As always, Adam is right: advanced climbers area better at committing to rest fully or committing to momentum through the cruxes. Intermediates waste energy not fully resting and hesitating in hard sections. Adam is not only the best climber, he is the best teacher of all the top climbers.
Love Adam's advice! I recently did my first 7a and I noticed something very similar to what Adam talked about. I only found two semi-good resting positions, that were good for maybe two shake-outs each, so I didn't rest for long, but rather concentrated on climbing through the easier parts as efficiently as possible. Also I made sure that I knew the moves well enough that I could climb through the harder parts quicker. In the end it felt like I wasn't even significantly pumped when I got to the top. Definitely made me think, since that bit of better pacing made such an enormous difference to me. Great video!
I am singular watcher of this channel. I do not climb, i have never climbed, i don't plan to get in the sport, but i enjoy the topic being outdoors and actually i don't know why, but i like watching these videos.
So amazing! Watching videos with Adam makes me want to go climbing right away. He is making me so confident and that feeling pushes me to try new roads. I cannot miss him next time I get the chance to see him in person, as I have never met him.
Wahoo Best advice in the world 👏 👏 thank you so much Adam Ondra for sharing all that experience and knowledge with the climbing community 🎩 👍 ❤ 🧗♀️ Definitely one of the most authentic and humble existing elite climber. I had the chance to meet Chris Sharma in Beijing when I was living in China during an exhibition he is made from the same material 👍 👍 nice and humble person 👌 Thanks for this amazing vid’s content 🙏
0:20 is much more problematic i think. Once grigri is locked, it's safe unless the climber starts climbing again. But belaying without a brake hand and fully blocking the mechanism...
nervousness comes from not living in the moment and thinking too much ahead with a negative disposition to what problem you might face instead of devoting yourself entirely to the present moment. Once you worry about things inside your imagination you do not have the opportunity to solve them inside your imagination, so it is not productive. Even though they might be hard to solve in real life, at least there you have an opportunity, but things in your mind just pollute your performance.
Looks like he's a lefty. That may explain why his technique looks weird. Plus, who asks Ondra for a catch? No one. He probably has like 3 hours of belay experience in his whole life:)
Grigri is a semi-automatic belay advice, one should hold the rope at all times...anyway, it's up to the climber, I kindly ask my belayers to hold the rope all the time, and surely hold theirs as well
Is it really advice or just skill/strength that is essential. I dont really see what Adam could do to help teach, anymore than an experienced climber. Its practice and muscle memory with little hints and tips included.
The lack of helmets annoys me as well, a few weeks ago a woman died in Spain due to rock fall while belaying, a helmet probably could have saved her life...
Adam is so f*ing humble being one of the best athletes in the world. So much respect for the dude!

Freestyle 👊
Such superb insights from the master Adam Ondra! His lead game is second to none, especially in the art of hard on-sight climbing. A true artist.
Love how humble and positive Adam is!
1:17 Adam spitting game lol
He looks like the coolest teacher ever
Love this guy. Just keep climbing. He climbs as though falling isn't even in his mind

2:45 No hand on the Break Line. Adam Adam ; -)
Needed to see this after panicking on routes well below my onsight level today - climbing is so much about mental game. Great advice.
Matt looks so happy during this episode. Honestly I would be happy too, if I could get advice from such a great climber. Interesting advices btw.
thank you for such a lesson on climbing. its a privilege to count on Adam advises and points of view.
Nice job Matt at the 7a! :)

At 3:50 Adam is thinking "I can climb 7a all day and not get pumped"
Adam is god
Amazing to see you on a rock with him
Charley Edwards 😂 thanks charley!
Well done Adam for helping ordinary climbers.
I can’t think of another athlete that is one of the best in their sport and is still so humble. Please let me know know of anyone else if I’m wrong.
Adam is a beast when he climbs he is truly talented
11:03 brilliant advice
A truly motivational speech, Adam! Thank you so much
It's cute how star struck you were with Adam!
Top top, Adam is a great guy!
Good send matt!
Lucky you! Great episode
Rod thanks!!
I wanna see Adam just run up this 7A like it was a ladder :D
2:45 belayer (is he Ondra?) with no hand on the rope. O-O
grigri, aint no thang tbh
0:20 is much more problematic i think. Once grigri is locked, it's safe unless the climber starts climbing again. But belaying without a brake hand and fully blocking the mechanism...
Que grande Nico Cima de Palestra gim!!! Córdoba!
its really helpful, thank you ..
Hey Matt, what brand/model jeans are you wearing in this video? They seem pretty well built, and I'm looking for some jeans with a crotch gusset.
get you someone that looks at you the way matt looks at adam
Helpfull Lesson! Thank You guys.. :)
Great Area !
Nice climb - well done !
DD
Any idea where Adam got his jacket from? The red one
Amazing video

Awesomeness!!!
Quick question: is Rockbusters open for everyone or only for uk citizens?
It's open to everyone!
Matt shouldn't constantly be self-deprecating! Doesn't do anyone any good.
Yeah exactly, he just climbed a 7a. I'm a noob who's highest projected grade was a 6c.
Well Matt is English you know, so good luck changing that.
He's English. It's humility and humor. I've always admired that about the English.
0:20 does adam ondra have a death grip on the gri gri ?
I can't even imagine how much this course costs
Adam je fakt dobrej
On 3:04 Adam belaying not recommented
😂
is ok, because it is still before the first clip.
Yea its not like having his hand on the brake rope is going to stop a fall if she isn't even clipped onto anything
Looks like he's a lefty. That may explain why his technique looks weird. Plus, who asks Ondra for a catch? No one. He probably has like 3 hours of belay experience in his whole life:)
@@Mdjagg hahahaha
Amazing
ondra not holding the dead rope on the grigri 2:45.... outrageous!
Edmund Spencer haha, man sometimes your hands get cold. I do that all the time. It’s on a Gri Gri..
Grigri is a semi-automatic belay advice, one should hold the rope at all times...anyway, it's up to the climber, I kindly ask my belayers to hold the rope all the time, and surely hold theirs as well
Looks like rope hand into pocket (like in the Petzl instructional video), which is ok.
PROOF - caulking up is a great stall tactic
Is it really advice or just skill/strength that is essential. I dont really see what Adam could do to help teach, anymore than an experienced climber. Its practice and muscle memory with little hints and tips included.
PantsB4Squares The tactics and mental game that Adam taught on the trip have transformed my climbing!
I really think Adam should grow a goatie or some moustaches
Daniele Florean 😂
I changed my mind. Only moustaches.
that dude at 1:56 tho
YESSSSSSSSS!
Nice
Adam Ondra has good taste in drinkware
"How did you manage to get Adam Ondra on your course?"
Money. Lots of money.
trust your feet? that's the advice she got from adam ondra?
another tip is wearing a helmet it can do a lot to extend your time rock climbing
no helmet ???
The rock looks pretty clean, so it isn’t really needed.
Everyfing
Where's your helmet Matt?
Probably in his bag?!
As father of a young climber, it really bothers me when I see people who represent themselves as teachers who do not use basic safety precautions.
@@tgray2735 then why don't you tell your child to wear a helmet? its not his job to make sure your child is safe.
Clean rock. All good
hmm, is this the right way to, use a grigri? at 20 sec.
Yeah how ever
First
Nice!
he can teach you how to NOT belay with Grigri...
Not a single helmet and Adam is using an incorrect belay technique.
The lack of helmets annoys me as well, a few weeks ago a woman died in Spain due to rock fall while belaying, a helmet probably could have saved her life...
I know about that accident. I personally have received a few rock impacts in my helmet, without one it would have resulted in injuries.
if you know the rock is solid you dont need helmets
El Salto del Gallo adam did this because it was before the first clip
Everybody re dead.
