The question then simply becomes: just how hard am I able to climb? Just how hard will people in the future be able to climb?

I was not exatly sure. Perhaps he meant that there is nothing to top Olympia in the competing world - regarding competitions there is nothing more to come after olympia. But regarding climbing challenges there will always be harder ones with no end in sight.
My guess is half of this video is close-ups of his fingers. Sure, I get it. But it's boring since I don't know German. Needs more climbing and less fingers.
Unfortunately I don’t see him with a good result for Olympia or even other competitions. He isn’t a gym climber, his skills and technic are very low compare with other climbers. Also the fact that he is just a very slow climber. And one big question for me is that he always climb with the same shoe. I also have a Tenaya oasi and love it. But if it gets serious this shoe will never perform like a theory.
Straight outa Frankenjura in Crocs nach Tokyo traversieren - einfach eine logische Linie.

Thank you kindly 🙏
Thank you very much for the translation!!
thank you so much!
I dont speak German , but I'm pretty sure he talked about the struggles of being a super villain.
German here; you are right
Ja.
Der Typ ist Inspiration pur. Eine absolute Legende!
Those Crocs ruin the legend though (just kiddin’ :-P)
What a dude.... Good luck in Tokyo
So glad I learned a bit of German in high school.
Good luck, viele spaß Alex!
Wooo my favorite climber! Go Alex
Alex and Adam are the top favourites to win olympic gold 👍🏼
not really, they are the best climbers, but not in the Olympic format. Tomoa Narasaki and Jakob Schubert are my predictions.
@@entenfilm Adam on lead, Tomoa bouldering. That's my bet
@@miguelgalllego there are no separate titles, only a combined title of speed, lead and bouldering
Good luck with everything Alex! 10a at least!
der Alex ist so ein geiler Kerl!
Hat super viel Spaß gemacht der Dreh!
alter leon du alter Film Fuchs

Gruß und Kuss Frey

Hello, I made a quick translation in an other comment if you're interested :)
@@DeFausti Thank you!
It is a video from the german alpin club and I would say that it is okay when not every video out there is in english.
I bet Tommy Caldwell would disagree.
Unfortunately I don’t see him with a good result for Olympia or even other competitions. He isn’t a gym climber, his skills and technic are very low compare with other climbers. Also the fact that he is just a very slow climber.
