    I see a lot of people asking questions about grades and needing contextualisation for what an achievement this is in the climbing community, so I've broken down what the grades mean. In Europe, climbs are graded on a continuous number and letter scale, from 1a-9c, 1a being the easiest and 9c the hardest. Each number is divided into three letters, 'a' being easier than 'b' being easier than 'c'. You can also add a '+' for a climb that is between letter grades. The hardest grade ever climbed was a 9c route called 'Silence', by Adam Ondra. The grades are open-ended, meaning one day we might see a 9c+ or 10a. Grades are subjective and are agreed on by consensus. There's a famous recent example of another climber, Alex Megos, claiming the second 9c climb ever, which was later downgraded to 9b+ by Stefano Ghisolfi, who climbed it a year or so later. The grades have about this level of difficulty:
    1-3 - Basically a ladder - anyone with a very basic level of fitness should be able to get up a climb of this grade no problem. All of the holds will be huge, close together, and easy to hold.
    4a-5b - Should still be doable by anyone with a basic level of fitness
    5c - Can start to be challenging to newbies with poor technique.
    6a - Most reasonably fit newbies would take a month or two to consistently climb at this level.
    6b - Naturally strong people with little technique will start to struggle around this grade.
    6c - Getting hard now. Requires you to be technically proficient and strong, and have good endurance. The holds start to get quite small or aggressively sloped so that it's much harder to grip them, and you need to have good finger strength and technique to stay on.
    7a - This is a major milestone and achievement for many hobbyist climbers (incidentally 7a is my hardest indoor route).
    7b-7c - This starts to get into the realm of being a really very good amateur - very few people will achieve this grade. 7c is the overall grade of Freerider, the route Alex Honnold free soloed on El Capitan, although most of the pitches are much easier than this.
    8a - Incredibly difficult. In my local area we have some really very good climbers, some of whom are at the level of competing in regional competitions. Maybe four or five of them have even attempted to climb at this grade.
    8b-8c - Now getting into the realm of professional climbers. These tend to be the grades at which World Cup/Olympic lead climbs are set. 8b/8b+ are probably the highest grades that the world's very best climbers would expect to have a reasonable chance at flashing. The holds on these grades are either so small as to be basically non-existent (think the width of a finger tip for handholds and a credit card for footholds) or very sloped. These grades, especially in indoor comps, also tend to be on overhangs i.e. the wall is more than vertical.
    9a - Getting to an incredibly high level now, with fewer than 600 climbers having ever climbed a route of this grade. The hardest ever onsight, by Alex Megos (onsight is like flash but with the added difficulty that you've never even seen the route or anyone doing any of the moves. Arguably a bigger achievement than Ondra's 9a+ flash). This is also Alex Honnold's highest grade climbed (not free solo haha), after a lot of work, and he's only done it once (I only mention that as Honnold is most laypersons' idea of a great climber after seeing Free Solo, and this illustrates how far ahead Ondra is in terms of pure sports climbing ability).
    9a+ - This grade really sets you apart as a world class climber - sending a route of this grade puts you in an elite club. Fewer than 100 people have ever climbed a route of this grade. Hardest ever flash, by Adam Ondra (see this video haha)
    9b - Only the best of the best even contemplate attempting climbs of this grade. Only 32 people have climbed a route of this grade, including three women (Julia Chanourdie, Angela Eiter, and Laura Rogora).
    9b+ - Only 7 people have ever climbed a route this hard - Adam Ondra, Alex Megos, Stefano Ghisolfi, Chris Sharma, Jakob Schubert, Seb Bouin, and Sean Bailey. Janja Garnbret is currently working on La Dura Dura, the world's first 9b+ ever climbed, and I fully anticipate her achieving it some time in the near future and becoming the first woman to send a climb of this grade.
    9c - Until very recently, only Adam Ondra had climbed a 9c, a route he called 'Silence' in Flatanger, Norway. To give some perspective on how much harder it is than the 9a+ in this video, it took him over 5 years from bolting it to actually climbing it. In all, he spent more than 40 days in 2016 and 2017 attempting it before succeeding. Seb Bouin, a French climber, has recently put up another 9c route, called 'DNA'. Like Silence, it's yet to be repeated.

It makes him look so silly but I wish we all had this confidence and passion. This is one of his strengths that makes him so great. Actually we are the silly ones for being so insecure.

      @@frek175 That's like saying we all can be Chess Grandmasters as they are both arguably on a similar level of visualization and foresight. He is simply gifted in both body, mind, and spirit. His route to send silence is testament to that, a mixture of pure genius levels of problem solving through visualization that could only be made into a reality with his physical gifts. Both of these would make any individual a top body, or mind respectively. But what we see when both are combined is the art of climbing and there isn't really anything like it. But I appreciate you positivity, everyone should believe that could one day, bolt, plan, and send a 9c I just don't see anyone doing it en mass.

      @@CH-dh6ff Lol no. It might look that way but those ropes and carabiners have a breaking strain of around 22kN, which is the equivalent of a static load of around 2,500kg. You could literally hang a car off them.
      It's impossible to generate enough force on a climbing route of this kind to break undamaged equipment, especially at the top of a route. It might sound counter-intuitive, but the more rope out (i.e. the higher up you are), the less the impact of the fall. This is because the rope stretches to absorb the impact, and more rope means more stretch and less force applied to the rope.
      The only real possible way to break climbing gear (assuming it's undamaged) is on a multi-pitch route (a pitch is the length of a rope) where you can actually fall past your belayer. And even then, you'd have to really fuck up to be in a position to generate enough force to break the gear.

    I got goosebumps when he released all those emotions, it made me very happy for him. I watched him a lot in other videos with other creators, he seems like an extremely devoted climber, yet down to earth and a very humble person. This made me be even happier for him.
    There is something about seeing good people achieve something versus not so good people doing the same. My heart doesn't feel joy on the ladder.
    All in all, such a good video and thank you @AdamOndra for showing us what a person can do when they put so much love and dedication to something!

      It really is great to see and also a great feeling to accomplish something you've set your mind to. Climbing difficulty is relative. I don't climb anything as difficult as Adam, not even close. However, I've let out the same levels of emotions completing routes that were difficult for me based on my skill level. It's such a feeling of accomplishment, jubilation, and relief!!!

      Alex Honnold is a pretty average climber compared to Ondra. The only thing he excels at is free soloing. His achievements within that discipline are monumental, but his 'props' on a sport climb don't mean a lot. He's only featured to give laypeople someone to relate to. His hardest ever sport route, which he achieved after weeks of trying, is a grade lower than this route that Ondra did in one attempt.
