering around in the woods, not knowing anything about climbing and all of a sudden you hear those awful screams :-) Amzing routes btw especially the second one looks very demanding!
Holy Crap.. look at 7:28. He has 16 people standing behing him, watching him. That would be so distracting for me. Amazing that he can do such a difficult problem even WITH all that pressure and attention.
Yeah I'm not sure how they do it. Working on a problem with people doesn't bother me, but all the cameras and pressure would make me panic. Not that I could ever climb v15 though hahaha.
Bosi gonna have to get way more flexible to pull some of these moves off. Adam really was on a different level (probably still is). Adam seriously set the first V17 too... freaking insane.
An open question related to this and La Dura Complete video: How much consent is needed to confirm that a certain problem is actually a new, higher difficulty rating? Do we call it V16 because only two top climbers have climbed it and we need to take their word for it? After a certain difficulty, do climbers start practicing proficiency in individual niche skills, making some (hard) problems more or less difficult to various individuals, and do the ratings hold any value at that point? I'd love to hear some opinions, and links to other places where this discussion is happening.
consensus for hard routes, as well as easy, is not strictly required, but the first ascender chooses a rating. Sometimes, famous climbers will publicly downgrade a route, in spite of FA's rating. Most routes are compared to other routes of similar difficulty in the area. At the high end, routes of even very different character are compared by their climbers. A 5.14d on a slightly overhanging wall in Red River Gorge won't climb the same way a super steep Oman cave does. Shorter climbers often use smaller intermediate holds, while taller ones make bigger moves to larger features. The most contentious rating is a new hardest rating, but if you're climbing the hardest route in the world, no one knows better than you if it's harder than other routes that have been climbed. You establish your reputation by first climbing known routes about which others agree. When Sharma climbed Realization, it had been set and tried by others who climbed 5.14d. No one could do it. Sharma climbed it and rated it 5.15.
I have to agree with Kevin Gabelman pretty much 100% spot on. He (or she) who climbs a route first gets the privilege of grading it, but as with all climbing it is about self motivation and accomplishment so grading a 12b as a 13a is a bit silly and everyone who climbs it will know that it is graded (super) soft. As for these super hard routes that only 1 or 2 people have ever climbed, realistically these climbers have decades of experience and they know what they are doing. So yes we kind of just have to trust them but in reality I'm sure the grades are on point.
If you think the climb is easier than the first ascender graded it, you can prove your point by climbing it yourself. If it's harder, the absence of repeats will sort of make the point. For example, Alex Huber graded 'Open Air' as 9a in 1996. But then, even though many other 9a's had been climbed by all kinds of people, no-one repeated 'Open Air' for over 16 years. Finally Ondra repeated it in 2012, and said it should probably be upgraded to 9a+. Given the lack of repeats as well as Ondra's reputation, plus the fact that he has no ax to grind (having climbed many routes that are even harder) most people now accept the 9a+ grade.
+Jordan Huus Yeah^^ I actually think the fact, that this comparison comes to mind, is a testament to the quality of movement Andy Serkis was able to achieve in his performance.
This video is from 2013 but damn, the quality of the shots as well as choice of shots is so freaking well-crafted I would believe it immediately that it just released - apart from the lack of 60frames per second footage ofc.

Hi, Chuck Fryberger here. I filmed this video and I really appreciate your comment. It was an honor to work with Adam and to meet one of my own personal heros Christian Core at the same time.
@@sparkshop5259 Hey, Chuck. You've created one of the most impressive video of those days. I just rewached it after 9 years to check out Adam's beta to compare with Will's. Seems to me that with video you've set out a new aestetics of climbing film. This concept really became popular since then. Props.
I can't find the song at the end "Unknown cubist perspective" by The Gaucho & The Gremlin anywhere. It's not on the Soundcloud anymore... Does anyone have a link please ?
Re the shouting - Eric Horst explains it in an analysis of Ondra's climb of "Silence" : Adam alternates between brief moments of breath-holding (Valsalva maneuver to maximize core stiffness and stability) and forceful exhalations, which compel inhalations that maintain arterial oxygen saturation (important to support aerobic power production). I don’t know if Adam was ever coached to do this or if it’s just intuitive for him, but his MO of screaming through hard sequences is an excellent strategy to drive deep breathing and maintain aerobic power, by avoiding the common problem of “legacy breath holding” (as I call it) in which you continue to breath-hold beyond the instant of doing a single hard move (this results in hypoxia and a greater rate of fatigue). :)
@@codyheiner3636 Not for Adam during super difficult climbs. The screaming is what helps/forces him to exhale. He said he doesn't really like it either, but it does the job for him.
I've never climbed like that but i could see through the lens that it must feel like needles impaling fingertips while ligaments are slowly tearing apart !!! Ouchies !!! Mind over matter !!! 🏆💪👍👑
The personality of Cristian is amazing and his masterpiece is not only superhard but also extremely beautiful. The V16 of Adam is not a beauty but I could imagine it"s even harder then V16 ... I would not be surprised if it gets V17 one day.
Its actually probably the brachioradialis muscle which is primarily used to maintain arm flexion, my best guess since it attaches at the mid arm and mid forearm...
I like how Terranova was just padding in this video, and now Will Bosi is talking like it might actually be a v17.
The fact that Terranova is still unrepeated to this day shows that it’s no way it’s only a V16 and that Adam was on a entirely different level.
