Adam Ondra on Action Directe 11 / www.EuroClimbing.com

[piemagon]

Good to see the passion, making lub to the wall

[99KOHL]

The fact that ANYONE has the gall to say anything negative about Ondra is ridiculous. He's the best climber/boulerer in the world. Enjoy ur V6's at the local gym while this kid onsights v14...go get a life.

[Dstrukt2k2]

Best in the world? .....sure

[mig23]

Adam Ondra one of the best climbers in the world

[StreetvibeDnB]

What a fag. Adam ondra is a goof I don't care how strong the bitch is.

[sikckaputten]

@StreetvibeDnB he ain't that strong, he just has 0% body fat, which is a quite important factor in rock climbing.

[snyggman]

@sikckaputten A ridiculous statement. I have seen him in real and I can tell you that he is probably as strong as me being 40 lbs lighter. He has low fat yes, but i almost think his forearms contain jawmuscles.

[chrisofnottingham]

Hard to feel drawn to anyone making noises like that, it's not exactly grace under pressure.

[fmead99]

@chrisofnottingham

It not exactly pressure either... just one of the most difficult lines in the world.

[tmdttpc]

"Wolfgang Güllich invented the campus board to train the very specific technique needed for this route." < AWESOME.

[Cheesemax96]

he is making funny sounds ^^

[benadril]

Sounds like he got his pubes stuck in a crack.

[northaunt]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 

[Dalamon1]

he sounds like me when iam climbing 7a+ xDD

[moneybody1]

Wolfgang went way too soon, The fact this route is still too hard for many climbers shows Wolgang was way ahead of his time in the climbing world.

Who knows what other routes he could have put up if he was still around today?

[jehanon]

yes and no , the difficulty is very near of its maximum

[SteveVaiFreak]

@moneybody1 what is the complete name of this wolfgang ?

[tOdAySuX]

Wolfgang Güllich

[postxng]

fantastic performance, but what about that black monster roof to the right at 2.00?

[BillyBobsEel]

You missed a clip

those noises...*shudder*

[lopside0]

wow, you are such a douche.

[mutellamann]

@BillyBobsEel Dai missed the same clip in his ascent

[mastaX89]

warpig going to battle

[gnrrrrrrr7]

this guy is a monster

[Lifesucksdie123]

it's so much steeper than it looks!

unreal.

he cruised it

[bickill]

i feel like his arms are extremely long for his body. maybe im just seeing things...

[JulianZoller]

No.... I met him last week and his arms, legs and his neck are just so freaking long =)

but it seems to help alot ;)

[Roflwahflez]

I know he screams in a strange way, but he sounds like some crazy badass that's gonna climb that thing no matter what

[lopside0]

just to read the comments on climbing videos, you'd have to assume that climbers are a rabid pack of total douche bags. anyway, much respect for the very hard send.

[fujinaddict]

Whoever is negative.... just give the route a try....

this is the most hard problem there is..

[mnutt12]

This a route. Problems are for bouldering.

[raqe17]

no applause? its strange

[climber974]

what a retard

[audiobuttmaster]

He screams like a fuckin retard in a mental hospital or some shit. What an idiot.

[gaivotas]

this "retard" kid is just the best world climber today.......

[CapoeiraFish]

Fair play! skipping clips

[FuGreece]

he screams like hes giving birth xD

[gascoigne85]

è solo il N°1.

[AndreaLaika]

Ma è assatanato?!!!!!!

[golfismygame88]

haha. he just skips the clip

[gewinnste]

You have to, it´s impossible to clip there on a redpoint! Nobody does/ever did this clip. It's only for checking out the moves. BTW it´s officially not allowed to top out for ecological reasons - the right way to climb Action dirècte is to jump off after reaching the jug, like e.g. Alex Adler did it (and I think Wolfgang himself).

[Frankingers]

he screams like a dog:-)

[Lorenz028]

I would be exremely happy to bark all the way as I climb that route.. :D

[thejugglingfool]

he does sound a bit like a dog with a flu...

MMUUUUUUUGH...MUGGHH

LOVE ONDRA THOUGH ANYWAYS!!!!!!!

[Carpbag]

This is the climb that inspired the campus board - Gullich invented it to train for the dynamic fingery moves. The wall is in Germany (in the Frankenjura) and looks like a very hard 9a! (Courtesy of Wikipedia)

[somegi9]

great grunting! looks like a epic climb, where is the wall?

[MiauZi69]

germany, bavaria

[xxyox]

Every time I see this climb all I can think about is what a quantum leap Wolfgang Gullich was ahead of his time.

[moottheboxgangyo]

wow he is my new favorite climber

[123Alias123]

Love his psyche grunt. Sounds like a war pig oging to battle! Nice one ;) XD

[fistusfanius]

Flawless technique

[jrpimpdog]

he skipped the last clip. that would have been a huge fall!

[hagelin89]

he sounds like a pig when he climbs

[TatankaIXc]

the first move is awsome:D

Wolfgang Gullich was the best

#1! Wolfgang Gullich(first ascent-first 9a/11)

[hekokra]

the man on the digicam is an... why this position? it looks like 7a... stubit

[Janottaa]

Filming from this angle doesn't do the climb justice.

[FuGreece]

he makes sounds like hes dying:D:D

[FACnumero1]

veramente devastante!!!

[gmcapi69]

Wolfgang was a true visionary.. and this is probably the most important piece of rock in the world. Wolfgang's ascent in 91 opened the eyes on the possibilities of humans as climbers... this repeat by adam has completed its history, and it seems that in some way closes the book of Action Directe. its mission is complete. Thanks to Wolfgang for pushing the sport so far. its looking like this kid will be carrying the torch for now.

[ourobsession]

Still a milestone route - just 9(!) repeats in 17 years since the FA!!!! First ascent in 1991 by Wolfgang Güllich/ GER (RIP), a man with a one-of-a-kind attitude. I feel blessed to got th know him - we miss you Wolfgang :-/ Repeats: #1 1995 Alexander Adler, GER #2 2000 Iker Pou, ESP #3 2001 Dave Graham, USA #4 2003 Christian Bindhammer, GER #5 2005 Richard Simpson, GB #6 2005 Dai Koyamada, Japan #7 2005 Markus Bock, GER #8 2006 Kilian Fischhuber, AUT #9 2008 Adam Ondra, TCH

[Saxsubaru]

Just small correction...it's not TCH but CZE

[luvitube]

Amazing.

[RicardoFreixo]

dude shut the fuck up. Do you even know this route? it's only monos and micro two finger pockets. Stop beeing an asshole and go climbing

[BatSvilko]

I guess the guy was just joking ;)

[ochoymedio78]

Are you familiar with the concept of irony? hahaha, I thought it was quite obvious that he was joking... Great effort Adam, I hope there'll be footage of him in Open Air soon...

[RicardoFreixo]

Not really, i'm cyborg. lol, sorry, i was probably having a bad day at the time ;)

[ochoymedio78]

We all have bad days once in a while, so it's ok. And anyway, sometimes written irony could be misinterpreted, right?

[petepiaire]

hm well didnt he did like two 5.15 in a day recently? i guess thats allright

[cavendisah]

cool master!! keep gonig man:))

[foggle1]

haha, I just noticed the roar at the end got cut short cos the rope caught his spuds

[foggle1]

he's out of this world yeah, just a whole new standard of c;limbing. makes you wonder if hes one of a kind or the first of a new generation?

Scary accent too

[cachimbopr]

This kid is a mutant!~!!!!!

[BatSvilko]

super clean and no belayer swinging help!
