so blessed for these videos! not a lot of sports can say that their best athlete is giving insight to his mindset!

I LOVE Adams' never quit attitude. One of the many things that make him the best.

It’s all good. He just made that project LEGENDARY!!! Every young, powerful kid in the area will obsess over sending the climb that Adam couldn’t do.

How is no one talking about how Adam said that the routes bolted by Alan Watts could potentially be 9c. Thats coming from Adam!!

Love the comparison of footage from attempts side by side.

Spoiler: Adam made a video about a climb where he went 3 meters up and fell off... 8 times. And still it's a good video.

“You need a lot of endurance, you need to stay confident and calm” Ok so you’re telling me don’t go

These videos keep me sane...

I always enjoy mondays. It's new Magnus's video, then Ondra's.

i really like this multiple attempts footage. it gives a real insight and is fun to watch.

Relly nice video Adam! It really shows a glimpse of how much effort that goes into your climbing.

Thank you for the in depth explanation of the process. It was a great video

Thx for your fast production🙂

Thanks for releasing content during these times...

Good work Adam..your keeping me inspired..😁😁👍💪

Loved it. Thanks.

awesome to see some failure too! This makes the sends so much more valuable, great attitute adam and awesome series!

wow these wonderful colours with the sun on the rock!

Thank you Adam it’s so refreshing to see an honest video . Some night only show the last climb when they succeeded . As you know few successes don’t require failure as learning .

Gorgeous place! I wanna go there some day ....

Excellentes, ces vidéos "confinées" (au moins il y a des côtés positifs)! On a l'impression de batailler soi-même avec la voie.

Really loved the split screens.

Really awesome stuff

Adame, díky moc! Nejsem lezec a tvůj sport sleduju spíš jen proto, že lezl můj táta. Ale tahle videa jsou úžasný nakopávák, který ukazuje, jak lze dosáhnout cílů, i když je to velmi obtížné a vyžaduje to několik pokusů. Ještě jednou dík za super motivačku!

Držím palce, chlape. Ty na to máš! 💛💪 Rád tě sleduji

Great reflexion , fantastic vídeo

So good!

Only Adam can find a knee-bar at Smith. Fun fact: the corner to the left on the Awl is a 10c first climbed by Bill Ramsey in 1961, making it one of the hardest routes in the U.S. at the time.

I really liked the side by side edit to see the different attempts together

somehow satisfying to see a video on an unfinished project, which shows Adam is not afraid to show these situations as well (which are a fact of life). Pretty sure he will make the climb if he ever returns

Most beautiful place on earth. If you've never been there, it's a must see. We had a trip planned for Apr.27th but will have to now wait. We have hiked there at least 25 times over the years but have never seen a rattlesnake, so be careful!

Great storytelling! Loving the content during lockdown

I live near smith rock, I hike there a lot and the view is always amazing

This is where I was born and raised! I love central oregon!

What a beautiful line that one

"It is harder than it looks." - Really?! It looks impossible!

Just got into serious climbing and this man and Magnus are encyclopedias

Amazing content! Thanks for keeping it coming!

I love it ,i am from 🇮🇩

Loved the video! Beautiful insights. Can you make a video on how you have been training during quarantine? I think it would be extremely interesting and informative!

Impossível não vibrar com ele quando ele finaliza a via.

On your next trip to America, check out The Black Hills in South Dakota

Wow. Oregon gets a win.

I grew up around smith rock, had no idea the legend it was, really wish I coulda met a climber then, I'm 34 about to start. Now I live in Virginia.......

I love smith rock. I live 40 minutes away from it, too bad its closed right now

i live about an hour from here, a wonderful spot and i have never even rock climbed!

Really cool 😎 similar to our FRANKENJURA 😉 but a little big bigger 😂 best greetings from Oberfranken/Bavaria

Adam falls unexpectedly: "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" Adam ascends: "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Nothing to do with the climb, but whats up with the moving blured part of the image throughout the beggining of the video? Curious about it, since if it was a sensor with dust or something , it wouldnt look like that. Thanks for another beautiful video.

Great episode. I wouldn't say now or never. Hope you make it back there to send that route in better conditions. Just a matter of time.

love the side by side for the attempts, not a massive fan of the white transition screen thought... regardless love these vids

As we say in Northern Ireland, you seem like a very decent spud! Very talented also. You will be a great teacher some day.

I got to spend about four or five days here back in 2008 I only did 1 route rock climbing just to kind of try it out and I will say that it is way harder than it actually looks and it looks hard so yeah.

4 :16 this belayer issss reallllyyyyyy goooodddd

"Very finger-ey and pump-ey" My oh my.

On sites an 8C+, what an absolute unit

has anyone notice the scratch in the lens right cornee above??

What the hell! I can't see any handles. STUNNING!!!

Wow. Those quarantine videos are simply amazing!! Almost wishing the virus stays longer :p

why not show the full climb at the end? i wanted to see him make the hold

so this is at least an O1 climb now :O

Dobrá časť by mohla byť o zraneniach prstov z lezenia :)

"bolted most of the hardest route", bbut what he doesnt say is that lot of bold were already in place at his surprise when discovering these routes; like everywhere else. where do they come from, from when, and how

Can anyone tell me how they always get the quickdraws into the bolts before they climbed the route please ?

03:00 even the belayer is warming up🤣

Say haii for indonesia 🇲🇨 @adamondra 😁

intro = like

Any guesses on what grade that project is?

sun hits the rock, adam hisses like a vampire.

sad smith is closed right now !!!

What if Adam did some gym works too

I live in oregon

How can you not smile like an idiot when he finally succeeds and lets out that yell. Everyone around him is smiling too. I just keep repeating that little 10 second loop.

:)

Keď raz budeš doma, prídi pozrieť Hrádok, Kamenec pod Vtáčnikom na Slovensku ...

My hallway arch is probably an 8a+ really overgrade for me but if I keep projecting I might send. Leave below your improvised home climbing routes!

I wish I had any kind of rock to climb on. There's genuinely no exposed rock at all within 50 miles of my house

@3:30, look at the amount of slack from Alan belaying Adam, he would've DECKED if he fell between those two clip points...I guess Alan was paying a little too much attention to Adam's climbing and not belaying ;)

Lol "very fingery, very pumpy."

Why climb with shirt on?

didnt know alan watts was a climber

3:33 lot of slack. Dont fall :).

1:10 not lucky, happy

Write the damn meters on the route info. Nobody does it anymore. Not even in online guide books. The damn meters.

Do a video with Magnus!!!

I wonder if Watts gave him shit for wearing a knee pad lol.

I really like your commentary on the climbing. Yet is does most of the time spoil/reveal the outcome of the climb before it finishes and thereby making a bit less exciting. For example you already reveal that you are going to fall off before you actually do, or you sound dissapointed so I know you are not gonna make it that try. Anyone else have that?

Smith rock scares the shit out of me. At least the moderates do.

The performance should not be the goal, on the contrary, it is a dead end voice, which leads only to its ego. Watch how judo, a defense-based discipline, turns into a sport. It is not Judo, and the "do" the way which transcends a sport in discipline disappears. This is how we pervert things. Climbing aimlessly other than succeeding is a waste of time. La performance ne doit pas etre le but, au contraire, c'est une voix sans issue, qui ne mène qu'à son ego. Regardez comment le judo, une discipline basé sur la défense, qui se transforme en sport. Ce n'est plus du Judo, et le "do" la voie qui transcende un sport en discipline disparaît. Voilà comment on pervertit les choses. La grimpe sans but autre que de réussir est une perte de temps.

What did the librarian say to Tommy? Read more...

I think he will stop climb to midle way so bored

What I don't get is why these guys talk like there's only one set in stone move list to be followed for each individual project.. Like if a person bolts a new route and is the first to send it, then when people ask him/her about it they tell them move by move what they did and it sounds like everyone thinks they have to then exactly copy that move list from the guy who sent it before them. That's all well and good to learn about a set of moves that ended up working out for the last guy, but just because someone did a left handed crimp on the 4th move or something it doesn't mean that you still couldn't approach each different zone of the route in your own way. At the end of the day I'd think you'd want to just study the route but then make your own personal edits and even bypass certain moves if possible, like if you were strong enough to dino straight up by 2'-3' and the guy before you couldn't do that maybe you could skip 2 entire moves that the guy before you did by creating your own shortcut of sorts. So with so many possibilities in front of each climber it just surprises me to hear someone this skilled talking about exactly mimicking previously created move lists move for move like he's got no other choice but to complete the route exactly how someone else told him he should do it... Why couldn't you just approach each climb like a fresh palate and create your own move list and your own slightly different path through the climb based on your style and preferences?
