A bad day of Adam Ondra

[DownstairsTunes]

I would just like to say, since there seem to be a lot of mis-translations to the english word 'Ascend' (it is often written as 'send' which doesn't really make sense)

Ascend means to climb or otherwise traverse upwards. Ascent refers to the climb itself.

[climbv15]

Ondra has "Dave Graham Syndrome," symptoms include sending .15a's despite looking like they came straight out of a Nazi concentration camp.

@LimonadovyJoee

Not to mention he's a Petzl-sponsored athlete and can get probably a couple dozen Spirit draws whenever he asks for them.

[jrwillhike]

You cant on sight everything!!! that does not mean he is a bad climber

[jambassfunk]

Love the little smiley face at 9:20 hahaha it had be laughing so hard

[camelazo]

7:00 dolby surround falls! nice!!

[HotWiredGames]

This is him on a bad day?

[LimonadovyJoee]

It must be a good feeling, when you can left quickdraws in a route because nobody is able to steal them.

[wsaledos]

Very Nice video! Quality WoW

[omatsu123]

I don't like bad days. But we learn more from bad days and life is filled more bad days than good days. So let's learn to live with them and be prepared for good days :) Thanks, Adam, I have learned a lot from you :)

[allenkennethschaidle]

The whole rock climbing community needs to help get this kid laid

[Gcnico]

at the 7:00 mark there is a Dolby Surround logo on the rock next to him. WTF?

[mjf1974]

@Gcnico It's the name of the route

[hahahamuthafucka]

holy shitttt at 5:40 he clipped that shit so fast wow...

[robsgotit]

IMO, what some see as temper tantrums is a sign of being totally totally into it. I've heard people cut him down for it, but to me, it's just total passion on his part. Go get em Adam.

[kuikai100]

a+++++++++++

[Sakuxxx1x]

after reading dozens of accident reports i always tried to avoid using my teeth on the rope cuz many people stipped their teeth out on a flight. *brrrrrr* ;-)

[martinmedeski]

what the hell did his parents feed him

[kyatso1]

What is ondra's weight? anyone know?

[Elementecho]

@kyatso1 probably 135 lbs

once he fills out he will be a beast beyond compare

[kyatso1]

@Elementecho oki :)

Hes a really talanted climber :o

[Dreampanos]

the dolby surround logo on 7:01 is it actually there or is it just graphics??? wtf?

[TheGermanClimber]

@Dreampanos It's painted on the rock - the route is named "Dolby Surround" 8c+/9a, located in Zillertal.

[GJ0KYZ]

I wouldn't mind climbing that badly.

[Koyuki2828]

Please, whate is the song that starts at 5:21 ?

[Koyuki2828]

@Koyuki2828 please

[thetubemeister82]

Really nice quality video.

[UncorkedToast]

i think he should keep his shirt on, ugly fuck

[VVI06]

great video!

[jakubn4]

Bolia ma z toho videa prsty.

[kauolek]

Anyone knows title of the song that starts at 5:21? Allegedly author of this song is Jiří Hájek, but even with that information I still can't find it :P

[Koyuki2828]

@kauolek I'am interested too

[martinmedeski]

climbing videos without music are nice...

[paulsn]

so the second route is called "big schnaxler" ... u guys know that this means "big intercourse"?

[18Ell]

He climbs so agsgressive and seriously. Still, it gets him up 9a so who am I to ciriticise?

[PB360]

Anyone else see the Dolby Surround Brand on the rock at 7:04 ?

[55richardmorris]

@PB360 Yeh, that's why is called the "dolby surround" route!!!

[andyrob44]

I prefer sharma because his climbing is just so much more powerful

[SergShin]

Anyone knows the name of last song? such inspiring...

[WeBeChillin420]

looks like a nigga from tha hood

[byrnisson]

he's climbing onsight but he climbs fast and secure as if he had tried the route 15 times. that's awesome! he falls once in the 8c... "i didn't see the foothold and it's so easy"!!! XD then he finishes the route as if it was 6a.... amazing...

[vernemszalka]

"EEEHHHHYYAAAAAHGGGG" - (adams anger scream)

[Lifeisafruit]

Dont get mad Adam, youll have time to onsight the same grade later :)

[MrBeatboy93]

he´s a nice climber / punkt aus ^^

[recbeatloop]

look at the headlines, or learn english :D

[JayOhR]

lol at the screams

[recbeatloop]

great performance !

but that´s not onsight climbing !!!

[dzezydzerk]

@recbeatloop  but who said it's os climbing???? -you? there was one route he tried on sight thats all...

[Spydamonky1]

@recbeatloop How is that not onsighting? Just because the Draws are up does not mean he has climbed the route before. You notice how there is a camera man on top... You don't climb in the regions of 8a and above with out the draws already up, its not possible to stop and clip if you have to hang draws too.

[Bonne123]

He certainly is in need of new eyeglasses, those round make him look a bit nerdish. Eyeglasses are vicious in climbing.

[asd800]

actually he might be able to onsight one of chuck-norris roundhouse-kicks!

[enrimadrock]

if this is a bad day, i expect to have a bad day the next time that i going to climb...

[bibhuna]

This guy is so slow clipping in compared to Sharma.

[badgey]

hes not exactly good looking haha

[dangerouswater]

Great Climber ... but when he get's angry it remembers me Gollum in the Lord of the Rings...being skinny as well...

[Thomasikzelf]

lol "al least send that 8c" 3:19 "i didn't see that foothold... and it's so easy" 5:39 he is pretty agressive btw:O

[vipolarnoise]

agryy jijijijijijij....

[quadtg]

Impressive !

[PeaSoup174]

that is one of the skinniest guys i have ever seen

hahaha

mad props though. thats..thats pretty awesome

[Ondraasha]

Proud to be his schoolmate :)

[WayneTheClimber]

He's been climbing since he was 4.

[TheQuarryboy]

6 actually he has said he started in 1999 last year that makes him 6 when he started

[tektonikplaque]

How can some of this be an onsight ascents if the quickdraws are pre-placed? Is this pinkpoint or red point rather than onsight?

Still, his feistiness, his stamina, his motivation can make most us us go humbly crawl back under cover. :-)

Adam Ondra is really a wonder kid. Sharma, Huber and others agree, and in the decade to come he will show us such feasts!!

[yomattieT]

Well im not sure but i have herd some people absale down the route and place them before climbing it. and r its red pointing and on sighting its a bit of both:P just enjoy it

[peetanui]

Dont forget the camera man is on a rope.

[kricir]

some climbers yell when they fall from a combination of fear and frustration. Adam seems upset when he falls, but he doesn't throw a tantrum, he gets over it quickly and keeps climbing

[skateordieseven20]

this would be an epic day for me

[lasportiva1994]

I have the same climbing shoes!

[RunnerJim95]

what are they? la sportiva katanas?

[RunnerJim95]

or the miuras later on in the vid

[Dalamon1]

i cant onsight 6c+...and 8c..i would be incredible happy if i will climb one before i die, this is awesome.

[Achilleus30]

Wow he gets really pissed when he falls. He is pretty driven, which is good, but what a temper.

[marco6838]

bravo Adam vederti mi fa sempre venir voglia di arrampicare

CIAO

[Nicolaskas]

ya empieza ondra a pudrir cuerdas

[Vinnygil]

did u guts notice the "Dolby surround" logo on the bottom of the rock at 7:01? lol

[eriktassmer]

if i weighed 83 pounds i could climb that too :)

[gerardo231]

@eriktassmer everyone has the strenght according to their body wheight i dont think sharma is 83 pounds

[recbeatloop]

Nice video, thanks a lot !

But does onsight climbing not automatically exclude already clipped carbines ? (with a little help or my friends *g* )

[BewareOfOranges]

no it doesnt

[benderc1]

wow thats strong. Good power and great tech. cool video.

[xsexxxbix]

yes it would be good if my good days would be like his bad ons

but its really great video

[millanus]

i wish my bad days were like this!

[thejugglingfool]

i've noticed all elite climbers seem to know their sequence perfectly and never pause to look around for a better foot,hand,etc! it annoys the shit out of me!

[faethons]

that is so bloody true, i have noticed, i guess that is called experience and lots of climbed

metres

[dumptzzz]

looks a bit like gollum at the forbidden pool :D

[Givicencio]

Nice music, whats the name?

[jovino]

7:02... WTF is with the Dolby logo on the rock?! It appears as if it is on the rock and not added digitally because it also appears at 7:09 at a different angle.

[petepiaire]

is the name of the route , it was probably spray painted on it

[IljaHB]

pěkný :)

[leguancz]

damn good climber
