Sheffield is the epicentre of climbing in the UK. The proximity of the Peak District and its limestone and gritstone crags makes this town really unique for climbers. After the video of Magnus Midtbø from Schoolroom in Sheffield, there is a brand new video on my YT channel from the outdoor crags of Sheffield. It is inspired by a classic film with Jerry Moffatt, and Ben Moon called The Real Thing from the 90s (which is absolutely recommended, you can find it on YT). Included checking wet holds of Hubble, old school bouldering in Stoney Middleton and flash of The Ace 8B on grit.
Starring Ben Moon, Jerry Moffatt and Magnus Midtbø . Me and my team we are really proud of this video. ⚡

Adam saying "years of modern bouldering finally paying off on the rock" that killed me
Shows us in part how inspirational these routes are.
Maybe a little dig at Jerry, seems the guy has good banter about 'new age' gym climbers 🤣
@@joelfinan I dont know any of the context. Just assumed he meant this was a paddle dyno that we see in every competition, but Jerry doing it on Ace was probably one of the first times ever. No idea tho.
I'm not sure I got the context
@@_MRK87 As far as I understand it, basically modern bouldering nowadays has little in common with rock climbing. Competition routes are more often than not full of jumps and large dynamic moves (probably more attractive for average viewers...) and in many cases it's actually more like a parkour on climbing wall than actual climbing, because all these moves are rarely ever usable outside of the gym on real rock - well, except for this one moment...
"Pull like a bastard" has to be the most inspiring, sentimental words Adam has ever received!!! Need him in 2024 at the Olympics!
It really is a special moment when Jerry finally stops playing an ego driven jerk and gets truly involved and emotional. That transmission of passion is amazing!
@@artesverticales7858 Yeh I thought the facade was funny, but it was great to see him genuinely exhilarated for Adams flash!
Jerry was known to be a somewhat on the knob side. His banter proves it. But hey he was almost untouchable in his heyday so he can be whatever he wants to be.
I got the Real Thing vibe watching this! Great video!
❤️
Turning 40 in May, haven’t climbed for a while …. I’m totally psyched now!!!
You School room video was also brilliant, can’t wait to see what Tom and Pete release now.
Could have done with more Magnus.
Climb me 😩
This was a fantastic video. Great job Jan putting this together.
Nice one Adam, Jerry, Ben and Magnus
❤️
Yeah, what a beast!
Can we look forward to seeing wide boyz footage of the Adog in the crack seller? Thankz.
and will bosi
What number was it on Hunter Hill road?
@@8skywalker8 skystalker?
I adore how it pays homage to the original The Real Thing bouldering movie in art style and music ❤
actually when I've seen for the first time this movie, I said "what a shitty music in there". Right now I find it pretty accurate for this kind of movies 😃😃😃 Fits very good, here as well!
100% agree, Real Thing soundtrack was dope and this homage is great aswell.
The 90s were the golden age of independent filming. This made me really nostalgic for niche sports like climbing and skateboarding
me to su much!!
@@RustyShackleford_as someone who has been skateboarding for 26 years. This one of the first things it reminded me of. This made me want to climb like a really good skate video would make me want to skate. No better feeling than that feeling of inspiration and passion in my opinion.
You can really see the competition in Jerry, he's a tough guy to impress. Nice to see him so happy when Adam flashed the last boulder.
I get the sense it's like being someone who watched Man O' War race back in the 1920s and then some 53 years later you go back to watch Secretariat set untouchable records at the Triple Crown for all 3 races. You are just watching the pinnacle culmination of the sport in Adam. You may have some slight resentment to the ease Adam does it, but the witnessing of something special far out shadows it.
it was great!
He's a bit of a nob that Jerry guy
I just love the shithousery too! Brilliant
@@Kingofdafarm21 oof no banter for you
goodness, the editors and sound designers on this deserve a raise - this is amazing
That music does not fit the video completely :(
@@user-ez4iv2kp4f this is what ben moon listened to it couldn’t be more fitting
@@sebastian-ez1dj but the times changed, its not in, right now.
@@user-ez4iv2kp4f music is timeless
@@sebastian-ez1dj sure, but it doesnt fit every time and place.
I loved the juxtaposition of Ben's interview, so humble and even a little shy when asked about why he keeps climbing, and then the pure raw energy when he sends a few moments later, like a beast conquering the jungle and roaring out. There was a lot going on there, really appreciated it, and was super inspired!
Ben sending Rain Shadow 6 weeks after deciding to get back into shape is incredible. Legendary achievement, Valhalla level stuff.
Makes me sad on my genetics, tho :-)
@@leoingson It's not really genetics. Once you've climbed at that level it comes back very quickly when you get back into it. I took 2 years off and I'm equal to if not back to what I was bouldering before (V8-V9) in a month.
@@Ashilax1 Thanks for giving me some hope. How long did it take you to get to V8-9 in the first place?
@@leoingson probably years but if you keep your head up and stay focused you"ll 100% reach it one day
@@Ashilax1 Genetics play a role. Getting back into shape this quickly, just as with getting in shape in the first place, needs the right amount of everything - age, bones, hormones, money, time, ... While Moon did show a generous amount of humility, the fact that he could go back to climbing that quickly and focus on it enough to achieve this are pretty likely coming from a privileged place. I mean, most parents can't even find enough sleep to do any hobbies for the first year or so...
Flashing the Ace is just incredible, so cool that Jerry was there and brimming with as much stoke as Adam. Gave me goosebumps!
he was flabbergasted more like
Jerry with the "what's he done on gritstone?" 😂
It must feel extremely validating to have the word’s greatest climber deliberately walk in footsteps you made 40 years ago. Jerry could have been petty about someone flashing one of his greatest achievements, but he seems legitimately thrilled.
Jerry is part of the old school, he talks a lot of shit, especially before the climb and during it, but he’s never going to be bitter about someone sending one of his FAs, he put them up to be climbed
Gawd, the production value of this is hard to believe! The flashbacks of the legendary Ben&Jerrys' movie is hilarious! Jerry chaffing Adam had me in tears, 'what have you done on grit?' 😹 I was waiting for the footage from Ace as the news has been shared previously and seeing Jerry being flabbergasted was well worth the wait! 😁Brought the memories of him flashing Jade back :)
Huge thanks to everybody who made this possible! 💯❤🔥
Each generation stands on the shoulders of the one before. This was a beautiful tribute - and not just for a climbing audience. Anyone can feel the excitement of honoring greatness in history. Well done, gents.
Love when Jerry says “pull like a bastard” before your flash. Can’t beat that old school mentality
Possibly my favourite climbing edit of recent years. All my favourites in one place. All the crags shown within an hour of my house. Seeing them walk the same walk-ins that i have trodden. People will say they would be there all the time if they lived as near as i do. With family commitments and work it's rarely possible, but this is a reminder that when the chance comes I will be out there crushing 6as in my solutions 🙏
This was amazing!! Thank you very much. Almost cried seeing how Adam flashed The Ace in front of Jerry. Awesome video. Nice ending Ben running in front of the new generations. Kudos to the editor.
❤️
A tear was shed on my end, so cool to see this!
yeah I was wondering if these young boulderers even knew who was that 'old' jogger who passed them on the path
Love how hyped Jerry is to see Adam Flash a problem that absolutely killed him to do the FA on. 0 Ego just absolutely hyped in the moment and sharing the joy with the next generation of legendary climber.
Jerry is such a genuine guy.
Amazing to see how excited he gets about other people's achievements.
I climbed indoors as a kid, and found Magnus randomly who created awareness of your channel. Unreal content! Makes me want to climb again!
you should! amazingly fun sport
Oh man, growing up watching these two legends develop some of the hardest stuff of their time and then being able to climb with them on exactly those routes/boulders must feel surreal. Imagine flashing the boulder youve seen your idol struggling on… IN FRONT OF THEM. This surely must be truly a special moment in life. Knowing you are exactly where you dreamt do be when you were a kid.
Moffat climbing that ladder solo in the gym. Couldn't do that these days pretty mad. Legends of the sport 👊
Rolling up to the crag in a BMW and a Benz... what legends. Great video!
One of the best videos on your channel. It may not have the incredible aesthetics of the Silence movie, but the storytelling is superb, especially considering how much content is packed into the video as well as the references to the real thing and the history behind each climb and of course the "guest stars" :)
Incredible. Brilliant collaboration and history. Can you please provide the songlist in the video description?
Damn, I can't stop smiling, and feel a little tear of joy I have to admit...
The moment you sent The Ace in front of Jerry, what can I say : History, Legends, etc...
Thanks so much for this vid !!
Real Thing was the shit when I was young, pushed me to 7B boulder but numbers are nothing without pleasure.
This wasn’t a UA-cam video. It was an essential climbing film. EXCEPTIONALLY well edited.
I think it's incredible how much social media has changed our community and towards a good direction! Sometimes we tend to focus only on the negative aspects of technology, but now we are able to witness such outstanding collaborations!
thats really, really true
Your channel is pretty good too!
@@miguelgalllego haha thanks! Beneath climbing, illustration & animation is my other main passion in life (:
Ondra, Moffatt, Moon & Midtbø.
Magnificent.
Excellent job Adam, in recreating the old skool climbing vibe.👏🏻
Brilliant brilliant film blending the old and the new. The respect between older and younger climbers is awesome to see.
Ben and Jerry's enthusiasm and passion is truly inspiring. Seeing Ben's reaction after completing that 9A or Jerry saying "pull like a bastard" and the camera guy's reaction right before Adam flashes put a huge smile on my face. The history and storytelling, old clips and music are incredible. This and Magnus' vid with you 4 are some of the best climbing vids I've ever seen. Really hope you guys get to do more of this together and we get some more videos in the future. This was really special. I feel so inspired to climb after watching this.
I loved seeing the camera guys reaction too, huge smile on my face too!!!👍🏼
They make some tasty ice cream too
Loved Jerry Moffatt's smack talk throughout, absolutely hilarious! And you can tell it comes from a place of deep respect. What an amazing collaboration and video!
Editing in the old footage was awesome, what a nice video!
Oh good. Now I'm crying. Really moving. Such an enthusiasm and love for this strange sport of ours.
Wow, Adam. Your edits dynamically are becoming something outstanding, and I know it’s not only because of amazing filmmakers you have but also how important it is for you. Thank you for a big chunk of inspiration and congrats on the flash.
As someone from Sheffield, it's so cool to see so many legends hanging out around the local area. Please come back soon these videos are amazing.
This is one of my favourite videos so far! Adam flashing the Ace in front of Jerry is historic moment and a beautiful chapter in British climbing.
This was an absolute pleasure to watch and Jerry's "pull like a bastard" is definitely my new try-hard psych motto.
Grunge feel with the music and Jerry’s raw authenticity - proper 1990’s underground UK vibes 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
The amount of good climbing content on UA-cam right now has me absolutely chuffed! Jerry heckling Adam from the ground on little Plum was also hilarious!
Ben’s story about being a dad and drifting away from climbing resonates- it’s hard. Getting back into it is hard, especially when “off the couch” doesn’t really work any more - too old. Had my first sesh in over a year last week… a little demoralising 😅 Ben - as always great inspiration, this time for the middle age me, not the 16 year old me. Thanks again!
This is something between childlike Joy and serious human Performance. Thanks! To the Team behind the scenes too!
What a cool piece of art, climbing movie and inspiraton all in one - all time heroes from 30 years ago together with you modern icons of climbing. And such a vibe of respect, joy and passion. Made a big smile on my face for the hole movie. Thanks!
That VHS tape was gold...its great Adam have interest about historic climbs/climbers, and respect them. Many really strong climbers just forget this..
Kudos Adam
Couldn't stop smiling all through this. I grew up on Ben, Jerry and The Real Thing. Thanks for an awesome vid.
Watching all these fine gentleman practice their art to such a high level is truly inspirational. I'm going for a run!!
Needs a LOVE button! Took me back to University climbing, Real Thing VHS, trips to font with friends and cold days of finger pain on grit
Climbing with Jerry and Ben in the Peak remains one of the highlights of my life. Fun blokes to be around.
Production on this is amazing, great to see the sentiment at the end too
Wow! Possibly the best climbing video ever! To see the my old heroes and the Adam together in England. Just Awesome. Adam you are such a gift to our community, the way you climb and the way you can put it into words, in English! Incredible. Respect and all the luck you deserve. 🙏
I'm a lifer ski bum over 50 and still skiing 100+ days a year. I coach skiing at our local charter school. One of my favorite sayings, that I stole from another coach, is "the world champion loves to ski." Hearing Ben speak of his love of climbing with Adam so reminds me of this sentiment.
Holy crap! So good! All these men are such good role models. So much poise and maturity good humor and stoicism.
Huge passion for climbing,between the most iconic climbers from diferent generations.
Thanks for this masterpiece video!!!!
I don't take the time to comment on Adam Ondra's videos because there are already enough compliments, but jeezzz huge congrats to the director for the fantastic job and thank you for making me discover the music theme of the video, I really like the vib!
By the way, I try to Shazam the song but didn't manage to find it, if someone could help me 🙏🏻🙏🏻
❤️
@@onedespiece couldnt either :/
One of the sickest intros to a video, cinematic with no commentary and dope music
This has been my favorite video! The 90s techno, the edition, the flash! I love you man!
15:09 through to when Adam sends is pure art, the tension build up is insane, the encouragement from jerry and the angle of the shot really made it feel like something momentous was happening. so good
❤️
im only 4 minutes into this edit, and my god this is what climbing needs from a visual stand point; absolutely stellar!
There is defiantly a spot in my heart for the somber, delicate and masterful videos of struggling to tackle some of the worlds hardest problems; but this energy is just electric.
Bravo!
The Real Thing is my favorite climbing video of all time.
I love how you kept the natural sounds in on Ben climbing rain shadow, it had me stop what I was doing and concentrate.
Then hit back in with that techno 😍, incredibly editted video
Woop, I've been looking forward to seeing Ondra on grit for a while
This should be an award winning vlog, first class cinematography and story telling and the FLASH was the icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing and, great work team!
❤️
Outstanding, I've never climbed in years but you've just got me to watch all the old classics on youtube. The real thing, Stone love, http bloc and Stick it brought some fantastic memories back cheers
This is such a gem really. The joy Ben and Jerry are getting from climbing you can see it so clearly. To take a look back at those times really reminds you of the spirit of that time and what it meant back than to dedicate yourself to climbing. And also to see people like you and Magnus who also carry the same spark. It really is beautiful to watch when people are truely passionate about something. Thank you so much Adam for making this video. I greatly enjoyed it. Also the intro with snippets from the real thing was hillarious.
Brilliant video!
I especially love the way it pays tribute to the original.
Tak tohle bylo nejvíc. Normálně slzy na krajíčku. Jsou to legendy.
this is incredible - I would pay to watch this in a theater
This video is absolutely perfect, as perfect as the four gentlemen in it! I really enjoy it and thank everyone who participated in it!
Yet again, (Magic) Adam's purity and likeability shines through this video. The titans Ben and Johnny admiring Adam's presence with humbleness and intuition. The content is absolutely delightful and it is such an inspiration for these two generations of climbers to meet and chat and joke and poke each other. Fantastic and thank you!
Jerry was the Adam Ondra of my generation. A massive inspiration for me. What a wonderful video.
Jerry Moffatt still goes into '80s punk rock climber mode at the crag. Brilliant.
We need more of this music
Absolutely fantastic movie, the retro throwback to the OG was so well done and you genuinely looked the happiest and most comfortable I’ve ever seen you with Ben and Gerry. Good banter and fantastic respect between you all.
Paying dues for the roots of our sports! Thank you for this great piece and thanks to the awesome production team.
11:15 Jerry talking smack to Adam. 🤣 So funny, Bens face while Jerry’s yelling is hilarious!! I love those two legends, great guys..
What an incredible film! Adam (and your team), the best one yet! It was so great to see Jerry just blown away with happiness when you flashed Ace!
The segment of The Ace flash is excellent. The music, and flash and Jerry's commentary work perfectly together...well done!
What an amazing feeling to see my favourite climber appreciating my hometown so much!! I’m from Sheffield but I’ve been away from home almost a year now and feeling so homesick lately. It was such a joyful surprise pressing play and recognising my backyard! Thanks for showing it so much love :-)
I'm loving this video. The evolution, the routes the vibes the old cars. My 2 passions climbing and 80s, 90s cars.
great video! Thanks everyone involved in it, absolutely loved the style of editing, please give us more like this! ❤
Wow! Not just the climbing is inspiring. The storytelling is so authentic and wholesome ❤
Fuxxxing yes!!! TRT was a VHS I burnt out I watched it so many times. Jerry and Ben were idols since before Ben cut his dreds. This is awesome revisit. The bantz from Jerry😅😅
Climbers valuing tradition is really cool and underrated
Instant classic! Old style climbing video, one of the best I've seen. Thank you.
i usually never comment on youtube but i must say adam i love what you represent for the climbing community and will always have support from your fans. also amazing video production quality , keep up the amazing work.
I'm not a climber, my obsessions lie elsewhere, but am always drawn to the extreme challenges of climbing, as they say something universal about what it is to be human...fantastic film!
This is one of the best pieces of free content I have seen in our industry, it's so incredible we can just see things of this quality pop up!
Reverent, honest, and great to see people really enjoying each other's company, just perfect, what a triumph.
Hope you all had as much of a blast as it seems, I will watch anything else you put out like this!
You can clearly tell a lot of effort went into the planning, recording and editing of this, great job! :)
great editing, great climbing, great legend, GREAT EVERYTHING! Thank you SO MUCH for doing this!
It is one of the best climbing video I watched for quite a long time. Great vibe
The real thing was a sick movie, glad to see it getting more attention now.
Such a great video. I really love how Jerry has so much excitement still for showing you his routes and so pumped for you to top them.
Just one of the best climbing vids Ive seen! So entertaining, awesome style. Love this collab.
Hardest hitting music for climbing, Love it, Great energy!
I like that Adam and I clean snow off the car the same.
The spirit is soooo strong in this one ! Fantastic video 🔥
That is a stunning video - compliments on the production quality of this. Great blend and celebration of the history with the modern standards intermixed. Those interviews were gems.
Amazing inspirational video. Allways lovely to watch your videos Andam. Big up from Portugal
I love how the clips from the 90's look like The Prodigy are about to drop a massive tune!
This was soooooo cool! I bought The Real Thing the moment it came out, and played it so many times I recognized even the font being used in this video. Awesome tribute 😊
