He was able to do it because he climbs a lot outdoors. Jamming is one of basic outdoor climbing skils and he is good at it as a great outdoor climber. He knew he will do it from the moment he saw it. Others spend too little time climbing outdoors

Just climbing outdoors doesn't mean you know how to jam. Not everyone crack climbs, so if all you do outside is boulder or sport climb, it's common to still not know how to jam.

Hand jams are better than jugs if the crack is the right size and you know what you’re doing.. the problem is comp climbers pull on plastic too often It’s near impossible to find a crag without a crack at it

Handjams are good enough that you can genuinely pull a car with one, if you know how to do it

This was such an amazing moment at the world cup finals, Ondra just cruising this problem with everyone else not being able to top it.... Just Epic!

"Moment he touched the crack 😊" Meahwhile me 💀

Minor correction: you said hand jamming and then described a bunch of crack-climbing techniques. Hand jamming is one particular climbing technique that involves placing a hand into a crack. Using your arm would be an 'arm bar' or 'chicken wing', hand and fist would be a 'stack', using the feet is unsurprisingly a 'foot jam'. That said, the technique used by ondra on this climb was a hand jam.

You are correct, thanks for pointing that out!

Seeing crack techs at comp climbin events is really cool. I’d love to see more crack volumes with other jam sizes, especially fist+hand and larger. I’m just imaging how cool to would be to have an off width sized wideboys volume on a comp climb.

Love that you showed the Wide Boyz.

so endearing to see him be so happy with his achievement, too :)

It's crazy that realistically this crack was prolly less than V6

Wish my gym set more cracks like this. I don't know why a lot of climbers don't like cracks. They feel far more secure than a lot of other types of holds.

I'm from Czechia and I was at a climbing center and met him there. He almost fell on my head, then apologized. It was a funny encounter, cuz then I didn't even know who he was lol We both laughed it off and he was very chill

Jak rozvášnil to publikum🎉

Adam is one of the most incredibly versatile and talented climbers to ever live. An absolute animal.

How do i find the video of the guy doing the kneebar upside down

any sauce for the clips at the start? those look absolutely insane too, would love to watch the full vids.

hand jam so easy but it is a trick to be learned over a year or more

imo it is sad that professional climbers do not know basic techniques like jams. In competitions they especially wanna find the best overall climber by making slabs, coordinations, dynos, etc but crack climbing I can only think of this one on the international scene. If there will be another crack boulder or lead route this year, a lot of competitors would fail miserably. Even some of the great favorites... THIS would make a final more interesting&challenging

Those jams look super solid.

I guess we could say he's *cracked* at climbing... 😉

I thought this would be an instructional video and instead it's just Ondra flexing on everyone 😂

He's been hanging out in the wide boys' cellar!

ofcourse he can do it he's adam ondra

Czechs are experts in jamming. Czechia has many sandstone crack climbing

Yeah, i remember that one!

Bro violated the others

How does a hand jam generate outward pressure with anything but your hands? That's why it's called a >HAND< jam.

@climb_able_

11 ай бұрын

You're right xD I should've said "jamming is a technique..."

Yes, “hang jamming” includes the process of creating outward pressure with your “foot” lmao

I mean this is fairly obvious. Other competition climbers, climb pretty much pure plastic and comp style. However Adam on the other hand is the greatest climber in the world currently. And is highly profficient in basciallt all techniques. To him this crack style of climbing is a walk in the park. Hence the confidence before he even finished. Where as the other climbers most likely have never even climbed crack before.

And he flexes on the others by holding it with one hand to hype up the crowd haha

pete whitaker could do that one with ease too 😂

After he found out, that no other person toped it, he explained Crack climbing to his opponents 😅

"hand jamming is when climbers use their foot"

Honestly criminal how the wide boyz were left out of the crack climbing compilation.

Don’t know if I would call crack climbing an unpopular skill.

Why dont they train more handjams?? I understand not liking it but comon, youre a professional athlete. Its not that bad

Other athletes probably couldn't send it, not because the move was difficult, but cuz.. it hurts. Easy indoor hand jams hurt like hell. Cant imagine hanging from one outside or inside

Don't even bother measuring Adams body fat.

Adam Ondra ❤❤❤❤

No mention of it but during the recce he was showing all the other competitors how to finger jam the lower section but everyone just laybacked it - what other sport would you find competitors helping each other like that. The reason Adam could do it is because he's the GOAT 😂😂

Pretty sure if you use your foot it's not a hand jam.
