    I first watched this video in my first year of climbing around 4 years ago. It amazed me then and gave me the drive to get better. As I got better I rewatched it, probably a year or two later, again, it helped to burn the fire inside of me brighter. I just rewatched again, after climbing for 4 years and it is just as amazing and just as inspiring as it was 4 years ago. This video has been an instrumental part in my climbing journey, and truly, in my opinion, the best video on RUclips.

But each of them is so genuinely helpful and supportive to to the other - what a great example not only of sportsmanship, but also of well-lived lives.

That is a very different kind of climbing: long form endurance, big wall climbing that normally takes days, and Alex's feat is monumental, one of the most incredible athletic performances in history. This video with Chris and Adam, however, is a different feat entirely, and what is truly amazing about it is, again, the fact that Chris is essentially passing the torch to Adam. Alex is an incredible athlete and badass, and Chris and Adam would never dream of soloing like he does, but when it comes to sheer strength and climbing ability, these guys are miles ahead of him.

    For the "why they scream" question, researchers at Drexel University found that when subjects were asked to use a handgrip that they exerted 10 percent more energy than simply exhaling. They're not sure on the exact mechanics, but they postulated it creates a fight or flight response that gets the adrenaline going. Not definitive but there could be a physiological reason why they grunt. Until I see a silent guy beat a 9b+ climb, can't say whether it's just pointless noise.

    Adam is to traditional climbing what Alex Honnold is to free soloing -- both are very technical and committed.
    Although, The Czech Kid seems to be in lots of pain on this rock -- it must take everything a person has, even a trained one, to complete these moves. That pitch was insane -- I can see how it was a world record for difficulty.

    God I’m so bummed that I haven’t been following this sport longer. I knew nothing about climbing until Free Solo came out, and I guess that’s kind of like if you were to watch the Super Bowl your first time watching football. So then I watched the Dawn Wall and Silence and a lot of the well know pieces on rock climbing. I personally have no interest in climbing, I be been boxing for about 12 years, but idk what it is but specifically, but as a spectator, climbing might be my favorite sport to just observe. I’m totally hooked. Now I spend so much time watching anything climbing related and all the awesome documentaries and it’s like a new hobby for me. There is something about not knowing what the human limitations are that leaves a lot of room for these monumental leaps in skill and ability that people achieve in climbing that blows me away. I think Tommy Caldwell said it in Free Solo that “ people who know a little about climbing are like ah he says he’s got it, he can do it, and people that REALLY know climbing are freaked out”. I’ve never been to Yosemite so I didn’t really understand that gravity...no pun intended...of what he was doing and I finally made it to Yosemite this summer, somewhat because of free solo, and dude....the idea of someone up on El Capitan without a rope seriously makes my balls hurt. I still don’t think a lot of people understand how crazy that was. Anyway, for any climbers out there, you guys deserve more credit and as many fans as the best athletes in the world get and keep pushing the boundaries.

      +Marlon Mendez No, not talented. They just worked really hard for it! :) I'm not a believer in people being born with the talent to do something; I believe that if you want to do it, enough effort can make you do it! ( in a realist margin. )

      huzi37709 That's absolutely true.
      They definitely worked their asses off.

    Close your eyes and you wouldn't know it if was someone rock climbing or someone pooping out a bowling ball.

    Seriously impressive. As for the screams we have 2 reasons. 1. That shit looks like it hurts, and you can see their muscles just flairing so they are exerting everything they have. 2. Screaming helps to suppress the pain and give an adrenaline boost.
    I'm no rock climber and don't have the strength to lift my ass up even simple rock climbing walls. What these guys are doing you pretty much have to entirely optimize your body for, which grants further gravity to the fact that they were able to do it.

      "....as I was resting" ... meanwhile he hangs off a stone wall with his fingertips and a couple of toes. I think they would have stopped screaming by now if it helped their climbing-efficiency.

      rednekdashie Screaming also helps with strength. Roar and you can clench your grip a little bit harder for a few milliseconds.

      Interesting insight on the screaming! Didn't think of it helping pain threshold and adrenaline!

      adam said he does it so he can know he is breathing out. just imagine for a second that these guys are balancing their entire bodyweight on holds that are sometimes 0,5cm and also basically doing HARD calisthenic exercise at the same time while balancing. It requires 100% mental focus of every inch of your body and insane concentration and strength. Ofc you would scream
      it's like when you're trying to curve a bowling ball or something and you just start screaming to will it in. except here you also have to do it with your own body and try 100% while this situation is happening
      THAT is how it sounds like inside their heads. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUCKEN DOOOOOO IIIIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
      I also think breathing out and tensing your core is very beneficial when you're doing these moves. it keeps the body very stable, like if you're trying to shoot a gun.
      The body is stable because it is in a contracting state also tensioned by yelling. You probably shouldn't scream like that just before you shoot when you're out hunting though lmao.

      It's a completely primal thing. He has no control over it because his hindbrain is telling him he's in mortal danger.

    Just got into really diving into rock climbing vids and I think it’s funny how Adam is the only climber that I’ve seen that screams while he climbs. But I love it since it reminds me of power lifters whenever they do a heavy ass lift.
