@@_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...

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.

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 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.

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" :)

Moffat climbing that ladder solo in the gym. Couldn't do that these days pretty mad. Legends of the 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.

Rolling up to the crag in a BMW and a Benz... what legends. Great video!

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 KZread video. It was an essential climbing film. EXCEPTIONALLY well edited.

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.

Brilliant brilliant film blending the old and the new. The respect between older and younger climbers is awesome to see.

Oh good. Now I'm crying. Really moving. Such an enthusiasm and love for this strange sport of ours.

This is something between childlike Joy and serious human Performance. Thanks! To the Team behind the scenes too!

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.

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. 🙏

Production on this is amazing, great to see the sentiment at the end too

Couldn't stop smiling all through this. I grew up on Ben, Jerry and The Real Thing. Thanks for an awesome vid.

Holy crap! So good! All these men are such good role models. So much poise and maturity good humor and stoicism.

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

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!

Incredible. Brilliant collaboration and history. Can you please provide the songlist in the video description?

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!

Huge passion for climbing,between the most iconic climbers from diferent generations. Thanks for this masterpiece video!!!!

Amazing inspirational video. Allways lovely to watch your videos Andam. Big up from Portugal

I'm loving this video. The evolution, the routes the vibes the old cars. My 2 passions climbing and 80s, 90s cars.

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.

One of the sickest intros to a video, cinematic with no commentary and dope music

It is one of the best climbing video I watched for quite a long time. Great vibe

This video is absolutely perfect, as perfect as the four gentlemen in it! I really enjoy it and thank everyone who participated in it!

Grunge feel with the music and Jerry’s raw authenticity - proper 1990’s underground UK vibes 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼

Paying dues for the roots of our sports! Thank you for this great piece and thanks to the awesome production team.

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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 😊

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!

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 :-)

Great video Adam! You and Magnus inspired my Son to start climbing. He's been climbing 8 months and currently working on 7s at our local bouldering gym. Climbing has changed his life and you give him the inspiration he needs!

Ondra, you have become the best content creator for climbing. You are also providing us a glimpse into peoples daily lives. Can you please make a video about the history of the campus board and start the video at the campus center in Germany. This has everything to do with the first quasi/sudo replica for AD and for perhaps climbing in general. Wolfgang did 1-5-8 on two fingers at a distance of 20cm . However, the distance on the first wrung is at 23.5 cm, and the rest is at 20 cm. That means his 1-5 distance total was not even in cm but close to 84. Maybe it's 83.5...... I bet you that is the distance for the first move/jump on AD. Why not an even 84 cm? Why not an even 80 cm? So could you please give us some history on this. Moffat and Moon would know. And Why is the traditional campus board that you find at most gyms not at 20 but 22 cm? Solve the campus board conspiracy! Thanks!
