1:39 “Adam’s most favorite belayer” that’s super cute

"Adam often leaves out protection, with pleasure" Soon we will have a newborn climbing baby.

Adam girlfriend is worlds best belayer cos she belayed upto 9c

'I'm not that experienced with belaying, I've only belayed up to 9a+' - Adam

0:34 "Climbing is about being in a group." [Alex Honnold has left the chat]

I think the worst situation is when you are climbing at your maximum, when you are not confident and at this moment, when you look at the bottom, you see your belayer that is not looking at you.

That's why I love Adam, he is humble and always gives credit to everyone around him. Stay that way Adam, that's what makes you so special and so sympathic :)

"Adam's most favorite belayer" that made me smile a bit

What an excellent video! So much good information. Thanks!

You're a hero, im starting climbing and your video help me so much for beat my fear. Best tips ever

Great video. Very informative. I’m not a climber, but I love what you do and you answered several questions here.

5:39 No one is talking about this??? *Ok*

So good this video Adam, thank you so much 🙂

Very good English and accent Adam! You are easily understood as it is difficult for people to achieve this from that part of Europe. I have always been interested in knowing what pro climbers think about their belayers, especially in competitions. This was great insight! I always try to watch them closely but after the first bolt they are out of the shot. I have never seen a belayer in competition use an auto-locking device and it is interesting how some still use a figure 8. I've had many falls unnecessary by belayers not giving me slack fast enough when clipping on hard routes.

Great informative video Adam :)

Adams girlfriend is so cute. Very lovely person!

At 2:32, do as he says, NOT as he does! Also that fall in Flatanger is scary AF. Epic video, maybe Adam's most important so far!

Awesome Video !!

Great video!

I love these videos! Can you do more about multi pitches?

omg, no words, thank u Master Ondra, courage, keep on, and be safe on the walls!

i quarantee that this was helpful

pěkné video, díky :)

So cool thanks you!

Nice video :)

6:43 "work as Quarantee"? pls don't remind me of my situation 😅

Quarantine youtube is the best.

GREAT VIDEO at 7:13 anyone knows the Name of the song please?

My favorite belayer is Connie Lightner. Shout out to the moms!

3:50 damn.. It hurts...

Wait, did he just let go his breaking hand while talking about rope management.

4:33 Did Adam backclip a quickdraw there?

Hi Adam, i’m learning so much about climbing from many youtube videos, including yours! I started climbing only this year and now that i’m in quarantene i can’t train... i’ve saw a beast maker 1000 on a czech website, but i can’t find it again, do you know where may i can find it? can’t wait to climb again

Does this remind anymore else of Petzl's "World's best Belayer" video?

Can you still onsight a multipitch if your partner has already attempted the multipitch?

"Adam's most favorite belayer" LOL

Is this still road to tokio?

do you ever take clipping falls? if so, when was the last time?

Hi Adam did you now that the ol is canceled

dik za titlky uz sem byla ztracena

anyone else notice that radek said that the biggest problem was not controlling the brake rope when his hand was completely off it and then continued to slide his hand on it basically releasing the brake strand repeatedly?

since the olympics are in 2021, we will get to see 51 more videos

Adam I'm curious to know your viewpoint on wearing helmets.

Why this episode called "belaying" and all we see is ondra climbing again?

Does somebody know which is the knot that Adam uses to climb? 0:08

stefano

Aaaaaand at 5:05 Adam's personally grabbed gri-gri and successfully blocked it furthermore the bottom end of the rope was uncontrolled too =) Thanks for nice belaying, thank you all)))

Is 1:22 The Boulder Problem on El Cap?

6:42 when Quarantine messes with your english skills 🤣

Hey Adam besides personal preference, why don't you wear a helmet?

Yeah, I’d say a good belayer is kind of important.

I know the feel belaying climber with almost 2x my body weight (i am 48kilos and my friend around 80kilos), the moment he fell; damn i felt like my heart jump up to my throat

Why can’t climbers choose their own belayer during championships/competitions?

What belaying device was he using?

"When I'm belaying someone who's not as good as I am..."

so there is some footage of adam climbing the book of hate!!!

Okay

03:37 Why does it not count if the belayer gives you less slack?

First 😀

Jištění je easy to learn ale hard to master (podle mě)

3:33

A really good video, but I have seens Adam on another video, how he is belaying really bad.

3:56 the pain of the girl is higher than of the adam

song @7:16

im gonna find a new partner so I can belay at a higher level

*How to protect your country from a pandemic: host the Olympics !* Just wait until afterwards, suddenly Japan will announce drastic measures.

Is adam better than magnus ?

Why did the first belayer take his hand off the rope at 2 minutes he better not have been belaying Adam

Don't climb the same time as Adam. Man will startle you off the wall.

Forth

Dude is Spiderman.

Crazy to think Alex did this without all that

Third

Why neither you nor your belayer rarely wears a helmet in your video? 🤔

And yet Radek pays out slack with the rope hand much too high at 2:41 - a(n auto)tuber cannot grip at this position, the ropehand must always stay BELOW THE DEVICE.

Road to Tokio +1 year. :/

Hahaha 9:17 he throws the rope around his leg

2:17 One of the most common mistakes is: ... THEN HE DOES THE MOST COMMON AND BIGGEST MISTAKE: NEVER LET GO OF THE BRAKING ROPE!!! NEVER!!! NOT EVEN FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSE IF HE IS BELAYING SOMEONE RIGHT NOW !!!

2.20 WTF, that guy wants to teach us sth about belaying? No matter if it's an autoblocker, the right hand has to hold the rope, that's it.

я из России

corona???????

1:27 Anyone else recognize this as the famous "Boulder problem" insane to think Alex honnold free soloed this.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLB4icqcyM7Hkqs.html What I thought of for every second of this video

Third Comment :D

Hahaa im climbing to and im 12 and have 53kg and adams girl friend is more than 18 years and have 50kg

Not nearly enough detail. This isnt really helpful to teach beginners how to give good catches. If this was supposed to be a way to "tame fear" from climbing and falling, then this should be about how to give the sweetest catches. I think only 50% of climbers know that their belayer is going to give them a great catch every time. The bad belayers just dont understand the basic principles behind the mechanics of a Hard-catch vs a Soft-catch. Mani the Monkey explains it well, but also fails to demonstrate clearly why/how falling is controlled at the point where the rope initiates, and changes the direction of fall towards the protection you are last clipped into. At the point of initiation, the belayer's options are either to add force, remain a neutral force, or reduce force on the falling climber. If you jump as the rope begins to pull you up off the ground, then you will significantly reduce the effect of the direction change, i.e. the falling climber getting spiked back into the wall. Misjudging the jump COULD actually add force to the fall and make things much worse. If the belayer instinctively sits back on the rope at the moment the rope comes tight, more force would be added than if they had just stood there relaxed. So your options are, sit there, dynamically sit down or "take", or "go with" the pull of the rope. Based on the weight differential and fall distance, you judge whether to do just a little by walking into and up the wall (like Mani's video shows well), or minimize the force as much as you can by jumping as high as you can muster at that perfect moment. Most of the time, you want minimal slack, and a soft-catch. Most people misconstrue more slack out as a soft-catch, but in reality, it just increases the forces and the fall distance.

Funny how these recently Toprope certified people try to catch mistakes in belaying by trained and experienced professionals.

climbing with a rope destroys the art and beauty of climbing. .there's no substitute for free solo. . .it is the ultimate test in every climber's skill and psychology. .how one would assess a person ascending on a rockwall attached to a safety rope then midway or somewhere in a climb just decided to let himself go because he was assured by a lifeline. .alex climbed perfectly well it's the reason why he's still alive. .ondra would have died long time ago with those hasty and erratic climbs. .he depends so much on technology. .technology makes professional climbers look like amateurs. .the thrill and the meaning of struggle diminish. .rock climbing is only one way, you either go up or simply face your fate downward. .
