Hi everyone, the first boulder is not 8B but 7B! You are skilled, you have figured it out! We made a mistake - sorry for that. Anyway, enjoy the video! AO Team.
Not gonna lie, those look pretty tame compared to what we're seen in recent comps. Hope Adam is ready! This vid has got me psyched for the world cup hope to see more of such vids
Yeah, the evolution of wc boulders in the last year or so is insane. They are setting stuff that doesn’t look humanly possible, and there’s guys like Mejdi that flash them 🤯
The trend towards comp style climbing has favoured tiny guys like mejdi schalke and tomoa, it's nice to see a guy my size and see how he moves. Thanks Adam.
I think they should add an exit line (a down climb jug) on comp walls. It's stupid that they force climbers to just jump from the top! It's high impact on the knees and takes nothing to add one down jug to the opposite side of the last hold avoiding the climbers approach and the line itself. None the less, great video. Having a brief description (moves, grade, style, holds etc) of the problem is great for us viewers. ✌️
Really looking forward to seeing where you are placing in the World Cup Adam. Ive been watching from the start and the level is just incredible this year 🤙🏼
It makes me uncomfortable how regularly we see all kinds of outrageous shoulder moves or twisted arms and such in World Cup circuits. I know Adam misread the beta and this wasn't set by an IFSC setter, but still, I'd prefer it if World Cup bouldering would return to slightly more human requirements in terms of physicality.
Imo the sport of climbing can be pushed in various ways. Testing professional climbers on their shoulder strength and cordination is interesting and although it is a less conventional style has helped make climbers more rounded athletes in comparison to 15 years ago
It’s spectacular. That’s the only reason they set it. There is as much complexity in less weird moves, eg hard board or outdoor climbing. It’s just not that obvious to the viewer
IMO at this point we should all have accepted that outdoor and indoor climbing (and with it comp settings) are just different modalities of the same sport. I see beauty in asking a climber to simply answer the question "how would you get up there?". That is simple and pure, and by all means legitimate. Board climbing is just a subset of the things the human body can do to answer that question, and anyone is free to simply take that.
idk. Like the dude above said, comp setting follows trends. At the beginning, it was very outdoor oriented. Now it has changed cause the new school style just looks spectacular to the public/noob eye. Oc you could say that we just have to accept that. But to what degree? If it’ll be more and more like that over the next years, comp climbing will lose many established climbers interest, including mine. It separates the community even beginning now. Commercial gyms started focusing their setting on the average Joe who trys climbing cause he saw comp climbing on tv. There is a split between the new school, commercial scene (comp climbing as a public advertiser, big ass beginner/intermediate focused gyms) and the old community of rock nerds. Which is a shame because both sides have so much to contribute to each other. I personally feel very sad if the local strong kid who only climbed comp/new school in big gyms in their entire life never meet or even heard about the city’s strongest rock climbers. this basically happened to me a few weeks ago, 15 year old kid who crushes went to the fun comp of my local schoolroom-like training wall and both us and him had never seen each other before. Just sad.
To a lot of beginners and non-climbers, they think that good outdoor climber = good comp climber, but that's simply not the case. Adam Ondra might have a household name synonymous with hard climbing, but the man hasn't been in a WC boulder finals in a long time.
@@EntirelyPointlessContent I mean only true in the context of last season. He won golds in lead and boulder the season before last and he's been a consistent winner throughout the years he's entered comps. Yes the style has changed a good bit since then but we also saw in Salt Lake some more power focused boulders in the finals so who knows how this world cup will suit him?
@@eurekaflows In fairness though, the only reason for this is that he hasn’t even competed in a boulder World Cup for *2 years*. His last competitions were Meiringen and Salt Lake City in 2021, both of which he won.
Hahahaha, love the challenge,but unfortunately when I go climbing there's about 10 people trying the same boulder. Don't think I can really take 4 minutes by myself on a specific problem.

love your vids Ondra! Go on and the best luck from Germany! :)
It's a V2 in my gym anyways
does an 8B boulder in that style even exist ?
No worries, everything looks "Level impossible" to me anyway 😅😂😅
got me bouta say im an 8b climber
The finish to the Boulder 3 problem is such a cool sequence with the swing into the press 🔥
Cool, please, do more this content!
Could watch this format for hours. Even if you comment on you actual comp bouldering.
Hearing what you thought would be amazing.

You have your answer now :) He's got the silver !
Please make more videos like these, we would love to see the worlds best climber do hard bouldering problems from time to time. 👍
Gonna be in Prague this weekend to watch my first ever World Cup live, cannot wait to see you send like a God, Adam!
I'm jealous! I'm so excited for that competition!
The two POVs really brings home how hard these problems are
Legend
This is really the best kind of video: Only hard bouldering with an explanation for every problem.
Quality angles 🎉

This video popped up for me at the perfect time: I arrived in Prague today so I can watch the comp this weekend. This got me even more excited.

I like the double POV. Really lets you get a better idea of how the boulder is shaped in 3d space.
Thank you Adam. Very interesting and a look at the best in training. MORE PLEASE! T)
I liked watching the one you failed on, and then having you show the proper beta. Very interesting one tweak and it goes easily.
A joy to watch, thanks Adam :)
Favorite videos to watch pls make more 👏
Very cool video ! Good luck for the final tomorrow ⚡️
super cool idea! going to try this at the gym with my friend next time we go gym bouldering
Are there any plans on making a kilterboard video? I'm interested in how kilterboard transfers to comps!
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
6:34 SOOOOO SICK!
Entertaining take on solo bouldering Adam, thanks for the video!
Great too at the end, loved these boulders, thanks Ondra
I rewatch this video ever month
Really looking forward to seeing where you are placing in the World Cup Adam. Ive been watching from the start and the level is just incredible this year 🤙🏼
Such a trip to watch your videos, fuckin inspirational man, and it’s awesome hearing your perspective. Much love and mad respect.
that 360 move is super cool to watch
El mejor escalador. Para muchos nuestro campeón olímpico
He knows folks...
Boulder #3 for the win! 🏆
At first I thought you would do a figure 4 instead of 360 on that hold, but the beta was amazing! and the 2nd part looked really cool
I'd like more videos like this!!!
You see, I have never even fallen on an 8c+…(I haven’t even gotten on one)
Super forma!
A little knee bar on the 5th, who could have thought!
Nice
It's intresting that really the beta was the most singnificant thing holding him back in many cases. Gotta commend the route setters for that.
that first boulder doesn’t look 8b
I think it was an error and was 7b instead of 8b
Hey guys, of course, you're right! We made a mistake there. The first boulder is 7B :-) Sorry for that, AO Team.
V0 in my gym
the chutzpah to tell Adam Ondra that his boulder isn't as hard as claimed, and be RIGHT. Nice ahaha
Nice answer AO
congrats on silver!
👍

That's what she said
6:34 can anyone share the link to this song? i'm trying to google song list from description but there is nothing :O
if Adam ain't getting it, no one is
With all respect to Mr Ondra, that's not true. In boulder world cups he often doesn't make the finals
To a lot of beginners and non-climbers, they think that good outdoor climber = good comp climber, but that's simply not the case. Adam Ondra might have a household name synonymous with hard climbing, but the man hasn't been in a WC boulder finals in a long time.

@@superandrewkeko23 7 days a week?
@@walterlotte4215 Hahaha well, it's not like on weekends the climbing gym is empty on mornings anyway.
